Aegis Senior Living is on track for further growth in 2025, with improved margins and stable census numbers. CEO Dwayne Clark notes that the operator’s operating margin is currently at 30% and occupancy remains strong. Despite rising costs, the organization is focused on maintaining both occupancy and margins without making concessions.
Clark emphasizes the importance of bringing in talent from outside industries to drive innovation and development within the senior living sector. The company’s recent additions from companies like Amazon and Nike bring a fresh perspective to the table.
Looking ahead, Clark acknowledges that future growth is dependent on interest rate relief, and the company is exploring new avenues for leadership development, including the potential benefits of artificial intelligence and offshoring certain operations.
With a focus on staffing and data analysis, Aegis is gearing up for a successful 2025 with a sense of urgency to drive continuous improvement and innovation within the organization.
