WHY INVEST IN THE SENIORS HOUSING MARKET
MATURE ASSET CLASS
The seniors housing market in North America is well-established, with many large companies operating in the sphere.
​
Asset Class Overview
The seniors housing and long term care industry provides both accommodation and an array of services and program options for seniors. The demand for these properties is primarily driven by the segment of the seniors’ population over the age of 75. The level of service and variety of options available to the seniors housing marketplace continue to evolve as the needs, preferences and demands of seniors and their families change.
​
The types of properties which facilitate the delivery of accommodation and care services to seniors are typically divided into five categories: seniors apartments (“SA”), independent living (“IL”), assisted living (“AL”), memory care (“MC”) and long-term care (“LTC”). Continuing Care Retirement Communities (“CCRCs”) represent a hybrid model, and typically offer all of the care levels noted above on a single campus. *
