Strong Senior Housing Investment Requires More Than Strong Aging Demographics

Many people will tell you senior housing is a strong investment opportunity because of our country’s relentless aging demographics.

Ways to Cut the High Cost of Senior Housing

One of the most common complaints about senior housing is this: it’s too $%&! expensive. Depending on the community, and the types of amenities and services offered, residents of assisted living and memory care facilities, for example, can pay $6,000 per month or more to live there. This can, of course, be a huge burden to aging Americans and their families. And it’s the reason so many are starting to ask an important question: Why? And the related question: Is there any way to pay less? Turns out, there are more choices than you might realize.

Building a Smarter Investment Portfolio in 2019

End-of-year is a popular time to revisit investment portfolios and earnings goals. In fact, while we often associate New Year’s resolutions with things like working out and losing weight, research shows the top resolution of 2018 had nothing to do with health; It had to do with money. As we look ahead to 2019, it’s a great time to take a closer look at your financial well-being, including where you’re investing your money and what it’s earning for you. The following are a few simple tips to get you started.

Here’s a look at how the longevity market engages government to drive policy changes for the good of our aging society.

Why Residential Aging in Place is Good for Senior Housing

Most aging Americans want to age in place within their own residence, and innovations in technology are making that goal increasingly possible. As an investor in senior housing, I see this as a positive trend. Why? Residential aging in place will create many new potential revenue streams for operators within the senior housing industry. It will also allow operators to encounter seniors even earlier in the aging process, ensuring a longer and stronger relationship with potential residents. More revenue and more long-term residents make for a winning investment opportunity.

The ABCs of CBDs: Marijuana Products for Your Health

Cannabidiol, or CBD (an oil from cannabis; marijuana is a species of cannabis), is increasingly being marketed to aging Americans as a wonder-drug for everything from cancer care to joint pain, and research shows those marketing campaigns are working. But not all CBD products are created equal, and not all will be effective for those seeking therapeutic relief. As the commercial market continues to expand, it’s important  to understand what you’d be getting if you buy a product labeled CBD.

Private Equity or REIT: Which is a Smarter Senior Housing Investment

One of the questions I hear most often as an equity fund manager in the senior housing sector is this: Which makes a smarter investment in senior housing—public REIT or private equity? In many ways, the answer depends on the investor. All things being equal, both public REITs and private equity funds provide an opportunity to capitalize on the unrelenting growth of our aging population in the coming decades. Each also holds its own distinct benefits and risks.

Families are Having “The Talk”--And We Need to Listen

At this time of year, we see a lot of stories encouraging families to have “the talk” about aging. It’s Thanksgiving, after all. This is one of the few times of the year when three, and sometimes four generations, gather together for an extended period of time. Consumer-facing publications and organizations know this. Each year, they work create resources that make “the talk” a positive one—complete with checklists, conversation starters and resources that make tough issues like end-of-life easier to discuss. If we’re being honest, most of us blow past these articles because we think they don’t really apply to us in the industry. After all, we already know the big questions our customers are asking.  Below are just a few reasons to stop and read a few of these “conversation” articles this year.

Engaging Millennials Means Meeting Them Where They Are

According to the AARP report, 1 in 4 family caregivers today is a Millennial, and that number will continue to grow as Boomers continue to age. A recent survey from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, however, showed that overall, younger caregivers feel less prepared than older caregivers in taking on this role. The question now, then, is how we as an industry can better serve Millennials and, ultimately, create better policies surrounding caring for our aging in the years ahead.
