Owning an alzheimer's nursing home


My sister and I are both RN's in Maine. We are interested in opening, owning and running an small alzheimer's nursing home (maybe 10 patients.) We would love to provide top quality care and make a good living. Anybody done this or have any experience with the success of opening this type of facility?
