Let’s Hear from the LeadersSenior Living Trends March 6, 2014
AGENDA • Welcome • Occupancy / Rate Trends • Construction Activity • Transaction Activity • Trends in Acuity • Regulatory Trends • Impact of the Internet • Technology March 6, 2014
Assisted Living occupancy strengthened in 2013 March 6, 2014 Note: Represents majority AL and MC, excludes IL and SNF
Annual rent growth slows slightly in late 2013 March 6, 2014 Note: Represents majority AL and MC, excludes IL and SNF Source: NIC MAP Data and Analysis Services
Construction pace slows as completions outpace starts and inventory increases March 6, 2014
Public buyers, generally REITs, continue to be the most active buyers, however the private sector regained momentum after a lull in 2011 March 6, 2014
Trends in Acuity • Average age of our residents is 88, compared to 82 ten years ago • 53% of our residents are on a care package which means they need assistance with Activities of Daily Living • Today’s residents move-in with 3-5 ADL needs, where previously residents moved in for socialization • 65% of our residents are receiving assistance with medications • 72% of our residents take 3 or more medications, this number has more than doubled since 2010 • In 2013, 43% of our residents moved out due to death • Move-outs due to death in <1 year length of stay has increased 54% • The Top 5 diagnosis for our resident population are: Hypertension, Dementia, Depression, Congestive Heart Failure, Diabetes March 6, 2014
Regulatory Trends • Do current State Regulations Support Caring For Frail Residents? • Basic assisted living, or create a second tier for providers who can offer “enhanced” services? • Skilled nursing services within assisted living? • Alzheimer’s Care: Training requirements, Safety precautions (such as “Silver Alerts”), Specialized Programs, Research Funding • Prevention of Elder Abuse and Financial Exploitation: increasing emphasis on mandated reporting, prosecution • Increased Consumer Disclosure requirements to clarify and manage expectations • Medicaid & Assisted Living: Recent CMS regulation clarifies AL’s role in the Home & Community Based Waiver program • Review of Life Safety Code issues March 6, 2014
Impact of the Internet on Senior Living • 60% of our leads come through the internet, both directly from our website and through paid internet sources (A Place for Mom, SeniorLiving.Net, Caring.com) • Leads are coming to us much more educated from doing research online. • Paid internet lead sources provide qualified leads to communities but there are numerous drawbacks • Very costly – 70%-100% of one month’s rent/care - with residents coming in more frail and with shorter lengths of stay we are paying more and getting less. • Internet sources pass along information to numerous communities • Leads don’t always understand what is going to happen when they fill out a form and it can be a very overwhelming and frustrating experience and often makes the process more confusing • Social Media is becoming a player in the marketing of senior living • Facebook enhances the customer experience for residents and family members, engages associates and captures the true essence of a community for prospective residents and their families • Online review sites are impacting the research and decision making process March 6, 2014
