“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.

Why Invest in Senior Living Now?
Demand for Senior Housing: The Growing Senior Population
Levante Management anticipates sustained growth in senior living due to the increasing aging population. According to preliminary estimates by Statistics Canada, 18% of Canada’s population were aged 65 and older on July 1, 20201, compared with 14.4% on July 1, 2011.2 ”Canada’s population estimates: Age and sex, July 1, 2020″1 Statistics Canada.

The Rise of the Boomer Population
In a 2015 report published by the Conference Board of Canada, their base-case projection suggested (assuming existing patterns of use) that in just over a decade, the number of seniors living in a senior living facility will grow to over 610,000 and by 2046, this will increase further to reach nearly 821,000 seniors.3 ”Future Care for Canadian Seniors: A Status Quo Forecast”3 The Conference Board of Canada.
