236. The Assisted Living Opportunity with Marcus Hodges

In this episode I speak with Marcus Hodges of Birch Grove.  We discuss the evolving landscape of assisted living, the importance of reliable business models, and the personal journey that led Marcus to his current role. We explore the challenges and opportunities in the real estate sector, particularly in student accommodation and co-living spaces, while reflecting on the lessons learned from their respective careers. Marcus shares his journey to Birch Grove, a senior living community, emphasising the importance of clarity in career choices and the vibrant, supportive environment they create for residents.

We discuss the unique business model of Birch Grove, which combines both development and acquisition of properties, and highlights the significance of community and emotional support for seniors. The conversation also touches on the challenges of assisted living, the comparison of living options for seniors, and the ambitious future plans for Birch Grove to expand across the UK.
