Senior Living Investing Made Easy: Earn Excellent Returns While Providing a Better Life for Seniors

According to Statista.com, it is estimated that over a fifth (20 percent) of the population in the United States will be 65 years or older by 2050 (compared to only 15.6% today). If we consider the quality of living conditions that our seniors call “home,” we will undoubtedly find them lacking—and given how many seniors will be and are currently among us, this is certainly cause for alarm.

With a rapidly aging population, we must start planning how we will house and care for the senior population in the future. In 2019, the not-for-profit Senior Living organization, National Senior Campuses, reported only 21,000 Senior Living units across the United States.

Other than housing, personal and medical care for seniors is another pressing issue with massive potential for growth in the coming years. Among the population of older adults in the United States, almost seven percent require personal care from other persons, often in the form of meal preparation, transportation, and help with personal grooming.

Our elderly are the people who connect us to our past. They are also, however, among our most vulnerable citizens. Safe and adequate housing accommodations should be an essential requirement for the well-being of all people. Yet, there needs to be more consideration given to accommodating the aging population or improving their quality of life.
