60 Seconds with Steve Monroe: Senior Housing Women’s Initiative
Bring out the pink at this week’s NIC Conference in Dallas and show your support for women in seniors housing. I hope you have noticed, like I have, the growing ranks of women in seniors housing and care. Think back 20 years ago at NIC, or even 10 years, and women were far and few between in attendance. They are operators, investors, lenders, lawyers, brokers, appraisers, consultants – everything under the sun. And this makes perfect sense. Our industry is an employer of women. Something like 75% or more of employees in seniors housing are women, and I am sure they all like to see other women in leadership roles. And, by seeing them in these roles, it is something they...

Attention to Wellness in Active Adult Living
New construction in the senior care industry dropped during the pandemic for a variety of reasons, but we may be in the midst of a construction boom for active adult communities. We are reminded of 2014, when our inbox was starting to fill with many developers announcing their latest assisted living/memory care community groundbreakings. Not only that, investors and operators started to launch new development pipelines (some a little too ambitious), touting the unstoppable force of “demographics.” Eight years later, we are much closer to the baby boomers aging into seniors housing, and most of the new construction announcements have been in the lower-acuity, low-service active adult...
