Senior Housing Investors: Recent Episodes
Haven Senior Investments
Bringing you the innovators, investors, and leaders across the full spectrum of assisted living and senior housing, all of whom provide for the betterment of our senior population.
Capital is ready, but the map is hazy. We dive straight into the policy and rates fog shaping real estate strategy and explain why non-financial risks—immigration rules, housing constraints, and trade policy—now sit beside cost of capital as core investment variables. Our conversation zeroes in on how top operators are splitting into three distinct camps: defensive “heavy fog,” patient “patchy fog,” and opportunistic “clearing fog,” each with a different bet on rates, liquidity, and timing.
From there, we track where capital is actually flowing. Data centers lead for the third year running as AI training and inference strain grids and timelines, shifting the bottleneck from money to megawatts and interconnections. Senior housing emerges as human infrastructure, with the oldest boomers turning 80 in 2026, supply at historic lows, and occupancy poised to break 90%. Self-storage cements its rise to a fifth major property type, evolving into climate-controlled utility space and storage condos that blend personal and small business demand. We also unpack a more nuanced picture of the traditional sectors: office bifurcation with trophy stability and legacy distress, medical office as a demographic-backed bright spot, multifamily’s tilt to workforce and single-family rentals, and industrial’s new constraints around costs and power availability.
Demographics tie it together. With 83% of recent U.S. population gains driven by net migration and 30% of construction workers foreign-born, immigration policy becomes a first-order driver of GDP, labor supply, and housing delivery. Add a climate-driven “snowbelt reversal” among under-30s and 60–69-year-olds, and market planning looks very different from the last cycle. We then shift to the operational frontier: agentic AI and property operating systems using digital twins to create “self-driving buildings,” cutting lead-to-lease times, boosting conversion rates, and centralizing portfolio management even as on-site tech decentralizes. The strategy takeaway is simple and hard: micro beats macro. Think grid nodes, submarkets, and operators with measurable efficiency. Our market watch spans Dallas–Fort Worth at the top, Jersey City’s cost-and-proximity edge, Brooklyn’s creative office nodes, and Calgary’s pivot paired with Canada’s purpose-built rental surge.
If you found value, follow the show, share it with a colleague, and leave a quick review. It helps more investors navigate the fog with clarity.
We lay out why seniors housing enters late 2025 with strong tailwinds: a surge in 80-plus demand meets a decade‑low construction pipeline, pushing occupancy and competition higher. We break down the “haves vs have‑nots,” the return of GSE lending, HUD’s faster lane, and the headwinds that could reshape returns.
• demographic surge in the 80-plus cohort driving needs-based demand
• decade-low construction pipeline and supply lag through 2026
• occupancy rebound, strong net absorption, and rent growth
• performance gap between modern, well-operated “haves” and older “have-nots”
• bidding wars, compressed cap rates, and seller leverage
• improved debt markets with Fannie, Freddie, and HUD Lean Express Lane
• role of bridge and preferred equity in value-add execution
• case studies on distressed demand and leasehold value
• affordability pressures, policy risk around Medicaid shifts, and capex needs
• labor normalization with structurally higher wages and margin impacts
• strategies: scale, operator quality, value-add, and policy vigilance

We had the pleasure to sit down with Brandon Schwab, the owner and founder of Shepherd Premier Senior Living. His vision is to improve the senior living industry forever by providing a better way of delivering quality care that is resident-focused, not bottom line-focused. Some would call him a disruptor and others would call him a visionary. He prefers to be thought of as a passionate businessman that recognized a problem and wholeheartedly pursued the solution.
He quickly realized that this was his purpose in life. Everything else he's done left him empty or always seeking more but in reality, it prepared him for Shepherd Premier Senior Living & the boutique senior living niche industry. Caregiver to resident ratios of 1:15-20 as the national average is unacceptable. Brandon believes it needs to be changed. His boutique senior living model aims to provide 1 caregiver to every 5-8 residents. The better caregiver ratio directly equates to better care provided to residents.
Join us for this informative review of a senior housing model that is spreading across the country.
Today we present you a unique story that could transform the assisted living industry. Our story begins with Elderfire Lodges founder, Tom Hofmeister, witnessing his father's personal journey with Alzheimer's. With this first-hand experience, Tom quickly became aware of the shortcomings of the adult care industry. Statistics show that 85% of people who would benefit from residing in an assisted living community don’t want to. Tom’s thought was, “Maybe someone needs to step up and fix that!” So, he put together an experienced team, who ultimately posed two questions:
****What if we created an environment that people will be proud to call home; a place their families and the community are excited about visiting and eager to join residents for community events?
What if we created an assisted living culture where residents are respected and celebrated as accomplishers who are worthy to pass along wisdom and share their knowledge and talents with this generation?**
Tom's team stepped up! Tune in to listen to this lively and informative conversation.

Haven Senior investments is blessed to be joined by David Lewis, CEO of Rocky Mountain Assisted Living located in Denver, Colorado. With decades of experience in the home care field, David moved to Colorado from Southern California in 2007 and recognized the need for a different senior care model in the Denver area. David determined the small home-like setting was the next best thing for seniors needing 24-hour care, outside a nursing home or medical facility. This is when Rocky Mountain Assisted Living was created—a community of 16-32 bed residential-style care homes that offer services and amenities found in much larger corporate companies, but provided by a family-owned and operated business, cutting out constant management turnover and lack of personal connection. By the end of 2021, Rocky Mountain Assisted Living will have 200 beds in its portfolio. Listen in on this wonderful interview.
