But in absolute terms, it’s a lot of people requiring specialized housing (with long-term care option on site, for example) and a statistic that grows as the years go by. This yields very attractive economics in the demand for senior housing, which exceeds the current supply.

Companies that specialize in senior housing, assisted living and medical office buildings or a mix of the above all stand to benefit immensely.
