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.
- The median income here is $116,093. That gives you pricing room most markets don't offer. Don't underprice.
