Caring is a Form of Love

How to manage an assisted living facility, is the same thing as how to license a residential care, or assisted living business.  If you want to get into the business you need to know how to start an assisted living business and learn to manage the day-to-day business operations. Many entrepreneurs like managing a care facility and started their board and care home as a 6-bed care home, in their private home.  They often needed help with getting the assisted living license.  Making revenue, quality care, and risk management should be part of the help you get when getting a residential care license.  Consultants can help with the licensing process. ALF administrators can get help from RCFE administrator training, recertification classes, administrator certification class, and organizations like NCAL, ALFA, Briggs, HCPro, ASHSA, AOA, Ombudsman, Long term Care, Medicare and HUD.  It is easier to run a business when you have good management Forms, Policies, Procedures, and a great RCFE Administrator to handle business operations.  It is important they use best practices. 

ARF Administrators are always in demand at places like Brookdale, Assisted Living Concepts, Department of Aging, Manor Care, Emeritus, Aegis, Assisted living online, online training for administrators and care home management websites.  Administrators and facility managers of senior and elderly care facilities find it is a 24-hour day to manage a care facility, assisted living community, or continuing life care community.   

The technical support unit of community care licensing has some helpful documents.  The website also lists resources such as Administrator classes, training for dementia care, training for medication handling, nursing training, residential care employee management, and Inservices.  In-services is the name given to weekly training and review meetings and RCF staff meetings.  These meetings should go over the ALF Admission process.  ProvidersWeb focuses on Alzheimer’s care, steps to get a community care license, resident care, care of residents, patient care plans, decubitus prevention, bedsore prevention, and emergency care training.  Places like ALFA, NCAL may have some Alzheimers care training. In California there are associations like Assisted Living University, Community Care Options, Community Ed, RCFE Academy and Assisted Living Academy with online training programs. 

We provide important online regulatory and compliance information for different kinds of facilities such as: Assisted Living Homes, Assisted Living Facility, Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly RCFE, Residential Care Facility RCF, Community Care Licensing, Community Care Facility, Adult Residential Facilities for the Developmentally Disabled, Adult Residential Facilities for the Mentally Ill and others. 

Administrators and facility managers need help with Elder Abuse and Neglect Information, Elder Fall Precautions, Adult Fall Precautions, Dementia Care, Secured Perimeter, Elderly Residential Care Facility and Disabled Adult Residential Care Facility housing options.  In the eastern states the names for assisted living could be Supportive Housing, Board and Care, Nursing Homes, and Skilled Nursing Facilities.  

The “How to” information has been revised and updates for Administrators, Facility Managers, Medication Managers, Dietary Managers, Activity Directors, Admission Coordinators, Maintenance Supervisors, to provide tools to help them do their job.  We also help Adult Day Care facilities with Regulatory Compliance, RCFE compliance, CCF Licensing Information.  We can help with starting a Senior Care Home or ARF Homes.  We teach more than Universal Precautions, Direct Care Staff Training, Medication Aide, Direct Care Aide, and Home Health aide training.  We cover, Third Party Providers, Resident Council, Licensing Violations and Compliance and more with our Free Documents, Helpful information for assisted living facilities, Caregivers, Care-givers, Home Health Aides.  We have everything you need to help you learn how to start a  small 6-bed residential care business or large assisted living community.

Luck is Where You Find ItIncreasing Revenue Through Employee Recognition
by Diane Morrow, LNHA

Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care Homes, small 6-bed residential care homes for the elderly, developmentally disabled or mentally ill, nursing homes and large assisted living facilities all need to keep their good employees. Staff turnover is costly and dissatisfied discharged employees can harm your reputation. Besides happy employees bring in business and help retain residents. Happy employees make the residents happier.

Employers should develop Employee Recognition Policies that are sincere and equally applied to everyone. These written recognition policies should be simple, clear, immediate (most of the time) and should reinforce positive behaviors and work attitudes. Read more...

FACT: More Senior Care Homes are Needed

According to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services' Office of the Actuary the US population of those 75+ years is estimated to grow by 3.8 million by the year 2015. The current 9.6% penetration rate implies demand growth of 45,000 more senior care units per year. This means we need 45,000 more beds a year! Now is a great time to get into the senior care home business. Subscribe to ProvidersWeb now and get the tools you need to start your own business.

“Not documented, not done” is the rule of thumb when providing care. Forms, written policies, procedures, care documentation, and written proof of training are standard requirements for all care facilities. Better documentation would prevent a lot of facilities from getting sued.
