Considering a group home / residential care home

Nurses Career Support

Published

I am a hospice RN and I have had a long term goal of opening a care home for the elderly. I have decided to finally open one this year. I would like any advice possible regarding income, costs, ratios, legals, and personal opinions or any other info anyone has to contribute. Thank you in advance.

Put your business plan together - look at start up costs so you can get a realistic picture of whether you could make a living. If you are considering this type of venture, I would advise you to contact your local Small Business Association. They have wonderful resources for very little cost - to learn the ins & outs of running a small business.
