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...

60 Seconds with Swett: Spring NIC Returns to Dallas
This time next week, we will be arriving in Dallas for the annual Spring NIC Conference. The last NIC in Houston felt relatively normal, but this conference is the first since national and state mask mandates have, for the most part, ended. And finally, the general consensus seems to be that we are in an endemic now. So, the industry is moving on in this “new normal.” (who’s ready to hear those words a lot in Dallas?). Given that, there should be a lot of optimism around rising occupancy, low construction levels and “COVID” playbooks. But we hope some of that optimism is tempered with some realism. Occupancy is rising, but from historically low points, and with bumps along with way (as... Read More »
