Loneliness and isolation were health concerns for older adults before the pandemic and have become more so in the aftermath of the worst of the pandemic period partly due to restrictions and protocols that were put in place within seniors housing communities and health care facilities. A search for publications that mentioned “loneliness” or “isolation” and “older adult(s)” or “older people” produced a result of roughly 19,000 publications in 2013. This number climbed to more than 25,000 in 2019 and spiked to more than 40,000 and 45,000 publications in 2020 and 2021, respectively. While down to roughly 32,000 thus far in 2022 (as of December 15), the level of interest and concern remains elevated.

That question was explored during two educational sessions at the 2022 NIC Fall Conference, held September 14-16, in Washington, D.C. At the session, “Why Now is a Good Time to Invest in Senior Housing,” experts mapped out the positive case for investment today, along with some timely caveats.
