Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today there are 77 million Baby Boomers living in the U.S., meaning, 10,000 people will be turning 65 years old every day. Currently, most Boomers aren’t in assisted living … yet. However, they will be moving into senior housing in droves over the next couple of decades. Add to this the increasing numbers of Boomer’s parents already making this transition. With limited resources available at this time, planning for assisted living can be overwhelming for those who are making difficult choices for their loved ones (or themselves). These choices have only been complicated and made more urgent by the Covid 19 pandemic. Contrary to popular belief, retirement homes are not the only option for our population’s aging members anymore. Adult Family Homes designed to allow senior citizens to live mostly independently with access to a variety of amenities, provide an alternative for individuals or couples who can no longer safely live on their own but don’t want to relegate themselves to assisted living facilities. Investment in this innovative category of senior living is a relatively new opportunity that many are not aware of. This book will give you the tools to decide if this could be a right fit for you and your family. You will learn: What is happening in the senior care industry today, and what the options are How smaller senior care homes are becoming ever-popular in the wave of COVID19 How to invest in a senior care home How to convert your home or property into a senior care home How to protect the wealth of your family and honor Mom and Dad Designed as a practical guide through the complex world of senior living, here is the advice and guidance to help you make decisions that honor the elderly, protect family resources, and provide an investment opportunity in today’s fast growing segment of the real estate market.

Download or read book Senior Residences written by John E. Harrigan and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 1998-04-02 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive framework for capitalizing on the growing market for Continuing Care Retirement Communities. Senior Residences equips architects and other industry professionals with a proven executive strategy for the design and development of successful Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) projects. Using two of America's foremost CCRCs as best practice case studies, it guides readers through every critical aspect of the process, from research and planning through construction, including: * The enterprise concept * Formation of an executive organization * Financial and legal due diligence * Marketing and sales preparation * Residents' expectations and requirements * Healthcare and residential services * The design and build process * Project monitoring and assessment The over-65 population is increasing rapidly and dramatically, raising crucial concerns about the housing and care of senior citizens in the years ahead. How can we provide the best possible quality of care to the elderly? How can architects, developers, and others capitalize on the growing senior housing industry and stay competitive in the future? How can the facilities they create deliver both good service and strong financial returns? While there are no easy answers to these important questions, the Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) model has emerged as a flexible and attractive option for providing combined housing, services, and nursing care to the elderly. Senior Residences equips architects and other industry professionals with a comprehensive, three-part strategic framework for designing and developing successful CCRC projects. Part I identifies the eight critical success factors of a CCRC enterprise and illustrates them through an in-depth examination of two exemplary developments, The Cypress of South Carolina's Hilton Head Island and The Stratford in the San Francisco Peninsula. Part II details a computer-based "standard of performance" system to track progress and assess project performance. Finally, Part III examines how to use different types of research to stay on top of market trends and forecasts, legal and licensing requirements, and more. Together, the three elements of this executive strategy cover every aspect of the development process, from the initial enterprise concept and executive organization building to financial and legal due diligence, marketing and sales, residents' services and healthcare, and design and build. Readers gain essential guidance in tackling key project management issues as well as in developing effective problem-solving and troubleshooting skills. Written by an author team with extensive CCRC experience, Senior Residences helps encourage avenues of thought that will lead to more cohesive, responsive, and successful CCRC projects that benefit the professionals who build them and the residents who live in them.
