'Overall, Seniors Housing makes an important and timely contribution to understanding the issues facing this niche market in the real estate industry. It presents a concise introduction to the main issues in seniors housing, and provides in-depth analyses of the demand, supply and business investment issues in the seniors housing industry. Some chapters present high-quality original research, while others lay out an agenda for future research on important issues facing the industry. I recommend Chapters 6 and 13, in particular, for their in-depth and scholarly analyses. This book exemplifies the use of research-based knowledge at the frontiers of industrial application.'
