Here’s the Truth. Can You Use a 2-Story Home for Assisted Living? Here’s the Truth. Thinking about turning a multi-story house into a residential assisted living home? While single-story homes are often the go-to choice, you can absolutely make a multi-level property work with the right planning and safety equipment. In this episode, Isabelle from the Assisted Living Network breaks down exactly how to navigate the challenges of multi-level RAL properties to ensure your residents stay safe and your business stays profitable.

Opening an RAL home in a two-story house requires a deep understanding of both state requirements and resident preferences. While many local residential zones might not strictly mandate an elevator, going above and beyond the bare minimum is what sets successful homes apart from the rest. We explore the critical differences between stairlifts and residential elevators, including the speed and safety advantages that elevators provide during emergency situations.

You will also learn about the financial side of these upgrades. From the typical costs of installation to the specific companies like Stilts Lift and Acorn Stair Lifts, we provide a clear roadmap for your investment. We even share a cautionary tale of a homeowner who skipped the elevator and struggled with 23 empty tours before realizing how much seniors value safety and accessibility. Whether you are looking to increase your bed count or boost your property's resale value, this guide covers everything you need to know.

Chapters
0:00 Intro to Multi-Level RAL Homes
1:35 Local Regulations and Zoning Rules
2:55 Elevator vs Stairlift Comparison
4:50 Recommended Companies and Pricing
6:45 Pros Cons and Resident Experience
8:30 Safety Benefits and Final Advice

Key Topics Covered
🏠 Navigating zoning and residential requirements
🚀 Why elevators are preferred over chairlifts
💰 Budgeting for installation and maintenance
📈 Real-world stories of RAL success
🛡️ How accessibility impacts your bottom line

No representation. No protection. No collective voice. Decisions were being made in favor of big-box facilities, while independent care home owners were left navigating regulations, costs, and challenges alone.

In this episode, Isabelle shares the story behind the creation of the Residential Assisted Living National Association - why it had to exist, what problems it was built to solve, and how a small group of committed people came together to change an entire industry.

You’ll hear how RALNA was formed to support smaller care homes through legal advocacy, group purchasing power, networking, education, and national representation. From fighting unfair regulations and tracking legislation across all 50 states, to unlocking discounts once reserved for big operators, to creating a community where care home owners no longer feel alone - this episode breaks down what RALNA actually does and why it matters now more than ever.

With 76 million baby boomers facing a housing crisis, the need for residential assisted living has never been greater. That challenge may also be the opportunity of a lifetime.

If you’re exploring residential assisted living, already operating a care home, or simply curious about how one home can impact families and your financial future, this episode will give you clarity, context, and a powerful reminder that meaningful change doesn’t happen alone.

Listen in, share with a friend, and discover how collective action is shaping the future of assisted living.

]]> Thinking about starting an assisted living business? Watch this first! Discover why 90% of people shouldn't enter this industry, despite the massive opportunity with 76 million baby boomers needing housing solutions. 

In this eye-opening discussion about residential assisted living, we explore the crucial barriers to entry that protect our seniors and why they're essential for the industry's integrity. From licensing requirements to staffing challenges, learn why these "obstacles" actually serve as vital quality controls in senior care.

Are you truly ready for this business? We break down the non-negotiable qualities needed to succeed in assisted living: genuine care for seniors, commitment to safety, willingness to invest properly, and the patience to work with families and staff. This isn't just about real estate investing – it's about creating safe, quality homes for our aging population.

If you're considering this industry solely for profits, this video reveals why that mindset won't work. Discover the balance between doing good and doing well, and why cutting corners in senior care is never an option. Real success in residential assisted living comes from dedication to excellence and a genuine passion for serving seniors.

Ready to learn if you're among the 10% who should pursue this opportunity? Your approach to senior care could be the difference between success and failure in this growing industry.

Unpaid Rent is a Thing of the Past! What happens if a resident stops paying for their care? Do you have to kick them out onto the streets?

When a senior moves into a residential assisted living home, it's typically not the resident themselves paying - they've assigned a Power of Attorney (POA) to handle their finances and care decisions. The POA, often an adult child, signs an agreement with the home and is responsible for making payments. So what happens if they stop paying?

In this episode, we cover:

- How a lapse in payment is considered elder abuse, similar to abandoning a child at daycare, and the legal repercussions the POA could face
- Options the care home has if a resident's family starts to run out of money, such as moving them to a lower-cost room or facility
- Cases where the home may work with the family to keep a long-term resident at a reduced rate
- The importance of balancing compassion for the resident with the business interests of the home

While extremely rare, especially in high-end homes, a complete cessation of payment could lead to authorities getting involved. However, most families communicate proactively if facing financial issues, and the home will seek solutions to avoid resident displacement.

Tune in to understand how to handle this sensitive situation if it arises. Discover how you can do right by your residents while protecting your RAL business.

In today's episode, we'll be discussing hospice care and how it can benefit both seniors and assisted living homeowners. We'll explore what hospice is, where it can be provided, who pays for it, and how assisted living homeowners can build relationships with hospice agencies to help fill their beds. Whether you're a senior looking for end-of-life care options or an assisted living homeowner looking to expand your network, this episode has something for you. 

Hospice care, also known as palliative care, is for people with a serious illness or approaching the end of life. It's not just for the last few days or months of life, and people can receive hospice care for years as long as their condition remains serious. Hospice care is an approach to care, not a location, and can be provided in hospitals, nursing homes, residential assisted living homes, or at the person's own home.

As an assisted living homeowner, building relationships with hospice agencies can help you fill beds and provide an extra level of care to your residents.

]]> Have you considered working with hospice agents to connect with residents to fill your home?

In today's episode, we'll be discussing hospice care and how it can benefit both seniors and assisted living homeowners. We'll explore what hospice is, where it can be provided, who pays for it, and how assisted living homeowners can build relationships with hospice agencies to help fill their beds. Whether you're a senior looking for end-of-life care options or an assisted living homeowner looking to expand your network, this episode has something for you. 

Hospice care, also known as palliative care, is for people with a serious illness or approaching the end of life. It's not just for the last few days or months of life, and people can receive hospice care for years as long as their condition remains serious. Hospice care is an approach to care, not a location, and can be provided in hospitals, nursing homes, residential assisted living homes, or at the person's own home.

As an assisted living homeowner, building relationships with hospice agencies can help you fill beds and provide an extra level of care to your residents. If you're looking to learn more about the residential assisted living industry and how to succeed in this growing field, be sure to check RAL101 on our website.

In this episode of the Assisted Living Network podcast, we're exploring an interesting question. Pets can provide comfort and emotional support for older adults, but they also come with some practical challenges in a care home environment. We'll weigh the pros and cons so you can make the right decision if you choose to open your own assisted living residence.

When considering pets, RAL homeowners must balance benefits and practical concerns with residents’ well-being as the priority. Companion animals profoundly reduce isolation and boost mood for many older adults. Yet they also pose fall risks, may trigger allergies, and create caretaking burdens in facilities. As operators, our role demands thoughtful compromise through a compassionate lens – perhaps allowing certain pets or structured visiting programs. 

Listen as we discuss creative solutions that can allow seniors access to pets while addressing safety needs.

How COVID-19 Helped Us Grow Our Senior Housing Business! The COVID-19 pandemic reshaped many industries, but one of the most profoundly impacted was senior and assisted living facilities.

In this episode, we discuss the effects of the pandemic on big-box facilities versus smaller residential assisted living (RAL) homes and what that means for residents and investors today. 

As the virus spread rapidly through nursing homes and large big-box assisted living centers, leading to many devastating deaths, a light began to shine on the significant differences in care between these corporate facilities and smaller RAL homes. 
 
During the pandemic, big-box facilities struggled with a variety of challenges. They experienced frequent staff turnover, struggled to maintain oversight over visitors, and had to cope with the isolation of residents. In contrast, RALs managed to uphold a semblance of normalcy with stringent visitor policies and efficient tracking of potential infections. 

While the death counts at larger facilities were alarming and heartbreaking, RALs fared much better. With less than 8% of COVID cases, they provided better care and staff-to-resident ratios. As a result, RALs became much more popular while the reputation of big-box facilities took a significant hit.

With the baby boomer generation transitioning into senior living in the coming years, the demand for RALs, offering comprehensive wellness and compassionate care, is projected to skyrocket. This presents a prime opportunity for small providers to cater to this expanding market of potential residents seeking alternatives to big-box facilities. Seizing this opportunity now and aligning with the shift away from traditional nursing home models could pave the way for long-term success.

In this episode, we discuss why resident-to-staff ratios are central to providing high-quality care and provide some insights into appropriate and recommended ratios for smaller residential assisted living homes. 

In many typical big-box assisted living facilities, ratios are around 20-30 residents per caregiver during the day and 40-50 residents per caregiver at night. These poor ratios contribute to bedsores, injuries, and death. The stressful work environment and long hours lead to high staff turnover and inconsistent care for the senior residents. However, in smaller residential assisted living homes, you can rest assured that better ratios are maintained, usually around 4-5 residents per caregiver during the day and 8-10 residents per caregiver at night. 

Listen for smart tips on marketing your own residential assisted living home. Showcasing significantly faster response times to resident needs versus large corporate competitors will help you stand out. Get ideas for highlighting your dedication to safe ratios and quality care.

If you’re looking to place a loved one in a setting focused on personalized care or want to open your own caring residence, this episode is a must-listen. You’ll walk away better informed about the pressing need for regulating staffing ratios and the solutions residential assisted living homes provide.

With 10,000 baby boomers turning 65 every day, many families are facing difficult decisions about eldercare. Is it cruel to move your loved one out of their home into an assisted living facility? In this episode, we’ll explore the compassionate and practical reasons why you want to consider this option. 

Most dual-income households simply cannot afford to quit jobs to provide 24/7 at-home care. At the same time, the costs of hiring an outside caregiver can equal those of assisted living facilities, which provide specialized senior housing and trained support staff. Retrofitting a home for senior living needs is also prohibitive, as adding ramps, walk-in showers, etc., takes both time and money. And for those attempting to be full-time caregivers, the physical and emotional strain can damage health and relationships.

The choice to move a senior loved one into assisted living is complex and emotional. But with trained professionals, specialized care, and social engagement, these facilities allow families to ensure their loved ones’ needs are met with dignity. As the sandwich generation struggles with competing priorities, assisted living often emerges as a difficult yet caring solution. There are no easy answers, but understanding the rationale behind this choice is the first step.

What’s the Difference Between Memory Care and Residential Assisted Living? Deciding if your loved one needs more advanced memory care can be an incredibly difficult decision. In today's episode, we’ll break down the key differences between assisted living and memory care to help you determine what level of care may be required. We’ll also provide some telltale signs that it may be time to transition to memory care and tips to make that move as smooth as possible. 

Here are a few signs that it may be time to transition a loved one to memory care:

  • Safety is at risk (getting lost, unsafe living conditions)
  • Needs are not being met (bills not getting paid, hygiene being neglected)
  •  Losing track of time and destinations when leaving home

Here are the main differences between assisted living and memory care:

  • Staffing & Licensing: Memory care staff require additional training and higher level licenses to be able to provide appropriate care. They are paid more as a result.
  • Safety: Memory care facilities have locked and obscured exits, keypad locks, and doorbell alerts to keep residents safe. 
  • Licensing: The physical building needs a different type of license to house memory care residents.
  • Cost: Memory care costs $1,000-$1,500 more per month than regular assisted living.

Activities for residents in a memory home are also going to be specifically tailored to their needs. When structuring activities for memory care residents, it's important to provide engagement while supporting their retained abilities. Matching activities directly to what residents can successfully participate in ensures appropriate cognitive and physical stimulation. 

Failure-free activities without strict metrics of winning and losing also help reduce frustration. Cooking, gardening, textured balloon volleyball, and adaptive technology like the Tovertafel system all provide ways for memory care residents to engage without the stress of reaching quantified targets. Focusing on enjoyable involvement rather than specific outcomes offers activity opportunities they can genuinely achieve.

As difficult as it may be, understanding when a move to memory care is necessary can bring great peace of mind that your loved one is getting the appropriate level of care in a safe environment. 

Equipped with a better knowledge of what sets memory care facilities apart from traditional assisted living, you can make the best decision for you and your family’s situation. Be sure to tap into resources like specialized memory care training for practical guidance. Most importantly, don’t forget to also prioritize self-care during this challenging time.

Now if you have a home right now that is maybe on a single level that could be converted to four bedrooms and maybe there's at least two bathrooms, so there's two people to a bathroom or maybe you add some extra bathrooms.

Libraries, grocery shopping, movies, those kinds of things are more important for independent living, That could be a good transformation or conversion from your current home into some senior housing.

Assisted Living means somebody is there to take care of them. We provide a service for them, and you need to get it ready because Assisted Living means there's going to be caregivers that there. They're not necessarily living in the house with them, live in caregivers, but if you are doing it that way, there might be a room that's designated for the caregivers.

So I think a lot of times we just assume that we should take care of our own mom, our own dad.

 

The reality may be we just aren't designed for that or have the time and ability to do so. So assisted living provides the care, the home, and the opportunity for us to take care of our parents without physically doing it ourselves.

There's a lot of people that will have Alzheimer's or dementia issues, memory care issues. The idea of memory care and understanding how to handle that is just as important as the physical contact. Assisted living is not just physical, it's also in memory care and brain change.

You know there's so much to learn, but the reality is we're all going to have to. We are all aging. Assisted Living is going to affect each and every one of us. You're either going to own the real estate the assisted living home is in, you're going to own and operate the business that is taking care of those seniors, or you or a family member may be living in a home, writing a check to somebody else who does.

Today it is completely different. When you think about living at an Assisted Living home, it has all of the comforts of home and there's other people in that home. It's a group of 8, 10, to 12 seniors in a home with peers their own age, living in that home together. It’s a community. Having a community of people to be with is incredibly important. It's not just your physical health, it's your mental health, your attitude.

Assisted Living is for when somebody has an event, they move into Assisted Living after that event where they need additional help or monitoring. They need help with their medication, bathing, feeding or whatever it may be. They move there because they have to. And it's a home setting and that's specifically what we do with residential assisted living.

Let's face it, we're all going to pass away. The question is when, not if. The family will come and they'll spend the last few days saying their goodbyes. 9 times out of 10, they pass away in the middle of the night. The opportunity to care for them and share with other people during that time is incredibly powerful. The families are thankful that we were there to take care of their family member all during that time.

A lot of older people have gotten to the point where they're not social anymore. Sitting and watching TV isn't very social for you or me. It's certainly not for them. But maybe there's games that can be played, puzzles that can be put together, or playing cards. Maybe it's artwork or crafts. Maybe it's dancing. When was the last time you saw your parents dance? They even had some really cool dances that they did.

Bring some music that would have been from when they were younger. Ask them did they ever go to a speakeasy or an after hours club? Some of the stories that will come out will tickle their imagination and bring life into their eyes and conversation. And the biggest one, just sit and talk. Ask them, “where did you travel? Where did you meet your spouse? Tell me about your kids.” If you start thinking about those things differently, you may just find that your parent is in the home you always dreamed of.

They even had some really cool dances that they did.

Bring some music that would have been from when they were younger. Ask them did they ever go to a speakeasy or an after hours club? Some of the stories that will come out will tickle their imagination and bring life into their eyes and conversation. And the biggest one, just sit and talk. Ask them, “where did you travel? Where did you meet your spouse? Tell me about your kids.” If you start thinking about those things differently, you may just find that your parent is in the home you always dreamed of.

Learn from other people's mistakes. Learn from other people's experience who's actually doing it, not just talking about it.  The most expensive lesson is the expense of doing it ourselves, getting to the end and saying, “I wish I knew that before I started.” You could save yourself a lot of money, but if you save yourself weeks or months or years. Saving time is even more valuable than saving money.

When you have a business you typically have standard operating procedures, SOPs. In Residential Assisted Living, we call those policies and procedures. It covers everything from bringing somebody into the home,  medication management, menus, scheduling of the caregivers, record keeping and everything in between. Even checking a resident out of the home.

Lastly, you have to have backup plans. So that when something doesn't go right what's the backup plan? What do we do in every situation? If this doesn't work, then this is what we do next. How are we going to do this if we can't get it done that way? If you have systems in place and you have the backup redundancy, you can pretty much handle anything that comes your way in Residential Assisted Living or virtually anything that you do.

Mobility issues are there more activities that they can't do? I mean really slowing down to the point where they need a cane, a walker or even a wheelchair.

The second sign is that they're lonely. They're at home, alone, and they're not engaged anymore. If they're all alone at home, what's going to stimulate them? They need to be engaged and just need to do something where they're part of a community. But if they're quieter, they're staying in, they don't leave the house anymore. That turns into the social constriction, and isolation.

Third one is, are they meeting their own needs when it comes to medication, are they forgetting to take it or taking too much? Food, they forget to eat, or they eat and forgot they eat and eat again. And taking care of themselves, they aren’t bathing or washing their clothes. Those kinds of personal functions are what we call activities of daily living. When they start to need help with those things, well you know that it's getting close to time.

That adult has been independent and they're not gonna ask you for help. Many times a senior, when they're younger and not as in need, transitions better into senior housing. That's more of an independent living situation where they're in their own townhome or apartment but they also have access to a cafeteria and group activities. Most seniors would rather stay in their own home. They'd rather have their own independence.

One good way to transition is to have them volunteer at a home. They can go in and play cards, make a puzzle, or read to those people. They become friends with the residents, and then when it comes time to move into the home it's not as foreign to them. Another way is that you sometimes need a break. You bring somebody into the home on a respite, from a couple of days to a week, and if they have a good experience, that later transition could be natural  At some point something has to be done and that decision made.

Imagine talking to somebody of that age where you can have the conversation about what were you doing and thinking, what happened during the Great Depression, what was going on in the street and in the home? That history is being lost, because once their gone it’s also gone. But being able to record it and preserve it and give it to the kids. It can be life changing and valuable for them.

]]> We're losing our seniors one senior at a time, and I don't just mean physically, but their history, what's in their mind, their head, their thoughts, and their heart. Grandma's still here, but some day she won't be. I wonder how many of their kids or grandkids have even heard their stories, They're going to say, what about Grandpa? Where was he? What did he do? Who was he? And there’s not going to be anybody there to tell them that story.

The resident is going to move in once, but the family is going to be the ones going to visit them, so it has to be conveniently located. Usually, 20 minutes so that way somebody can drive over after work and get home, and it only takes an hour or two to have that visit to be able to come and go a couple of times a week or a month. Unlike the big box facilities that start with a base rate then go up based on different options. One of the things to keep in mind is that when you have the Residential Assisted Living model, it's one side and it includes everything.

The caregivers are the ones who are face to face, day to day with your mom or dad, Do they communicate with love? Are they well trained or certified? Are they good at what they do? How do the managers treat the caregivers? Do they give them the resources they need, the tools they need? Do they provide inside and outside activities? Do they provide good food and nutrition? The most important consideration is this, would you trust them with your own mom and dad? Because that's what you're doing.

They have robots in hospitals right now and we do assisted living in a residential setting. But imagine, a senior having something around their wrists that would geolocate where they are and at any time a robot that has intelligence to communicate, could find them based on that location device, and roll right up to them and say, "Hi Mary, what is it you need? How are you feeling?" And Mary can communicate, and that robot can now communicate back. They can do a lot of things that the caregivers do now.

Then the hands on, special touch, the real deep communication, can be done by the human caregiver. If they're in the hospital, that doctor would actually read those vital signs, read the charts, have all the information at their fingertips. Now think about the efficiency and the effectiveness of that. The doctor getting their eyes on that patient, resident right there without being there. They could go throughout the whole house, see 10 people very efficiently and effectively in less time than it would require to take a single resident to the doctors office. It just makes sense.

You should put a ramp in so if they have a walker or a wheelchair, or to avoid any trip hazard at all.

The colors should be neutral colors. There should be shades or curtains on the windows. The front room has nice furniture and artwork on the wall. The floors are smooth and easy to clean. The bathroom has grab bars by the toilets and showers. You should display the license, the code of ethics, phone numbers for them to call in an emergency.

That is 1.5 million people turning 85 every single year. Not all of them are going to survive to  86 or 90. And not all of them are going to need assisted living. But if just 20 percent of them need assistance with their activities of daily living for an average of three and a half years.

So 1.4 million 85 year olds that will need additional help in the next five years. And most people would rather live in a home, where the care is five residents to one caregiver, where the food is fresh and it's coming from a kitchen that's 25 feet away.

The reality is none of those things are gonna happen. When we talk about the opportunity and where assisted living is going in the future, nobody wants to live in a big box. They want to be at home in their own home, but they do need assistance. People who are at home now aging 80, 90 years old, they want to stay at home.

They'd rather stay at home but they can't and they don't want to move to the big box. So the solution is residential assisted living. You know right now governments are encouraging assisted living. They're actually changing rules, laws and regulations to make it better. There are too few beds, too few homes. They need people like me and you to help be a part of the solution. Assisted living is moving into the home in the residential setting. It's preferable to the senior into their family. You and I, we are the solution.

No day is the same. What you're looking for is the manager to take care of business, find the residents, take care of the family, hire the caregivers. The day to day life that you have within your assisted living business is going to depend on how you want to operate. You can be hands off and the manager is the one that finds hires, trains and retains the caregivers, the manager is responsible to make phone calls, bring in people who need the assisted living, do tours, bring them into the home, do the assessment of the resident that day to day, filling in the agreement.

And when those residents come in and drop off a check for five, $6,000 a month and 10 of them get dropped off on the same day, that's a wonderful day. So the day to day life will depend on how you want to own and operate this home. We have students all over the country that are more hands on.

When you are In Residential Assisted Living you're going to get sued. The reality is we understand what the liabilities and the risks are. We have insurance to protect ourselves from it. But when people move into our homes, they're being taken care of, their being loved on. We want them to live forever, but on occasion they do pass away. People do die and It's a matter of when, not if. 

Now again, I want you to get very real. Let's say that person living in the senior care home, the residential assisted living has five kids. Those five kids are 50, 60 years old. Those are the kids because mom or dad is 80 or 90 years. They've come to visit mom or dad everyday or every week. They see the caregivers. They know them by name. They've eaten the food in the dining room with mom or dad. They know the manager, they love the experience. Now they'd been there for three years. They fall, they break their hip, they go to the hospital and two months later, they pass away. That is sad, but it's not unexpected.  

So avoid those potential problems. Have the proper insurance, and do a good job. Dot your i's and cross your t's. But rest assured, if you do this right, that liability is truly a non issue.

The third way is both, own the real estate and operate the business. The entity that operates the business leases the real estate from this entity over here. We own the real estate, get the tax benefits, and over here on the business we had the operating entity that pays rent to leasing it from.

They'll be a joy to be around. The amount of food, the quality of food. That is so easy to fix.

I always ask the residents when they come in, what's your favorite food? What do you love to have? If they say, I love seafood, shrimp, fish and so on. You can get jumbo shrimp the size of your finger that costs you very, very little and if they ate one, two or three of them, that's all they need. The high quality foods served on a special occasion is a real special event.

If you really want to have a home that people will wait in line to get into, have a chef. Do cook to order breakfast. Lunch could be a set lunch, or maybe two choices. In between breakfast and lunch, they're making a wonderful meal for dinner. You could charge a thousand dollars a month more because you have a chef. The chef is a feather in your cap, it’s what will bring people in and they'll stay with you for it.

They understand that being with other seniors their age is vital to their health and their mental stability and wellness as well, so it's a great thing.

You know, a lot of people think the government's going to take care of the long-term care needs of the parents or grandparents in their life, and the answer is, well, the federal government does give money to the state government. The state then comes up with a program. They may pay out $2,000 a month for long-term care assisted living, but that amount is going to be reduced by whatever income they have. They basically say to their citizens, show us that you're of age, let's say 65 and above, show us your assets, your income, your age, and we'll determine if you qualify for our program.

We talk about Residential Assisted Living because it's a single family home, in a residential neighborhood. Now the home itself might be a little bigger than your average home but we are using this for commercial purpose. I didn't say we're operating a business that's different because most places that have an HOA, and have covenants, codes and restrictions, are going to have some kind of wording in there that says you can't operate a business out of your home.

When we talk about Residential Assisted Living, it is a residential home and a group home for the elderly, so it's not a business. We don't have a lot of customers coming and going all day long. When it comes to the lending, It's a residential home. It's non owner occupied, so you could pretty much go to any bank as if you're just going to buy a house that you're going to use as a rental property, it's called non owner occupied because you're not living in the house. You can also use private lenders, investors and joint venture partners, people who will provide the capital that's needed.

The advantage of the big box could be that they start with independent living and then move to more advanced care options.

One advantage of the small Residential Assisted Living facility is it’s your own space, that bedroom is yours. There’s only a limited number of peers that they're sharing the rest of the space with. A bigger benefit is the consistent staff and more individualized care with the resident to caregiver ration. It is not just home like. It is a home.

The Right Place and Right Time for Assisted Living When the recession hit the market changed in regards to commercial investments and assisted living. The big builders finished the projects they were currently working on and then stopped all new building. However the need for assisted living didn’t stop. People were still aging and moving in and needed it. Those large facilities filled up as no new facilities were being built. 

 

So when we are talking about overbuilding, let’s think about it differently. These big box companies have done their research. They know that where they are building is the perfect location based on the number of people there, the amount of money they have, their age, the demographics and the ability for them to pay. If you see a big box facility coming to your town that is a good sign.

 

If you can locate at the end of their driveway that is awesome, but within a few miles would be ideal. They have already done the market research for you. You know the people are there and if they know you are there, you become the alternative, the boutique home with 10 to 12 beds, versus the large institutional building with 212 beds. You have the better product in the right location. So let them overbuild.

Part of that is genetic, but the other part is how well you treat your body, what you do with it and what you put into it.

One of the things to pay attention to is the food you eat. Think of the food as fuel. Is it high octane or low octane? Vegetables, lean meats, fruits and other fresh foods are full of rich vitamins and nutrients. Foods high in sugar and fat aren’t and can actually have a negative impact on health. Also, if you're taking in too much fuel, you won't burn it off, the body will store it. Don’t forget to hydrate with plenty of water!

Another important part of health is moving and staying active. Your body needs to do more than sit around in front of the TV. It needs consistent activity or exercising. In fact, studies show the more active you are the healthier you will be. The third component to health and longevity is social interaction. Engaging and connecting with other people helps add that spark to life. Health, longevity, social interaction all work together as we age.

First is price. In America, the average cost for a private room in an assisted living facility is $3,600. That's a lot. But you get what you pay for, and you do not want your relative living in average. A reputable facility costs closer to $6,000 a month.

The second key point is location. For the best choice, you’ll want to have a location that is conveniently located for you. The facility should be easy to get to and close to home or work. You're the one who's going to come to visit, make that easy on yourself!

Finally, what’s the home like? Is it clean and inviting? Check out the physical space; the private and public areas. Are rooms shared or semi-private? What services does the kitchen offer? Is the dining space appealing? What other amenities and activities are offered by the home?

Those are just the basics - there’s a lot more to consider. We’ve been through every step of the process and can help you understand everything you need to know about assisted living.

A reputable facility costs closer to $6,000 a month.

The second key point is location. For the best choice, you’ll want to have a location that is conveniently located for you. The facility should be easy to get to and close to home or work. You're the one who's going to come to visit, make that easy on yourself!

Finally, what’s the home like? Is it clean and inviting? Check out the physical space; the private and public areas. Are rooms shared or semi-private? What services does the kitchen offer? Is the dining space appealing? What other amenities and activities are offered by the home?

Those are just the basics - there’s a lot more to consider. We’ve been through every step of the process and can help you understand everything you need to know about assisted living.

But what is overbuilding and does it really exist? Seniors that need help and care, they are unable to live alone, need a bed in some type of senior housing facility. Right now there’s a boom in senior housing being built all over the country. Facilities and beds are being built in some places more than others. There are a few areas that are overbuilt, which mean they have more beds than they do seniors to fill them, but most are under built and there are many areas where senior living facilities are nonexistent.

There’s an average of 4,000 people turning 85 each day -- that’s 120,000 a month or 104 million people a year turning 85. The baby boomer generation is aging. It’s a silver tsunami of people that will need help and care in the form of a senior living facility. This means there is a huge opportunity! A golden opportunity to do well and do good at the same time. The Residential Assisted Living Academy is here to help you take advantage of this opportunity with exclusive resources every step of the way!

Here are some of their main differences. Big box facilities feel like a hotel. They try, but it is hard to get that homey feel in a facility for hundreds of people. Residential assisted living homes are single-family homes converted to house a few seniors.

One obvious difference is one is big while the other type of facility is small. This difference plays a big part in the caregiver ratio, which is the number of staff compared to residents. In a small facility an average ratio is 10 residents to 2 caregivers, very reasonable. In a big box facility, the ratio is closer to 20 residents to 1 caregiver. Big box facilities have more people for residents to interact with, while smaller homes offer more freedom.

The cost difference is notable as well. Smaller facilities generally charge a reasonable flat rate for residents. Big box facilities charge a monthly rate and bill additional services. Looking outside, small homes are in a residential neighborhood while their bigger counterparts are commercial buildings surrounded by parking lots. One fe els institutional, one is a home.

It is the 77 million baby boomers that are aging. There's 4,000 people a day are turning 85 and many will require care in the form of a senior living facility. Today in America, there are about 1.4 million beds for these seniors. But there are 1.4 million new 85 year olds every single year!

This silver tsunami that is coming can either be a crisis or a golden opportunity. The average cost for a room in a reputable facility is $7,500 a month, which comes out to $90,000 not including other life expenses. That’s a lot! But you don’t have to burden yourself, your family or your children with these expenses by owning your own residential assisted living facility.

At the Residential Assisted Living Academy, we’re showing others how to take advantage of this silver tsunami of seniors. We are teaching people how to open their own homes and turn a crisis into an opportunity to do good and do well. You're going to get involved one way or another.The question is, what are you going to do about it?
