A NIC Signature Session

Being an informed leader, with data-driven insights, is more important than ever. The Senior Housing sector is well poised for smart growth and moving forward in bold ways and in demonstrating the value of the housing and care provided to seniors every day. This session will equip attendees with the analytics and actionable insights needed to seize upon the tailwinds and navigate ongoing headwinds facing the sector. NIC Research & Analytics team members, Lisa McCracken, Caroline Clapp and Omar Zar, will drill down into the investment outlook for the short- and mid-term, the analytics that drive key metrics such as penetration rates, and insights derived from a series of case studies that enable others to learn from proven models in both the Active Adult and Middle Market space.

The session will also feature Dianne Munevar, vice president of Health Care Strategy at NORC at the University of Chicago, who will share newly released research demonstrating the value of senior housing, specifically, the cost savings that senior housing offers to Medicare and other payors. This seminal research has the potential to transform payments and margins in the senior housing industry. This opening session is set to inform and embolden attendees to move forward and seize the tremendous opportunity ahead.
