Broker Q&A: Not All is Lost

The pandemic that took on the world and threw the U.S. economy into disarray hit seniors housing hard. Housing an age group that’s particularly susceptible to the virus has proven to be an extreme challenge.

While this recession is distinctly different, many expect seniors housing to fare well again.
