A webinar on “Senior citizen living community - positives in today’s pandemic scenario,” will take place on July 18, from 11.30 a.m., under the aegis of Ashiana Housing Ltd and The Hindu PropertyPlus .

It will have the following eminent panellists: Dr. U. Gauthamdas, geriatric neuro-psychiatrist; Harish Nair, executive director and head of consulting, India CBRE; Prashant Thakur, director and head of research, ANAROCK Property Consultants; and Ankur Gupta, joint managing director, Ashiana Housing Ltd and chairman of the Association of Senior Living India (ASLI).

The webinar will touch upon the following key points: The spurt in demand for retirement homes as the lockdown spiked fears of living alone and without aid at hand; is it a sustained spurt or only pandemic-related, the scale and the extent of development of India’s senior living market; how it compares with the senior living market in a country like the U.S., for example, the main characteristics of the facilities available today and how they split up between independent, assisted facilities; the main challenges for the realty market in creating senior living communities; how much more a developer has to invest in a senior living project; and what the return on investment (RoI) period and percentage are.

Other aspects such as mixed communities within existing gated complexes, some independent homes and some senior living homes - the way to go forward; South India having a far more developed senior living market than the North and the reasons; and what senior living real estate looks like from an investment point of view. The webinar will also touch upon the emotional well-being of “senior citizen living”.
