Is the DMF heading for extinction?

For decades, the Deferred Management Fee (DMF) has been the bedrock of retirement living. Simple in theory – residents defer part of their payment until exit, allowing operators to keep entry prices lower – it has long underpinned how villages...

Location, location, care: why workforce is shaping feasibility as much as demographics
