Scroll Down
As in nearly every industry, Artificial intelligence (AI) is poised to transform the senior housing and skilled nursing real estate industry. AI-powered technologies can help operators improve residents' quality of care, reduce costs, increase operational efficiency, and make the right decisions regarding their investment strategy.
The senior population is increasing in the United States. By 2030, there will be an estimated 73.7 million Americans over 65, up from 52.3 million in 2018. This growth creates a significant demand for senior housing and skilled nursing care.
Artificial Intelligence in Senior Housing Investments
Here are some of the ways that AI is being used in senior housing and skilled nursing real estate investments:- Personalized care: AI can track residents' health data and provide customized care plans. This can help ensure that residents receive the care they need when needed. For example, AI can monitor residents' vital signs and alert staff of changes. AI can also remind residents to take their medications or participate in activities.
- Operational efficiency: AI can automate scheduling appointments, ordering supplies, and managing inventory. This can free up staff time to focus on providing care to residents. For example, AI can be used to develop algorithms to predict when residents need appointments or supplies. AI can also track inventory levels and automatically order new supplies when needed.
- Investment strategy: Real estate brokers increasingly use AI to find more suitable properties for their clients. AI can help brokers compile and compare information more efficiently, leading to better matches between buyers and sellers. For example, AI is used to determine the market value of a property, which can help sellers set a fair asking price. AI also identifies properties that meet a buyer's specific criteria, such as the desired location, size, and price range.
How To Use AI in Senior Housing Real Estate Investing
Sherman & Roylance uses artificial intelligence to design investment strategies in a multitude of ways:- Identifying undervalued properties: AI analyzes large amounts of data, such as property listings, market trends, and historical sales data. This data is used to identify properties that are undervalued or have the potential to appreciate in value.
- Automating property management tasks: AI is used to automate tasks such as scheduling maintenance appointments, managing resident leases, and collecting payments. This can free up time for administrators to focus on other tasks, such as marketing and leasing properties.
- Predicting rental rates: AI analyzes historical rental data and market trends to predict future rental rates. Operators use this information to set rental rates that are competitive and profitable.
- Managing risk: AI is used to assess the risk of a senior housing real estate investment. This can be done by analyzing factors such as the location of the senior housing facility, the resident or patient mix, and the overall economic conditions.
- Making investment decisions: AI can analyze all the available data and recommend commercial real estate investments. This can help investors to make more informed and profitable decisions.
- Proptech companies like VTS and Yardi use AI to automate property management tasks, such as scheduling maintenance appointments and collecting rent payments.
- Real estate investment firms like BlackRock and Blackstone use AI to identify undervalued properties and make investment decisions.
