		<description><![CDATA[In case you haven’t been keeping up, 90 is the new 80 or more precisely, 90 is the new 85. A recent report from the US Census Bureau (I know what you are thinking—why doesn’t she ever reference Canadian data in her posts? Because there isn’t any is the short answer to that question.) points [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I know I do go on about the US market, but I find it endlessly fascinating. Of course that’s partly because there is so much data on the US market. We have so little data in Canada that it is usually quite difficult to figure out what’s going on.

		<description><![CDATA[To most people in the field “institutional long term care” is a redundancy. If it’s long term care, it’s institutional. 
But a movement in the US, called the Green House Project, is aiming to change all that. And it’s not green as in sustainability, it’s green as in grass, plants, gardens, the outdoors.

That’s up modestly year-over-year although well below pre-recession levels. But it’s way below the peak of 1998, when an astonishing 57,800 similar units were under construction.

Primary market areas (PMAs) are considered to be those areas from which 75-80% of the residents of a project will come.
