What Sonida Senior Living does

Operator of senior living communities providing independent living, assisted living and memory care across the US.

Residents pay monthly fees that combine rent and a care charge rising with the help they need, mostly out of their own pocket or through long-term-care insurance rather than Medicare, so occupancy and annual rate increases drive results. It was named Capital Senior Living until 2021.
