What is the purpose of the State of Senior Housing Survey?
The survey collects current financial performance data on senior housing communities, information which can be critical to attracting new sources of capital.
The quality of our industry’s data relates directly to the size and composition of this sample.
In 2011, we collected data from over 1,700 properties. If you contributed data for a given property last year, it is particularly important that we obtain information about that property this year also, so that “same-store” industry trends in revenues, costs, and census can be analyzed.
In a constrained capital environment such as the one we are currently experiencing, transparency is a necessity if our industry hopes to attract new sources of capital to invest in seniors housing.
Since 1992, the State of Seniors Housing survey has captured and widely-disseminated financial performance data for seniors housing communities. We need your participation in order to provide a representative picture of the industry.
For owners or managers of multiple properties, please submit data for as many of your properties as is practical. We will adjust overall results so large portfolios are neither over-represented nor under-represented.
