With changes in technology and medicine, people are living longer and longer. 

What does that mean for our economy? 

What new needs can we anticipate and meet in the future?

Housing that meets the needs of seniors is WAY behind the supply curve, so it appears…

The Silver Tsunami:

The number of seniors in our country (as of 2014) is expected to double to more than 72 million by 2030. And by 2050? That number will hit 83 million.

The silver tsunami isn’t just a storm - it’s a multi-decade, record-busting gale.

Recession Proof:

Need vs. Want

In times of economic uncertainty, it is smart to unyoke oneself from traditional market fluctuations. Senior housing, especially in terms of assisted living and memory care, are necessities. They’re needs, not wants.

Families are less likely to cut back services for an elderly parent than they are to cut back on consumer spending on non-essentials.

Not Enough Supply:

Research shows America needs to build about two million more senior housing units by 2040 to fill the anticipated need.
