Takeaways From Fall NIC Conference

Takeaways From Fall NIC Conference

by | Oct 4, 2017 7:02 am | 60 Seconds, Opinion

Last week’s NIC conference displayed the growing divergence of opinion on the state of the seniors housing and care market. A lot of people have asked me what I thought about the recent NIC conference in Chicago. Well, I have been covering the seniors housing and care sector for 30 years, I have attended all 27 fall conferences, but never have I heard such divergent opinions regarding the state of the market as I did last week. On the one side, you have those who are hoarding their cash, or raising new money, waiting for the market to take a plunge so they can take advantage of cheap prices. Most of these people have been around for a while, and like me, let their historical... Read More »

Seniors Housing Sentiment on Eve of NIC Conference

As we ready ourselves for attending the NIC Conference, it should be interesting from a sentiment perspective. Good morning San Diego!

Or will we be seeing continued caution from those worried about occupancy, labor, rising interest rates and the new community openings this year? The party is definitely not over, but if you were to balance out the positives with... Read More »
Reflections on NIC Conference

Reflections on NIC Conference

by | Sep 21, 2016 8:32 am | 60 Seconds, Opinion

Change is coming, and while some people will be prepared for it, others will struggle. With a record turnout at last week’s NIC Conference, we wanted to see what the mood was, and whether there was any primary theme. The mood was decent, perhaps not as upbeat as in years past, but it really depended on whom you asked. The old-timers are a bit nervous, the newcomers more bullish. On the skilled nursing side, going from fee for service payments to bundled payments and ACOs is going to be more painful than many believe it will be, and could result in many small providers hanging it up and selling. It will not cause the value disruption that came after the PPS change to Medicare in the late... Read More »
