Innovating A New Senior Housing Model

Vertical REI

Our Senior Care Model

Vertical Real Estate Investment created a senior care division to develop, own, and operate attainable, age-restricted, independent living communities with services in the Southeastern real estate marketplace.

Through our partnerships with some of the top senior care operators in the United States, we’re working to bridge the gap between government sponsored communities and high-end private pay models, providing a quality community for retirees while increasing the average potential returns for our equity investors.

Concerns

Senior Housing Statistics

With the aging of the baby boom generation, the population of middle-income seniors will likely hit 14.4 million people by 2029. It is believed that 56% of them will not be able to afford private-pay senior housing at today’s market rates.*

Our Model Targets
