Fresno, California sees a boom in assisted living development
It’s unusual to see a metro area with a population of nearly a million increase its number of assisted living units by over 30%, in a year. Nevertheless, Fresno, California is looking to add 364 new assisted living units to the city’s existing 579 units, or a 63% increase, (according to NIC MAP) by 2015. A report from Central California Institute for Healthy Aging expects the senior population aged 65 and up to grow considerably in the next five to 10 years, as seniors wishing to retire in California may see Fresno as a less expensive option compared with the rest of the state. Governor Brown recently complicated matters as well, by cutting funding to taxpayer-backed redevelopment... Read More »Senior Housing Boom in Rochester, Minnesota

Not to be left behind by the ever expanding senior housing market in the Houston metro area, three existing retirement communities are planning significant additions which would expand both their size and continuum of care through a variety of services. The Buckingham, a 323-unit senior living community consisting of 204 independent living apartments, 43 assisted living units, 16 memory care suites and 60 private skilled nursing rooms, was built in 2005, but after reaching full capacity, they sought to fill a growing need for senior care in the area. The $56 million expansion, which will cost about $300,000 per unit, will add an additional 104 IL apartments, 33 AL suites, 18 memory care... Read More »Schedule a demo
