Money Saving Step by Step Guide on How to Open an Assisted Living Facility from Start to Finish MAKE MONEY WHILE MAKING a DIFFERENCE


Book Description

I will show you a detailed step-by-step process of how I opened an Assisted Living Facility (ALF) in a residential area from scratch. I purchased the house, prepared the required installations per licensing standards, purchased necessary items, developed and submitted the facility plans, submitted applications, paid fees, and obtained my ALF license. I had no experience in the ALF industry. I was not a nurse, and still not a nurse. So I went through the sweats, the tears, and the sleepless nights as a new person in the ALF industry with no friends and connections. I am going to save you time, frustration, and money. If you don't believe me, don't buy this book and continue to sit on your dreams, or get frustrated from the lack of information sharing and give up. The very few pieces of information you might find out there is confusing because, sadly, most people who own and operate smaller ALF don't fully understand the process because they did not do or don't know how to do their research. They hire consultants who never thoroughly explain the process to them. So, you will receive as much information as THEY understand; thus, only pieces of the puzzle, never the complete process. But here, I break down the whole process and make it easy to understand and follow.
