Sessions

As senior housing demand grows and affordability pressures mount, small-house and residential care models are gaining traction as scalable, person-centered solutions to expand capacity and modernize the care experience. This session examines how operators like Sage Oak, Assured Senior Living, Wellpointe, and others are redefining what residential care can look like, blending the intimacy of home with the professionalism of licensed care.

Through real-world examples, panelists will share how these models tackle the sector’s toughest barriers: staffing, affordability, limited financing options, and the perception that “small houses” can’t scale. Learn the economics, consumer appeal, and innovative financing dynamics behind these models, and what it will take to bring them fully into the mainstream.
