NAHMA Presents: The Business Case for
Retroﬁtting to Service Enrich Your Senior Housing
Baby Boomers are rapidly turning “senior” in large numbers.
Providing affordable housing and healthcare for this aging
population will be two of the most important public policy
challenges faced in the coming years. The solutions need not be
mutually exclusive, however; in fact, studies show that providing
service-enriched housing to seniors and enabling them to “age in
place” in quality, supportive and affordable rental housing provides
massive savings to Medicare and Medicaid, and, moreover, that
retrofitting existing senior housing can make good business sense.

best practices for engaging employees and boosting performance.
