The seniors housing resident profile has changed since the industry’s early days in the 1990s.

Americans are staying healthier for longer, so it’s not surprising that the industry has observed a gradual increase in a resident’s average age as many are now choosing to enter seniors housing well into their 80s. According to a 2013 study conducted by American Seniors Housing Association and ProMatura Group of 6,858 IL rental customers, only 6% of IL rental customers were under the age of 75.
