As a "senior" or "almost senior" (depending on who you deal with), the last place a "senior" wants to live is a "seniors'" home. For as long as possible, hopefully til I die, I want to live in an active community with a stimulating mix of people of all ages, interests and backgrounds. Some seniors can't or don't want to handle a single family house, so would rent or buy a condo.
Us baby boomers are entering our senior years, so the trend would be good for your idea. If you read Harry Dent's stuff, there are three waves of baby boomers, the biggest wave being the 3rd one, in their early 50s now.
I'd research how popular 55+ communities are. I may not be a typical "almost senior" in that I kind of like hearing the 2 year old on my floor in my rental building talking and laughing by the elevator near my door. I like a mix of people of all ages and backgrounds around me.
Because I'm over 60, the good old Royal Bank gives me $7.50 off their monthly service charges for my chequing account. Isn't that nice of them? (lol)
Hope this ramble helps,
