10. Quality Senior Living is in Short Supply
Across the U.S., the number of adults age 65 and older is skyrocketing. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, by 2030, all baby boomers will be age 65 or older, meaning one in every five Americans will have reached retirement age. Yet despite this growth, the availability of high-quality senior living options hasn’t kept pace.
According to the National Investment Center for Seniors Housing & Care, senior housing occupancy hit a record 85.6% in late 2024, the highest level ever recorded since tracking began in 2005. At the same time, new development has slowed, growing by only 1.4% year over year.
With an average occupancy rate of over 95%, homes at Friendship Village of Dublin don’t stay available for long. Many current Residents say they’re glad they joined our Waiting List, which helped them avoid a rushed decision and choose the home that was right for them.
