Info on Opening Small Personal Care Home In Atlanta

[MYRN2016]

Greetings:

My name is AmiRah and I am currently working as a Resident Services Director/Health Care Coordinator for the largest Assisted Living Provider in America. Recently I have run across several families who need our services but were unable to afford the room and level of care fee. Their loves one were not appropriate yet to reside in a nursing home and frankly their families were not ready to place them there. Its seems a lot of caregivers are wanting to place their loved ones in a "home like" environment where they can flourish and finish well. I am interested in finding out more. Does anyone know where I can start, price range, any small family owned personal care homes I can visit in the Atlanta area. I would also like to include adult day and respite care services.

thanks to all who share.

Peace and Blessings to you :)

Well, I think you have a great backround for this endeavor. I do not know the Atlanta area, but you may try researching by loking at adds for respite care services, comfort care at home services etc.

I would also try taking a business class on business planning. check with your local Better Business Bureau and see what they reccomend. There may be a service like this that will help steer you in the direction of how to research the needs for this service in your area. Like you said, you see the need, now you need to see what your competition is offering.

Good luck to you and let us know how you are doing.
