Real Estate Growth Meets Resident Care: Leveraging Technology for Better Returns and Outcomes

The senior care industry is set for significant growth, driven by the expanding global senior population—also called the “Silver Tsunami”. By 2050, the number of people aged 60 and older is expected to more than double, reaching over two billion people worldwide (WHO). For REITs and real estate investors, this demographic shift presents a promising opportunity to grow portfolios in the senior housing sector while providing quality care and service, especially as demand outpaces supply. However, along with these growth prospects, senior housing operators and investors must address ongoing challenges—particularly operational efficiency, workforce management and balancing costs with occupancy growth.
