In today's world, senior living facilities are always searching for innovative ways to attract and retain residents. A crucial component that stands out is the inclusion of on-site fitness centers, professionally managed and tailored specifically to meet the needs of aging adults. Margaret Hoffman, a personal trainer with a master's degree specializing in senior fitness, shares her insights on the impact these facilities have both from a business perspective and on the residents' overall well-being.
The Return on Investment Attraction and Retention
Margaret believes that the return on investment for on-site fitness centers manifests in two significant ways: attracting new residents and retaining current ones. Time and again, residents have expressed how these facilities were a deciding factor in their choice of residence. Margaret says, "The residents are always sharing that information with me. They tell me all the time that they came here because there was a fitness center on-site or because it offered supervised sessions."
