The Changing Seniors Housing Customer
Older Americans are living more active, health-conscious lifestyles. Research indicates that lifestyle is becoming increasingly

future senior living residents and their families expect? How important will these factors be to attract seniors to independent
living and assisted living communities?
This session will explore the results of recent research including the ASHA Next Generation Survey and the implications
for marketing and development of IL and AL communities in order to respond to the changing needs and desires of the seniors
housing customer. Three seniors housing operator/developers will share their perspectives on how our communities and operations

Alignment of Interests in a Year of "Big Deals": The Marriage of Capital & Operations
Successful relationships depend upon a solid alignment of interests. Learn how significant 2011 deals, Health Care REIT’s
RIDEA joint venture with Silverado, and CNL’s acquisition of a large portfolio of Sunrise-managed assets, came together
by building relationships that sought to balance goals of both parties to ensure a win-win outcome. Representatives will
discuss how the deals came together and which key negotiation points led to a solid alignment. Attendees will gain a better
