Consistent with the last several years, the 2023 LZ 200 listing shows that not-for-profit senior living providers have grown primarily through community expansions from existing campuses as well as affiliation and acquisition activity. Nearly 30 percent of the total number of units for all senior living systems in the LZ 200 are represented by the 10 largest providers.
The 10 largest not-for-profit multi-site senior living organizations include:
The LZ 200 also showed that in the last 10 years, the average annual growth rate in total units since 2000 is 2.2 percent, with independent living and assisted living units growing each year, but declining in the number of nursing care beds.
“Each year the LeadingAge Ziegler 200 demonstrates the significant role that LeadingAge’s member organizations play in the aging services sector.

“My three kids absolutely love their capes. My girls were excited to be sidekicks for their brother, Jacob, and be able to fill their capes [with patches] together while we go through our rough journey.” – Kalia S.
The program’s pay-it-forward business model ensures every child nominated for a cape receives one. When a TinySuperhero or sidekick is nominated, a personalized crowdfunding campaign is created to raise $50 for the cape. Any money raised over that helps other TinySuperheroes get a cape. Rosenberger says about 30% of people will raise funds but secure enough to support 100% of the overall “Squad.” Even if funds are not raised, TinySuperhero is committed to making sure each child still receives their cape.
Kids undergoing liver transplants or living with rare genetic disorders are examples of the growing community served by the program. Receiving their capes is just the beginning. Kids can unlock their superpowers and complete missions to earn a free Mission Kit with a monthly patch to put on the cape as an incentive.
“While every TinySuperheroes member is unique, what unifies them is their desire to don their cape at doctor’s visits, hospital stays, and chemo treatments to lift their spirits and become courageous heroes with extraordinary powers!” said Rosenberger.
Families voice the same enthusiasm when sharing how impactful this small gesture can be in the lives of their young children. “Super Cooper got his TinySuperheroes cape! We’re so excited he has a physical representation to show the world 啒what we see on a daily basis.”
To nominate a child with an illness or disability who is a true champion of courage and resilience, visit http://www.tinysuperheroes.com and fill out the nomination form.
About Tiny Superheroes:
TinySuperheroes starts with a cape, but the journey continues. We’re growing a community that lifts each other and makes every TinySuperhero in the world feel strong, able, and proud of the qualities that make them Extraordinary.

Canada’s federal definition of NetZero and the means to get there includes tree planting, offsets and technological solutions; Alberta’s premier Danielle Smith clearly states Alberta is moving away from emissions through technological innovation, not away from producing oil and gas.
As Robert Lyman, energy economist, has written in “When Giants Arise,” global oil demand will continue to rise as emerging nations strive for the level of living standards of the West. Oil demand has largely flatlined in nations of The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), but Europe and North America make up only 15% of the world’s population. Lyman’s most recent report, “Let’s Not Pursue “Peak Oil” – The Risks to Society of a Global Oil Shortfall Due to Climate Fear” addresses another popular topic at the World Petroleum Congress. Failure to invest in oil/gas development by Western nations will lead to an energy shortage, says Lyman in his report, with extremely dire consequences for humankind.
Meanwhile, Minister Wilkinson’s claim that “At the end of the day, the cause of climate change is carbon emissions associated with the production and the combustion of fossil fuels…” is disputed by thousands of scientists, like the 1700 signatories of the CLINTEL Climate Intelligence network, based in The Netherlands. CLINTEL’s position, outlined in the World Climate Declaration, is that there is no climate emergency, we do have time, and Mother Nature’s influence is more predominant and elusive than that of human industrial emissions.
As reported in the Epoch Times, Sept. 9, 2023, recent CLINTEL signatory, John F. Clauser, 2022 Nobel prize winner in physics, states that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) computer models, used to project future climates, are unable to properly model the effect of clouds on climate. This renders moot the often-apocalyptic projections of future warming.
At the World Petroleum Congress, in a Global News interview, Calgary’s Mayor Jyoti Gondek stated that “…I think we’re at a point in time where climate denialism is not a thing. It’s obvious to anyone who has ever stepped outside that we have an issue.”
Mayor Gondek declared a climate emergency after taking office and Calgary council authorized an $87 billion dollar climate change plan, one which spends more money than climate mitigation measures would save… 80 years from now, as explained by Friends of Science Society president Ron Davison.
Friends of Science Society says conflating extreme weather events or wildfire smoke is a common error made by climate activists, pollsters and the media. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), climate is measured by statistical data over periods of decades. Extreme weather events and wildfires are not attributed to human causation or carbon dioxide by the IPCC.
Climate apocalypse makes for good headlines as reported by the National Observer, CBC, and the Globe and Mail on Sept. 13, 2023. The stories claimed ‘7 out of 10 Canadians are very worried about climate change’ citing a Leger/Canadian Press opinion poll. A closer look at the poll responses reveals that actually 93% of those polled are very worried about the economy and related factors. Only 7% of those polled are concerned about climate change, as discussed in this video explainer by Friends of Science Society. The poll questions also incorrectly conflate extreme weather and wildfire with climate change.
Long-time climate policy analyst Roger Pielke, Jr., who has worked for decades with the insurance industry on disaster risk analysis, offers two posts that provide excellent clarity on these issues “What the Media Won’t Tell you about Wildfires” and “What the IPCC actually says about Extreme Weather.”
Minister Wilkinson’s push for NetZero is “Magical Thinking” that will not stop climate change, says Friends of Science Society. It will cost Canada trillions of dollars, according to a Friends of Science assessment of the under-estimated Royal Bank Transition plan. Likewise, a natural solar storm – a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) of energy from the Sun, on the magnitude of the 1859 Carrington Event would devastate an ‘electrified’ NetZero society, if no fossil fuels were available as alternatives to rebuild.
About
Friends of Science Society is an independent group of earth, atmospheric and solar scientists, engineers, and citizens that is celebrating its 21st year of offering climate science insights. After a thorough review of a broad spectrum of literature on climate change, Friends of Science Society has concluded that the sun is the main driver of climate change, not carbon dioxide (CO2).
