The long-anticipated wave of senior housing demand is here, but the industry's ability to respond remains uncertain. With the 80+ population growing, new construction lagging, and capital and workforce constraints continuing, operators and developers face critical decisions about how and where to grow. Grounded in NIC MAP's market data across more than 200 metropolitan markets, this Roundtable will examine the gap between rising demand and available supply. Following a brief overview of key industry trends, participants will engage in facilitated discussion around development opportunities, capital availability, operational readiness, and the decisions executives must make to position their organizations for the next phase of growth.
