The average projected monthly revenue from one assisted living unit in the U.S. in 2024 is approximately $5,000 per month.(1) That means even ONE vacant assisted living unit could mean a loss of $60,000 annually for your community.

Multiply that by 10 to 20 vacant units, and you’re looking at losing between $600,000 to $1,200,000 or more per year in revenue, not including any Level of Care charges.

Your net senior living unit move-ins each month are the critical number for your community to track, if you are losing money on vacant units. In particular, the assisted living industry has high turnover in units. Currently, the median annual turnover is approximately 47% for assisted living units.(2)

The chart above summarizes some of our incredible successes with our senior living clients over the years. The Roche Associates have often been able to achieve net move-ins at up to double the national average rates for independent living and assisted living.

This chart illustrates the averages achieved for our clients compared to national averages, which are shown in the first two bars to the far left. Our clients’ results for net move-ins for assisted living are shown in blue in the sets of bars to the right. Independent Living net move-ins for our clients are shown in red in the sets of bars to the right.
