Residential Assisted Living

[Kyle Mitchell]

Hey BP,

Anyone here doing Residential Assisted Living? I'm looking into it and would love someone to bounce ideas off of.

Thanks,

Kyle

Thanks @Shane H.!  I will definitely look into this and try to attend.  Have you by chance heard of the Residential Assisted Living Academy out of Arizona hosted by Gene Gaurino?

Yes I have - he seems like a nice guy. I learned the industry (still have LOTS to learn) by exposure from my wife (she had been a CMA/CNA for a # of years) and then seeking out someone who had started an assisted living business and spending some time with them (connect with them via biggerpockets) And by taking the leap.

I've definitely never been happier and it's pretty fulfilling as well - the residents really do depend on you for a lot and are very grateful - much different to experience graciousness from folks compared to what I was doing (insurance claims where everyone was angry all the time - it had wore me out...my insurance experience has come in pretty handy though as we try to navigate and specialize in medicaid payers)
