The senior living industry faces a significant challenge: appealing to the “middle-income market,” the millions of older adults who find their finances place them in a gray zone of uncertainty as they consider their senior housing options.
Are you up for the challenge?
With too much income to qualify for affordable housing and not enough to afford market-rate communities, these seniors represent an unmet need and a huge opportunity for developers and providers.
This opportunity also presents a variety of challenges as developers and providers rethink how they approach building and operating a community to meet both the needs and the price point of middle-income seniors.
Solving the industry's next great challenge
Last month, our team spearheaded a panel discussion at the InterFace Seniors Housing Midwest Conference to explain how to build and operate communities to meet the middle-income need.
