It was another chaotic year, as has been the norm post-COVID, but we still have a lot to be thankful for. The seniors housing and care industry continues to show remarkable resiliency in the face of inflation, staffing crises, and countless negative attention in the media and among politicians. 

We are thankful for the thousands of caregivers furthering the mission every day of serving our seniors and making the last years of their lives fruitful, happy and well-spent. We are thankful to the capital providers who stuck with the industry through the bad times, injecting much-needed funds into aging physical plants and financing as many acquisitions as they did, giving us plenty to write about in the last year. Hopefully the dealmakers, operators and capital providers will soon see “the good times” and recognize them when they come. 

Thank you to everyone here at Levin Associates, from our editorial team to account managers and everyone in between for helping us grow year after year. And lastly, we are thankful to all of our friends in the industry, for continuing to take our calls, yes, vent about things, but also express their optimism for the industry in the coming decade. Happy Thanksgiving.
