Post-Acute 2025
Description
Market At-A-Glance
The post-acute market is projected to reach $252.1 billion in 2025, a 3% increase from $243.4 billion in 2024. Market growth is driven by an aging population with a greater demand for care, technological advancements, and evolving care models.
Occupancy rates have grown for skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs), assisted living facilities, and memory care facilities since 2021. Assisted living facilities emerged as the only post-acute segment to exceed pre-pandemic occupancy levels in 2024. Providers maintain a positive outlook on overall post-acute occupancy growth in 2025.
