Tips for Starting a Elder Care Business in California

• 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.
• This is a rural ZIP. Your customer radius is wider, marketing costs are lower, but you'll work harder for each lead.
