The story

Erickson Senior Living was founded in 1983 by John C. Erickson as Erickson Retirement Communities. The first location was a conversion of a Baltimore seminary in Catonsville, Maryland. By 2009, Erickson operated a billion-dollar portfolio of properties in states from Massachusetts to Texas.

Erickson filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2009. The majority of that company's assets were purchased by Redwood Capital Investments, LLC for $365 million, and a new Erickson Living company was created as a subsidiary of Redwood Capital Investments, LLC. The company was renamed Erickson Senior Living in 2021.

In 2022, Redwood Capital Investments added an ownership stake in LCS, another senior living provider.

Products and brands

Erickson Senior Living owns, manages, and operates campus-style retirement communities that provide independent living, assisted living, memory care and skilled nursing care. Residents pay an upfront deposit to secure an apartment home and a single monthly fee to cover most living expenses. Residents pay only for services they want or need, and if a resident moves out or dies, a percentage of the deposit is returned to them or their heirs when a new tenant for the apartment is found. As of 2018, Erickson had 20 managed communities in eleven states.
