LeadingAge And Ziegler Release 20th Annual LeadingAge Ziegler LZ 200 Report


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.

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. They are mission-driven innovators, bringing creativity to complex challenges and living their promise to go above-and-beyond,” said Katie Smith Sloan, President and CEO of LeadingAge. “As the trusted voice for aging, LeadingAge is proud to share this insight into our members’ transformational leadership in our sector.”
