U.S. Assisted Living Facility Market Worth $140.8 Billion By 2030

U.S. Assisted Living Facility Market Growth & Trends

The U.S. assisted living facility market size is expected to reach USD 140.8 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. It is expected to expand at a CAGR of 5.53% from 2023 to 2030. The launch of new assisted living facilities, growing prevalence of chronic diseases, and technological developments are expected to boost the market growth during the forecast period.

The prevalence of chronic diseases is increasing at a significant pace. Along with general age-related disabilities, the elderly suffer from chronic diseases such as cancers, heart problems, diabetes, cerebral palsy, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, dementia, Alzheimer’s, and mental stress. Hospitalization for chronic conditions can be expensive and often involves unnecessary use of resources, which can otherwise be utilized for patients in critical conditions. ALFs can provide specialized care required by the elderly. Increasing demand for these facilities to accommodate new admissions each year is expected to propel market growth.

A number of the facilities became hotspots for transmission of the novel coronavirus; 42% of the total COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. were ALF residents. To cope with the situation, in March 2020, CMS released guidelines for nursing homes and ALFs to help curb the spread of the COVID-19. These measures include prohibitions on visitors and nonessential staff, daily monitoring for symptoms, screening employees, implementing infection control & cleaning protocols, ensuring social distancing, hiring & training additional employees, adjusting activities, and paying bonuses & overtime. The majority of these facilities were not allowed to accept new residents, and therefore, had no new revenue streams for the additional expenses associated with the COVID-19 virus, which is hampering the market.
