2019 Senior Housing Trends According to The Senior List, a senior lifestyle website, there are nine trends we can expect to see in assisted living through the rest of the year. - More and more people will decide to age in place. Facilities that allow people to access the entire continuum of care will continue to be popular. - Memory care will step back in time. Facilities will use the sights, sounds and smells of the past to immerse residents as part of their therapy. - Residents will have more access to technology. - Expect to see automation in more residences. This includes administrative functions as well as tracking clinical data. - Co-housing will gain more traction. Co-housing offers seniors communal living while giving them individual spaces. - Facilities will go green. This will become more popular because it helps the environment and often reduces costs. - More social activities will be offered. Expect to see everything from group outings to museums to book clubs. - The demand for qualified health professionals will increase. - Living spaces will gain more amenities. More apartments will have features like walk-in closets and full kitchenettes.
