Ziegler CFO Hotline Report: 2026 Resident Fees

In August, the Ziegler CFO Hotline℠ survey was devoted to the topic of Resident Fees. This annual survey provides senior living organizations with benchmarking data to support budgeting and pricing decisions and offers insight into how resident fees continue to evolve across the sector. This year’s survey expands upon previous years by taking a closer look at the factors influencing both entrance fee and monthly service fee adjustments, as well as contract structures and refundable entrance fee options. The report also provides historical comparisons of fee modifications and examines differences by geography and organization type.
