We need more nursing homes that are patient, caring and compassionate.
Couldn’t agree with you more! It’s always needed.
A lot of valuable information in this video! Thank you for this content Serg!
Great interview very informative and definitely helpful for me moving forward. Thanks you guys keep it up
You are a GEM !! asking the right questions ones we know and those we don't even think to ask
I’m glad this helped!
Excellent Video. I live in Riverside county and this video was exactly what i was looking for. thank you both!
Happy that you enjoyed the video! Make sure to subscribe and like 😊
Serg, you get to the really good questions... you are awesome!
Appreciate it! 🙏🏼
I almost bought the property off of Taft in July of 2021! I loved how the bathrooms looked with the wood look I took a video of it it was so creative! I just hated how it was facing the street and was concerned about potential street noise It’s so cool to see it pop up again after someone else bought it !
Hi Serg! Been watching the good you are doing for our elderly and communities and thank you for that and thank you for sharing this information. I lost my father due to Alzheimer's 2 years ago and it was a long 8 yr battle but I found my passion and inspiration during this journey and I am going to start my own RAL out of my own home up in the bay area in CA. I own the property and have a guest house on my property which I plan on converting to a RAL. Its small and will be a good start, maybe a 2 or 3 bed max. If you know more people who have done this in CA, and can provide helpful information on this especially in the bay area, and not necessarily a real estate investor but operating a RAL out of thier own property, please share. There is no content on this and maybe rightfully so but would love to get more knowledge on starting small and growing! Thanks so much Serg!
This video was very informational that i was looking for. Thank you. I've been a caregiver for almost 10 years in Sacramento, Ca. I've wanted to open a in home care in a residential area. I did do a little research and found the administrator 80hr course. Watching this video explains a lot and i'm really motivated to proceed in this direction. Thank you again.
Glad it was helpful! Make sure to subscribe and support the channel.
GOLD! DO MORE OF THESE!
Thanks man!
Wow this information was so helpful 👍👍
Huge leap of knowledge for me. 🙏🏾
Glad to hear it! 👍🏼
Thank you. This was wonderful. It does not appear to be impossible.
You’re welcome!
Great interview! Thank you 🙏🏽
You’re welcome!
Thank you! Very informative. I am in the very beginning stages of this process. I attended the 80 hour class (20 hours online) and will be looking to take my RCFE Administrator test soon.
You're welcome! Glad this information helped. Keep up the good work and best of luck in getting started!
Hello, I am in Cali. Would you want to share information? 😏
very useful video, thanks you two
Glad to hear it!
I have watched a few videos and I like the concept of educating others in the RCFE marketplace! Great Job! #Awesome
I appreciate that!
Very informative and greatly appreciated
Glad you enjoyed it
Learned so much from you both..ty
You're welcome!
Even though I'm not in California this was very good to hear the steps etc because it's probably going to be similar in other states and at least we know what questions to ask ahead of time.
Most definitely! Glad to hear you enjoyed it and got information out the video.
So informative, thank you!
You’re welcome!
How did I miss this video but glad I came across this video. I am in the process of looking/buy my home now. Its hard to find the right property.
Thank you for the support!
Thanks for the great content Serg! Is there somewhere I can go to get more details on the home purchased in Murrieta in the video? Size and cost of the home, cost of renovation, etc... The guest, Efas, also mentioned a video in the interview; I was trying to look for it or more information pertaining to his process. Thanks.
Thanks for the information
My pleasure!
Thank you guys
Our pleasure!
Great video Serg, this guy gave us great information on starting an ral in california, would like more info though as I am interested in opening one up.
Thank you for the support! Yeah, I do offer my program at legionassistedlivingacademy.com for individuals like yourself wanting more info.
Thanks I will take a look at that
I started thinking about this idea of running a board and care, and so many questions and doubt came to mind. Many of the comments this gentleman said in this video resonated with the concerns I had. I really appreciate his honesty and I appreciate you Serg for bringing him on. People say just start the business, figure it out as you go! With no business or real estate background.... I don't think its that easy. What if this happens, what if this happens? I don't have a real estate guy. I imagined running into the same problem, how it took him 10 months to get started, and imagine paying rent with 0 vacancies for 6 beds! for 10 months!? I will definitely reference this video once I do get started. Again, i appreciate both of you for this wonderful content.
🤍 great video
Amazing people, this shows how generous and professional they are.
Thank you for that! Appreciate the support.
good information
Thank you for sharing!
Great info video! But on the point of fire clearance, he didn’t provide info on how to get the house fire clearanced. Who to contact or when to do it ?
I own 2 in LA I listened to this just to hear how accurate. I'll say 👍. Spot on for a short video,. I'm interested in opening in 2 other states. So I'll check this guy out based on his facts in LA. But it's other things needed
Specially your program to be written
Thanks for listening and looking forward to hearing what other states you open in.
What type of home do you own?
@@dcspittz4537 RCFe & ARF
(adult Residential for Autistic & mentally delayed)
@@selfevidentinc.5266
I just passed my exam and home is ready for inspection, just wanted to ask what is the rate per person here in Los Angeles Ca, I was told it varies but I just wanted to know a fair amount.
@@WattsTowers131
The rates are min $3,000 to 4,000 for a private room. 6 max clients
$3,000 is going rate but it's other classifications can get you $5,000 to 10,000
A lot more!!!! Involved , those clients are with Regional Center. Developmental delayed or Austic seniors , requires min 2/5yrs exp working with there clients only!
Amazing interview even 6 months later
Thank you for the support!
Could you make a video on getting licensed in Arizona?
EFAS, Can i do a visit to the RCFE home in Murietta? What company who install
the fire sprinkler?
Blessings
God bless! 🙏🏼
Hi i have been watching your videos for while. And I Ready took the clases I passed the exam as administrator residential a few months ago. But i haven't get the license till now. What should I do ?
So do I need to get a RCFE administrator certificate in order to start up ?
Thank you both for sharing the knowledge very informative.
If someone wanted to start an assisted living home would they need to have a medical background before starting the certification for administrator?
Thanks again gentlemen.
You’re welcome! Yeah, they’ll most likely run a background check before giving you the certification for administrator.
Hi Serg. I'm watching all your videos. Great content. I noticed Efaz's RAL are all out of business. Do you know what happened? I'm in California. Looking into Murrieta. Wondering why they failed?
Hello, I noticed the and am interested in the same. This is great information. What issues did they run into? I'm a nurse and I am looking to take the courses soon. There is a great need for these facilities, how do we improve for our residents?
Thank you for all the information!
Any recommendations who should I hire to do with the application process?
hi Serg, you are great! could you provide me the info of your guest so that I can contact him. I am in California and have a zoning question to make 8 bed facility
Hey, quick question-- should i do your course or the 80 hour manager course? I manage 3 assisted living facilities for clients as a realtor/property manager.. my client owns the buildings and has a lease with the business owner but we also helped them rehab and got it all set up and licensed, etc.
Also i have manager experience but in small restaurants as an area manager but nothing to do with ALH/RAL. so i get the business side for the most part and even most of the set ups but the forms and procedures are more of my issue. I would ask the tenants to show me because they are family but it might be in their area so i dont want to over step.. also they have 20+ years experience so didnt take the course-- just paid a manager to do that and they know enough to look over the manager's shoulder etc.
I have the $ now after flipping a few homes this year and my Real Estate sales to start a decent sized business but the goal would be to hire a manager but my thought was- i could look over their shoulder better if i took the manager course as well.... but i wasnt sure if maybe the course you provide would more effectively fill that space or what your thoughts are.
Thanks Serg! I love your content man!
andrew@pinnacle.guru
Also side note: I have 5 for sale in Ga if your team/investors are interested! From a 600k 28 bed facility to a 94 bed 9.95m facility! Let's talk soon!
Got any smaller places in SC that are for sale turn key? I'd love to collab
Great video! Learned a lot. One question: When it comes to licensing is licensing a one-time thing. Or for every property do I need to get licensed.
Every location you acquire or start you will need to get it licensed.
@@serg_lupescu Thank you!
I live in mi and I’m ready to start residential assisted living where can we get the classes
Is there a list of compliance form for the home in CA?
Great info! It seems his location is closed. Any reason or thoughts for that? curious if it's local red tape?
He ended up relocating and sold his locations.
If I live in idaho can I open one in California and be the administrator?
Can you possibly get me the geriatric specialist information? I need help with the application process.
You can ask Efaz for the contact details of the Geriatric Specialist for me in San Diego bc I'm about to start a facility.
How do we start taking administrative classes? I am in California also
Great video. I just got a few questions as i got a response from the same state. Interested need point if contact? In same area
Thank you for the support! Greatly appreciate it. You can look in the description of the video and you’ll find the point of contact for that area.
What is the link to register for the administrator classes? Thank you, appreciate it
So sorry about that. TH-cam is so weird and for some reason disables my links. Anyways, I have linked it down below for you.
legionassistedlivingacademy.com/
Can anyone mentor me on application process so that I make no mistakes, I want everything to go smoothly no set backs. Willing to pay! Im in California
Do you offer any consultation or potentially hire you to help us on the process ? Me and my fiancé are almost ready to open one but we want everything to go smoothly throughout the process and need some guidance.
As of right now I only offer consultation over the phone. You can schedule anytime and how many times you need to.
where can i get all the notices that need to be posted in view that are required from RCFE. My final inspection will be may 25. Any information would be very appreciated. I am from Napa County
You can try and find it here:

@@serg_lupescu thank you so much
Can an ALF(Assisted Living) take my Mom's LINK card when they are already getting funded by the state with her SS check?
My mother qualified for Medicaid and the state sent her a LINK card for groceries. She has no need for the groceries since she stays at the assisted living place. However, the facility asked for this LINK card stating that this would also go to help pay for her meals. This bit of information was never given to me in the beginning of applying for Medicaid for my mother. Is this common for facilities to do this?
Yes it is normal.
What does zoning mean?
Hi serg do I really need to own a house to start my own residential assisted living coz I can only rent a house I wanted just to start for 1 or 2 senior
It’s not necessary that you own the home. You can definitely rent and make sure that you work out the agreement with landlord.
Are there geographic locations that are more advantageous than other like rural vs urban locations
There is, and that is something I discuss in the program that you can find in the description of this video.
Hello, do I need to take the required classes AFTER purchasing a facility/residence? Or, can they be taken before buying a house?
You’ll want to take those courses and get the required certification before leasing/purchasing the property.
I watched another video thar recommended to not be the administrator. Own the property and business and hire the administrator. Can you explain pros and cons? Do you still take the 80 hour course if you hire the administrator? Thanks so much!
Hi Mr serg, we are from California, and my husband's relatives have adult residential care. Their administrator is my husband and now they are planning to sell the business and the house. We would like to take over the business what should we do? What are the processes and Will it be easy? Thank you!
Literally what this video is about. Just watch it.
I have three single family homes 2/1, 1/1, 3/2. Can you do that instead of a one six bedroom in California?
Great questions. The answer is no, you’ll need a minimum of 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms to be able to license for the max which is 6 in California.
I would like to tour his facility.
His contact info is the description of the video
How many hours do you work them?
Are they 12 hours/day or 8 hours/day? How many days per week? 3, 4, or 5?
Residents need care 24/7 like any other assisted living.
Hi Serg, I leave in San Diego & there's a Geriatric specialist he mentioned at the end of this video who's in San Diego & runs a facility. I didn't get his name quite well & I'd love to find him for help and advise including visiting their facility. Can you please find out if you can get me his contacts or business name or something to reach out to him.
Can you do one on how to start one in Texas?
Yes, I’ll try and get someone who will be willing to come on and do one for Texas.
I live in California and very ready to start on residential assisted living, where can we get the class?
They’re all linked in my the description of the video. Hope this helps!
@@serg_lupescu thank you
You’re welcome!
Do you have the vendor information for the administrator classes I am in San Diego, CA. Thank you
It’s in the description of the video of where you can sign up to take the administrator class.
Hello! Where exactly can we go to find forms and policy & procedure packages to purchase?
You can go to legion-assisted-living-advisors.teachable.com
@@serg_lupescu hi I knkw its been a year. Do you offer consulting for opening a group home?
@@toobusyfornow yes I do. There’s the legionassistedlivingacademy.com that you can sign up for. 😊
tell me something, I'm LVN in California and i would like to start the residential care business in my own house BUT my house has basement and is located in my kitchen underground, so im kind of worry about that .... so the other question is when the house is ready with licensed and everything how i should get my clients . thank u
The residents don’t hangout in the kitchen so I would say that is fine. As long as you have a way to bring them the food and where to eat.
I do teach all of this in the program that you can purchase at legionassistedlivingacademy.com
Thank u so much for the link , so when I have everything ready for the residential assisting living, how could i advertise my home any ideas ??? Thank you
We are looking into the assisted living business and came across this video. What happened to Efas’s locations? It looks like both homes have sold. We live in California and are looking for new career opportunities. Thank you.
Thanks for supporting the channel. That’s correct, he ended up selling both of his locations to start other ones. Are you looking to purchase something in California?
Serg Lupescu yes we are open to California and Arizona. More interested in Ca.
Do you need administrator certification if you are a nurse ?
Yes, you’ll need to get your administrator’s certification.
Is there a way where I could just purchase a home and pay someone else to run the care home? Obviously I would be getting a small percentage of the profit but this sounds like a good opportunity to partner up with someone who's already got experience managing
In most cases those individuals would rather keep all the percentage for themselves then partnering up with someone just for the capital.
Am an RN in Texas and looking for a partner
Do you use Spot and share drive to report covid19 infections?
That is no longer required to do anymore.
How many consumers are recommended to get a better return. I have a 3 bedroom house that would only allow 3 people for assisted living.
The more residents, the better. 3 people will not be enough to cover your overhead much less make you any kind of ROI.
What’s zoning mean when looking for property’s?
It’s when the city zoning will zone your property for a specific use case. For instance a single family home can be zoned for a residential assisted living. That requires a certificate of occupancy with a special use case for residential assisted living.
@@serg_lupescu thank you so much for the reply
These care homes no longer seem to be in business 😐 . I would appreciate a follow up interview with the owner to see what the challenges were.
May I have Michael Gorman Lawyer contact, please
The business in California is sold off or closed - was there a cash flow issue? Why did your guest close off his business?
He was a real estate investor and someone offered a deal he couldn't refuse.
I thought it said 40 hours careersmart
Hi - did Efaz's business close down? I clicked the links and it says out of business. What happened?
He sold the properties to another operator.
@@serg_lupescu thanks! i wonder if he had challenges and/or if he is still in the RAL space.
@@hkhashwj no, he’s a real estate investor and just flipped the properties with the licenses
I live in murrieta we are at the beginning of opening a residential asst. I would love to come by and see your facility.
any recommendation where can I go for RCFE training her in California? I live in LA county. TIA ;)
Community care options online class
Try care providers. In westcovina. Excellent training!!!! Stay away from "Smart Seminar"
His classes are confusing & brutal. He give u wrong answers on purpose.😩. I asked him why he do that ? He said to make u think & find the answers,. WTF!😳
@@ms.carter4718 thank you 😊
@@selfevidentinc.5266 wow, thats terrible. thanks for your recommendation i really appreciate it. ❤
I got my administrator license through Assisted Living Education (ALE). It was all online also due to COVID-19.
Wow, their Instagram says this RCFE is Out of business!!
I believe it’s under new ownership.
Do you have his contact information?
You also need capital in reserve to open one in California I know most people that had to have 500,000 in order to open one so make sure you have money or it no point doing the steps
That’s quite a bit of capital! Was it on a bigger facility or was that for a RCFE?
You think how much money i need to prepare if i want to start a carehome business in California?
@@jeffreyramos812 you need 500,000 it reserve capital that means the employees income and they won’t allow you to open one if you don’t have that
@@ZeebeautyInfluencer thanks may be only in my dream i can open one don’t think i can manage to save that much money
It's 120 minutes to take the Test, that's 2 hours,.
Thanks for sharing
Hello here in California pls need help I have my administrator certificate but need help to start🙌🏽🙌🏽
Hello!
All the links are in the description for you to go and learn about what you need to do to get your certificate.
@@serg_lupescu thanks 🙏🏽..
Are these homecare profit or non profit? I need to manifest mine
For profit. You’ve got this! Anything is possible as long as you set your mind to it and put in the effort to do it
Can you live in the house during the license process?
You have to make sure that the home is empty and no body is there for the initial inspection, but yes you should be able to live there as you’re setting the home up for licensing.
@@serg_lupescuThank you for answering this question - this was probably the biggest question on my mind. Have you heard of other ways the house could be used for while waiting for licensing (but after inspection?
I just seen that this person is out of business. Homes are closed. Can you get an interview with him again and find out what were the problems? What could he have done different?
I have 5 bed room home at Fontana California but , 2 room at 1st floor and 3 room including master at 2nd floor , people said it’s impossible to make home care !
Is there any way i can convert my home ??
. Can i make together room at second floor to be 2 room and converting my big living room be come 3 rd room at bottom
Or can I convert my garage become 2 additional room ??
This is something you’ll have to hire an architect for and to have someone who knows the regulations as far as what the city will require for you to do in order for them to pass your inspection.
@@serg_lupescu thank You
I will soon have a vacant home in SoCal looking to lease the home. If anyone is interested in turning it into a assisted living. We can talk.
Where in SoCal?
Do you know why he sold his two locations?
Not sure why he ended up selling his two locations.
Do you purchase a house for business or convert a personal residence for this?
You can do either one. I’ve seen people do both
Is it possible to utilize the SBA loan to purchase property for a RCFE? If not, how can I get funding for this venture?
@@vincetravel5402 absolutely! SBA does require borrowers who are needing lending for a RCFE, to have a minimum of 2 years of experience in the industry.
I have 4+ years of nursing experience in the acute care setting. Will that count towards the minimum of 2 years experience that you mentioned?
@@vincetravel5402 yeah it most likely would.
How many caregivers do you hire for 7 residents?
I did a quick math of 4 , 8 hour shifts spread over 24 hrs if needing someone there all the time. Over 7 days a week it works out to be 4 caregivers
@@cassiecornett4665 is it possible to see this? Especially, since you have to pay overtime after 40hrs/week
The prerequisite is being able to research, plan, and teach yourself. So many questions on here that can be answered with a simple Google search, or actually watching this video all the way through. If you can't do that, the RCFE licensing process is going to be way too difficult for you to navigate. Lots of people have lost everything thinking they could stumble through this with minimal effort.
This the why I don't get on FB. People ask question without even doing research. I had a lady message me about RAL. She asked so many damn questions. I told her she need to do research and stop thinking this a get rich business.
@@reginacameron3011 Yep. Everyone's forgetting that these are actual people who need help, just like our parents, grandparents, and we'll be someday. Yes, you can build a profitable business, but it takes a lot of work and dedication, and your heart needs to be in the right place. There's too many people doing this for the wrong reasons now. The industry needs compassion, not investors.
I wish he discussed financing
I can discuss this.
Hi can we start that business in a rental house??
Yes, you’re able to do that. It’s what I did when I first started.
@@serg_lupescu ohh thanku so much can i contact you for more info ?
@@azeemtatlah yes you can. You can schedule a call in the link below,

M working at a facility rn we have 4 guys 18 yr old all i think category E not sure how much can i get for those guys??
Great video but they went out of business back in 2021. Not too long after they opened.
He sold off the properties because it was a real estate investment for him
