VERY easy...call your local Department of Aging, let them know how many beds you are licensed for, and you won’t need marketing because they usually have a waiting list. I’m in Mississippi, it’s been effective for me here.
Hello Aramot, would you be so kind to share any steps in regards to the proper verbiage or what person or department we should ask to be directed to or needed to request this from the local department of aging. I thank you in advance for an additional advice
These places are all about money. I was a short term resident in an assisted living facility and all they could do was maximize the monthly rent and lower costs even when feeding seniors who should get nutritious meals.
I love the assisted living residence model. However, what type of resident do you accept? I suppose the resident is suffering from the effects of old age to some degree, such as short-term memory loss, or impaired motor skills. What are your criteria for selecting residents? Would it include people with dementia? Incontinence? chronic disease such as diabetes, renal failure, etc? Again, I suppose you would have to charge more for persons with extra care needs, such as those who are frequent fall/injury risks and need a nurse/CMA/etc to be constantly on alert? Forgive all the questions, but this is definitely not a low barrier to entry business. There are lots of moving parts to this, besides liability and retrofitting the house for senior safety. In Kansas there are 119 pages of regulations to comply with for the operator of assisted living facility/home.
I am confused how you come up with a 50k a year referral fee. If your average stay is 2.5 years than after your first year you would only have 4 vacancies per year?
You'd still have to be licensed with state and comply with all the regs. As manager you would be responsible. Also, you are subject to regular site visits, investigations, etc., to make sure you're in compliance with regs, not abusing your resident who constantly falls and hurts herself, etc. sounds like a nightmare. I guess $4000/month in rent from grandma or her family is worth it.
You can't speak for all placement agencies i actually own one my company is fairly new we only charge the facilities 50% of first and second months rent and the families are top priority.

do we pay the referral agency once we get paid? If so, it's not so bad.
Yes. It's certainly not a strategy to brush off, especially early on in filling out the beds.
Awesome info
Thank you.
A Place For Mom is an awesome resource!
So the payment is only for one time?

That’s for ten beds
Can you just hire a nurse and CNA's and not have to be one yourself to open up a RAL?
