Investing in the building and structure

What are the top three amenities you would want included in residential pricing?

This list was drawn from previous years’ surveys where Seniors and the Adult Caregivers shared what they wanted in a Senior Living community. 

This question reflects a value statement, as the choices are presented in the context of the price a resident would pay for Senior Housing. It could be presumed that these items, chosen by both the Seniors and the Adult Caregivers, have become table stakes for a Senior Housing offering.

It is worth noting that the top amenities that were selected by both the Seniors and the Adult Family Caregivers were services, not infrastructure within the facility itself. More data is needed to determine the level of infrastructure expectations that Seniors or Adult Family Caregivers have.

It is interesting to note that for Seniors and the Adult Family Caregivers, “Bar” is at thebottom of both lists.

NOTE: Senior and Adult Family Caregivers were asked to choose their top three amenities from the options which also included Fitness Program, Telehealth Room, Outdoor Game Space (croquet, pickle ball, etc.), Indoor Game Space (pool, pickle ball, etc.), Zoom room, Theater, Bar, Private Fitness Lessons, Salon, Pool and Walking Paths.

Being comfortable with wearables

In a Senior Housing setting, do you think you would be comfortable with a Wearable Monitoring System (e.g., watch) for constant monitoring of key vital signs and contact tracing if required?

Both Seniors and Adult Family Caregivers have warmed up to Wearable Monitoring Systems since 2020. This could have a huge impact on facility operations and how buildings function in the future.
