Tips for Starting a Elder Care Business in Kentucky

State licensing for assisted living takes 6-12 months and involves facility inspections, staffing plans, and background checks. Start early.
Staffing is your #1 cost and #1 challenge. CNA turnover runs 50-75% annually in most markets. Budget for constant recruiting.
Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement rates vary by state. Some states pay well. Others don't cover costs. Know your state's rates before committing.
Start small. A residential care home (6-8 beds) requires far less capital than a 50-bed facility and lets you prove your model.
