Executive Survey Insights Recap and Future NIC Surveys

By: Ryan Brooks  |  August 15, 2023

NIC launched its Executive Survey Insights (ESI) series in March 2020 to provide timely insights on key property operational metrics within the senior housing and skilled nursing sectors during a critical time. Since this survey series was launched, more than 50 waves of the survey captured the property market’s performance through numerous challenges – COVID-19, labor deficiencies, supply shortages, threats of a looming recession, inflation, and rising expenses.

Executive Survey Insights | May 2023

By: Ryan Brooks  |  June 13, 2023

“A new series of questions in the May 2023 survey, suggested by April 2023 ESI survey participants, asked about the utilization of third-party referral aggregators. Of respondents who are currently using third-party aggregators, almost two-thirds (64%) successfully convert less than 25% of the third-party generated leads.

Executive Survey Insights | April 1 to April 30, 2023

“When aggregated across all care segments, one-half of responding operators (52%) report an acceleration in the pace of move-ins in April 2023. This marks the highest level of operators reporting an acceleration since April 2022, when 54% of organizations reported the pace of move-ins to be accelerating. However, this is still below the peaks experienced from April to July 2021, when approximately 60% of operators reported an acceleration in the pace of move-ins. The higher cost of debt is having an influence on organizations’ development pipeline. More than one-half of independent living operators (57%) report the higher cost of debt is having a significant impact to their development pipeline, followed by one-half of memory care (50%) and assisted living (49%) operators. Just under one-third of nursing care operators (29%) report the higher cost of debt having a significant impact on their development pipeline.”
