The new NIC mission statement is: “To advance the quality of seniors housing and care by facilitating informed investment decisions through best-in-class data, research, networking events and professional education.”

“At its core, the seniors housing and care business is about enhancing the quality of life for seniors,” said Robert G. Kramer, president of NIC, who led the change in the organization’s mission. “The success of our industry comes down to consumers’ experiences. The more positive those experiences, the more positive the industry image becomes, more consumers move into our communities, and more capital flows into the industry as a result. We’re proud that our data and services play an important role in providing transparency for operators and financiers to offer better products, better care and enhanced experiences for residents.”
