Tipping My Virtual Hat: McKnight’s News Services on Long Term Care, Senior Living and Home Care

Are you looking for realistic news that is both sympathetic to and critical of senior "care" industries? McKnight's News is a useful place to start.
October 8, 2025

I am working on a book. My students are working on seminar papers. Mass market media are writing about bankruptcies and want commentary. Residents of senior living are calling to report new concerns. Attorneys want to talk about private equity issues. So, what’s a good starting place for statistics, trends, breaking news and opinion on senior living industries, presented in a calm manner?

McKnight’s News comes in three online news formats:

The publications are written “to” the industries they serve, but I’m seeing an increasingly frank tone used, especially when the topic is the need for financial transparency or solutions for troubled companies. Amusingly, every once in a while someone will call me to ask me about something I have said in “the press,” and often the press they are citing is McKnight’s News, suggesting their writers do a lot of reading of blogs, even this one!

McKnight’s also hosts useful webinars and educational events.
