PHILADELPHIA — Operators in the seniors housing industry have long been awaiting the incoming demographic wave of baby boomers reaching retirement age. Every day in the U.S., 10,000 people turn 65, and the number of older adults will more than double over the next several decades to top 88 million people and represent over 20 percent of the population by 2050. The oldest boomers are now 76. But this wave of customers will have very different desires than existing seniors housing residents, according to Tod Petty, chief operations officer at Lloyd Jones Senior Living. “We know demographics and psychographics are rapidly changing. Think of the success of The Villages [a famous retirement community in Florida]. They’re drawn to live their best life. It is the last hurrah for many people to be relevant.” Petty’s comments came during a panel titled “The Development Outlook: Experts Analyze the Smartest Plays for Developers in 2022” during France Media’s InterFace Seniors Housing Northeast conference. The event was held in Philadelphia on Dec. 2. Petty moderated the panel, which also included Stephen Bailey, senior vice president of new business development, Kendal Corp.; Michael Gordon, senior vice president of acquisitions and development, EPOCH Senior Living; Scott …
