Hello everyone, I am an ALF Consultant, with 18 yrs experience. If I can help you with anything,it would be my pleasure. I have recently added business coaching to my consulting in order to teach owners & Adm, and staff to not only care for residents physically but also support them spiritually and emotionally. This will give them the tools (meditation, relaxation and so much more!) to stand out from the rest because ALF coaching is very new, and this will enable you to be one step ahead of your competition. If you know anyone that can benefit from this please be sure to tell them. For those that want to start an ALF, I can give you the guidance, and orientation from my 18 yr.experience. Coaching would be something that would come later after your business has been established.I am in Florida.My goal is to make Assisted Living what it should be, all about giving the residents a balanced care that will support them on all levels.

I am a retired Veteran. I am also a Healthcare Administrator working in a great organization but I still have a desire to build my own ALF. Writing a business plan and getting a license wouldn't be difficult for me. However, I am wondering where I can find funding. If you have some advise I would welcome it. Thank you.

I am graduating with a bachelors degree in gerontology this year. I currently work at a hospital and after I graduate i am going to nursing school early 2010. Eventually I want to get my masters in nursing. I work in a hospital and I found that I really don't like the disconnect between the nurses and the patients. I feel its military style, everything is done in a certain way and order and you miss the true sense of caring for the patient. Anyways a few days ago I thought about my dream career: starting and running my own ALF and eventually a nursing home. But I have no idea how to start planning that. I'm about to graduate with my bachelors degree and now I've been accepted to a bachelors nursing program, I don't plan on starting an ALF for atleast another 5-10 years but I need some information to get started. I want to run a small 10 bed facility. What is the average cost to open a facility that size? (by the way i live in south florida) Any advice you can give me?

How does one start an assisted living facility? (MN)

Posted by:Lisa Sneddon

Regina - I think if this is something you are really passionate about, you should start by visiting both a regular assisted living building - one with 80-100 residents, and a smaller one that may be in someones home if that is what you intend to do. If you have never worked in the industry, I highly recommend that you try to get a part time job at least as a caregiver. You will learn a lot about how they are run that way. Again, I would also contact the Small Business Administration about starting a business, you will want to write a business plan etc. And don't forget, if you build it, they won't just come. You have to remember that marketing is a very important aspect. I do not think you need a college degree (Does Bill Gates have one?) I would also check in with your local Alzheimer's Association office, they offer caregiving training as well. You would want to also have (or partner with) someone who can handle the books and the money management part of the business. Its not impossible as people do open them out of their own home, but it does not happen over night. Best of luck to you, please keep us posted on your progress and contact me if you have any additional questions!
