The senior living industry in 2026 faces a fast-changing, complex environment shaped by aging populations, new technologies, and economic challenges. According to U.S. Census Bureau projections, the number of people aged 80 and older worldwide is expected to grow by more than 55% by 2035. Thus, it creates a strong demand for senior housing and care. This benefits current operators but also brings tougher operational and risk management challenges.

Innovative risk management strategies emerge as critical tools to sustain resilience and financial health. This report provides an updated overview of key areas to help senior living operators anticipate and address current and future trends, including:

  1. Property insurance
  2. Employee health and benefits
  3. Cyber liability risks
