Senior Care Growth Strategy Case Study

Introduction

A national senior care provider engaged StrideArc to evaluate its real estate portfolio and identify the most strategic path for expansion. The client needed clarity on where to reinvest, which markets offered the strongest demand signals, and how to standardize decision-making across sites.

StrideArc delivered a data-backed Growth Strategy Report designed to improve capital allocation, reduce market-entry risk, and accelerate the site selection process.

Project Overview

● Client Type: National Senior Care Provider

● Engagement Focus: Growth Strategy and Site Evaluation Framework

● Objectives: Isolate top-performing assets, identify expansion markets, compare financial models, and standardize the site selection process.

The Challenge

The client’s growth ambitions were constrained by a lack of clarity around asset performance, market opportunity, and execution strategy. Despite operating a large real estate portfolio, there was no consistent method to identify which properties warranted reinvestment, or which new markets offered the best conditions for expansion.

“The real challenge wasn’t selecting a strategy. It was the absence of reliable data and the lack of a framework to apply it consistently.”

— Lead Advisor, StrideArc

The organization also lacked a way to compare the financial implications of different expansion models—such as ownership, sale-leaseback, or lease build-outs—and had no standardized site selection process. Without a structured approach, the risk of inefficient capital allocation, delayed decision-making, and market missteps remained high.

The Solution

StrideArc developed a structured Growth Strategy Report composed of four core components: asset performance analysis, market screening, financial model evaluation, and a standardized site selection framework.

“We weren’t just delivering answers. We were building a decision-making structure the client could use deal after deal.”

— Strategy Lead, StrideArc

The asset performance component was designed to separate real estate metrics from operational influence. The market screening process incorporated demographic data, healthcare infrastructure, and competitive analysis to establish clear prioritization criteria. Financial model evaluation compared three potential expansion strategies using consistent cost and return inputs. The site selection framework outlined repeatable due diligence steps, customized to senior care requirements.

The Outcome

The Growth Strategy Report equipped the client to make faster, more confident decisions across their portfolio. By separating asset value from operational performance, the client gained a clear view of where to reinvest. Market prioritization reduced time spent evaluating new regions and focused efforts on high-potential areas.

The comparison of expansion models enabled financial flexibility, allowing leadership to select the most cost-effective approach based on current conditions. The standardized site selection process introduced consistency across teams and reduced the time and cost of due diligence.

Key Takeaways

StrideArc’s Growth Strategy Report provided the client with a structured framework for expansion, improving decision quality and internal efficiency. By aligning capital planning, market selection, and site evaluation within a single strategic model, the organization was positioned to scale with greater clarity and control.

● Portfolio performance was clarified using asset-level metrics, supporting targeted reinvestment decisions.

● Market screening accelerated expansion by focusing only on regions with strong demographic and infrastructure indicators.

● Financial model comparisons introduced flexibility, allowing for capital allocation based on return potential and risk profile.

● A standardized site evaluation framework improved internal alignment and reduced time required for due diligence.
