What is UBRC?
University-based retirement communities, also known as UBRCs, are senior communities that are affiliated with a college or university. UBRCs often have the following characteristics:
- A location that is accessible to the school (within one mile of the university, preferably)
- Formalized programming incorporating the school and the community.
- A full program of continuing care, from independent to assisted living.
- A documented financial relationship between the university and the senior-housing provider
