“Investors excited about independent and assisted living: report,” by Lois A. Bowers, McKnight’s Senior Living

“CBRE forecast that active adult housing will become increasingly important to the senior housing and care industry — which traditionally is thought to include independent living, assisted living, memory care and skilled nursing — because it will attract baby boomers, who will be aged 53 to 72 years in 2018. Although overall, investors ranked active adult housing in third place in the survey as far as interest, 13% said they viewed it as the segment in which they were most interested, more than twice as many as had said so in the previous survey, CBRE said.”

LTC Comment (from Stephen A. Moses, President, Center for Long-Term Care Reform):

You know how the ocean recedes just before the tsunami hits? That’s what is going on here. The boomer generation is in the sweet spot for independent living, but the seniors housing industry would be wise to look ahead to 2031.That’s when boomers start turning 85 and the wave of assisted and skilled nursing will hit. Just as Medicare, Social Security and Medicaid hit the wall, by the way.
