- Strawberry Fields REIT, Inc., a self-administered real estate investment trust that acquires and leases properties to be used for skilled nursing and healthcare services, continues to carve out market share of the elderly care market, which is estimated to be valued at $98.19 billion by 2032, up from $49.29 billion in 2024
- This growth will be attributed to the aging baby boomer population, with every single boomer in the U.S. expected to be 65 years or older by 2030

Strawberry Fields REIT (NYSE: AMERICAN: STRW), a self-administered real estate investment trust engaged in the ownership, acquisition, and leasing of skilled nursing and specific other healthcare-related properties, continues on an aggressive expansion plan as it works to carve out a decent market share of the elderly care market in the United States. Valued at $49.29 billion in 2024 and estimated to grow to $98.19 billion by 2032, representing a CAGR of 9% between 2025 and 2032, Strawberry Fields recognizes the huge untapped opportunity therein. It is positioning itself to take advantage of this impending growth (https://nnw.fm/lGiQe).
Various factors have been cited for the value uptick, with the aging baby boomer population in the country being key among them. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2020, there were approximately 76.4 million baby boomers in the country. Between 2010 and 2020, the population of individuals aged 65 years and older increased by 38%, and it is estimated to grow to 80.8 million by 2040. In addition, it is projected that by 2030 every boomer will be 65 years or older, meaning that one in five Americans will be a senior citizen (https://nnw.fm/RFjcS).
With the growth in the aging population comes a steadily increasing need for elderly care. Through its ambitious expansion plan, the company is strategically positioning itself via acquisitions and leases that currently span ten states. As of September 2025, the company owns and holds long-term leasehold interests in 142 healthcare facilities, totaling over 15,500 licensed beds. In addition, its growing portfolio includes 130 skilled nursing facilities (“SNFs”), ten assisted living facilities (“ALFs”), and two long-term acute healthcare hospitals (“LTACHs”).
Its recent expansions have included nine SNFs in Missouri, totaling 686 beds for $59 million; an 80-bed SNF in Oklahoma for $4.25 million; and a 124-bed facility comprised of 108 skilled nursing beds and 16 assisted living beds near Poplar Bluff in Missouri. While appearing on The Bell2Bell Podcast, CEO Moishe Gubin pointed out that these expansions demonstrate the company’s financial discipline and consistency, noting that the company only distributes 45% to 50% of its Adjusted Funds from Operations (“AAFO”), with the remaining 50% channeled toward additional asset purchases. As a result, its value per share has grown at an annual rate of 11.1%.
