Justine Elshire, Managing Director of Lument Real Estate Capital Holdings, a leading investment and mortgage banking firm focused on the senior living market joins Senior Housing Unfiltered. Today we discuss the salient information behind a 275 billion investment gap in senior living development across the country by 2030 and  $1 trillion investment shortage in senior living development expected in 2040.

We are running out of senior housing by 2030 to meet the demand in older adults in the next five years, according to recent data. Shifting demographics present the senior housing industry with a challenge of historic proportions of low inventory not meeting the demand that is coming. 

The challenge is compounded by record low pace of construction starts with the pace sitting at one fourth of the pace needed. Justin shares how the senior housing market presents a prime investment opportunity. The demand is high and the current supply insufficient, making it an ideal time for investment in this sector. Listen today as we unpack why the greatest opportunity of a lifetime is here!

Value-based care may sound straightforward, but the reality is far more intricate than it seems. On Senior Housing Unfiltered, we delve into the nuances of this concept. In our recent episode, we uncovered some essential truths:

• Quality takes precedence over quantity in value-based care, where outcomes dictate financial gains.
• Embracing value-based care enables us to focus on what truly matters - our residents' well-being and guiding them towards better health.
• By emphasizing value, we move away from treating residents as mere tasks and instead prioritize their holistic care. Moreover, the key takeaway is that improved resident outcomes result in enhanced occupancy rates, longer tenures, and increased financial prospects for senior housing communities. Data plays a pivotal role in steering us towards healthier residents. 
• Meaningful data enables us to identify at-risk individuals and deliver proactive care efficiently.
• Leveraging the right data allows us to shift our focus from treating sickness to promoting wellness.
• Collaborating with reliable partners equips us with smart technology that seamlessly integrates with our processes,  highlighting clinical documentation gaps and care plans promptly.

Seniors require more than group activities and events, no matter how elaborate or inclusive they may be. They require the social connectedness that the traditional life enrichment programs strive for, but often fall short of providing due to a lack of resources. 

The benefits of social connectedness are plentiful. As mentioned in the US Surgeon General’s 2023 study on social isolation, aside from reducing loneliness and isolation risks, social connectedness, or experiencing a sense of meaningfulness, increases the odds of survival by 50%.

Learn how and why we are helping operators and clinicians identify and respond to resident loneliness risks by facilitating social connectedness - one visit at a time.
