Here are a few major points that make SQLC a sound long-term investment.
A rapidly growing market: SQLC serves one of America’s fastest growing housing segments: retirement communities for upscale residents. Many seniors have substantial investment portfolios and little overall debt; they can transform this wealth into a new living environment. This growth trend should increase markedly as the baby boomers mature over the next 10 years.
A proven business model: The Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) model has been a proven success for more than 30 years. It has experienced substantial growth, irrespective of setbacks in certain niches of the senior-living sector. Due to the large scale of these projects, there are significant barriers to entry from market to market; consequently, the CCRC model has not generally been overbuilt, and existing projects tend to enjoy strong occupancy rates.
SQLC’s winning proposition for seniors: We offer an extraordinarily active retirement lifestyle, with unique Life Care services. Therefore, we can provide for our residents’ needs—from independent living to assisted living to skilled nursing—for the rest of their lives.
Our business structure—as a not-for-profit and as a lean, locally focused organization---give us powerful competitive advantages. The energy behind that strength comes from a select group of strategic partners who have helped build our track record of success.
