A week from today, thousands of leaders in senior housing and care will convene, in person, for three days of networking, deal-making, and strategic insight. For many, the 2021 NIC Fall Conference is the most important event of the year, particularly during a time of disruption which is presenting significant challenges – and major opportunities. Most are likely looking forward to meeting friends, old and new, in person, and to being able to return to a sense of normalcy. Veterans of previous NIC conferences will notice some changes from past events, but will nonetheless enjoy all of the business benefits, and perks, that they have come to expect from this highly anticipated event. NIC, working closely with event health and safety leader, SafeExpo, as well as in close coordination with the management and staff of the Marriott Marquis Houston, has designed the event both to be as safe as possible, and as rewarding as ever. No Onsite Registration Due to safety requirements, NIC is closing registration this Thursday, October 28th, and will not offer onsite registration. It’s not too late to sign up and upload proof of vaccination – but procrastinators (you know who you are) must register now. See here for details.

"In the Wave 33 survey, roughly 50% of respondents with senior living residences report that the pace of move-ins accelerated in the past 30-days—a notable increase from the prior survey. The shift was smaller for nursing care. Increased resident demand was the primary reason for acceleration in move-ins. Operators have suffered pandemic-related vacancies and myriad unplanned expenses and NOI has been pressured.
