How do individuals with incomes that are above qualifying for traditional affordable housing and below affording an entrance fee or private pay community find suitable senior housing options? Older adults who can afford entrance fee CCRCs have many options. Middle income seniors struggle to find affordable housing combined with the necessary healthcare services needed to age in their community. By understanding market demographics, strategies to design and develop moderately priced senior living communities, and proposed policy and regulatory changes, we can create more options for the middle market boom. Come hear planning and design strategies as well as case study best practices.
