“The problem comes down to a failure of supply to keep up with demand. By 2026, more than 2.4 million Canadians aged 65 and older will need the “supportive care” offered by retirement homes, including monitoring of medication, regular housekeeping, meal preparation and other services. As more baby boomers turn 65, the number requiring such care is expected to reach ‘a staggering’ 3.3 million by 2046….”
—Noami Powell, regarding a DBRS study reporting for Thefinancialpost.com: A looming housing affordability crisis is poised to hit seniors across Canada, May 14, 2018.

Demand for Senior Housing: The Growing Senior Population
