Middle Market Solutions Emerge for Senior Living Owners

by Kristin Harlow October 14, 2025

When Stealers Wheel lamented being “stuck in the middle with you” in their 1972 song of the same name, they were assuredly not intending to sing from the perspective of a senior searching for a place of residence. Nevertheless, the lyric could today very aptly be applied to the predicament that many potential seniors housing residents face. According to the National Investment Center for Seniors Housing & Care (NIC), the number of middle-income seniors in the United States is projected to almost double by 2029, totaling roughly 14 million seniors.

NIC defines middle-income seniors as those with $25,001 to $74,298 in annual income and assets in its executive summary on the topic of the “forgotten middle,” which was published in 2019. At the same time, many of these same seniors do not qualify for residence in affordable housing units. “These are older adults — lots of older adults — who don’t qualify for affordable housing but also can’t afford the cost of many private-pay options,” explains John Cochrane, president and CEO of HumanGood, a nonprofit …

Optimism for lower interest rates and pro-growth policies understandably accompanied the arrival of the second Trump administration. Local factors, such as the peaking of the wave of new supply and the ever-steady flow of jobs and people into the metroplex, augmented that sentiment such that many multifamily lenders and investors entered 2025 with considerably more ebullience following a couple of rough years in 2023 and 2024. “Coming out of the gates, things felt pretty good, but a lot of this year’s volatility was based on [interest] rate movement, which was primarily based on geopolitical issues,” says Drew Kile, executive managing director of investments at Institutional Property Advisors (IPA), a division of Marcus & Millichap. “Had rates come down methodically more like the last two months, there would have been less of an impact. It’s hard for buyers to make decisions when rates are whipsawing …
