"I have been involved in Assisted Living and Skilled Nursing Facility Administration for over 30 years. I LOVE your website- the info is easy to use, and comprehensive. I typically write all of my own policies, procedures, forms etc. but since finding and joining Providers Web...I have so much more time to Direct our Operations....We have 7 licensed Homes for the Aged, Assisted Living Homes in the state of Michigan - a total of +/- 700 older persons, many with diagnoses of dementia. Just wanted to say thank you for making this information available, at such a reasonable cost!"

How to start a residential care or assisted living facility.

Hi,

If you are thinking of getting into the residential care or assisted living business for elderly, developmentally disabled or group homes for troubled teens, we can help.

The demand for care in the least restrictive environment is upon us. The need for RCFE - residential care homes for the elderly, also called assisted living - ALF is rising. With the baby boomers starting to need care, it is predicted that there will not be enough care homes to meet their needs.

Below is a list of free ProvidersWeb documents to help you get started. We have most everything you will need to complete your licensing packet. If you are a paid member and need additional help, we will assist you. For more information write: Dmorrow@providersweb.com.

The ProvidersWeb's Care Service System
This document breaks down why a resident needs care, what type of services will be provided, and how the services shall be provided. It outlines ProvidersWeb's view on what care standards need to be met. Each state has it's own standards which need to be met. In creating the ProvidersWeb's Care Service System all 50 states residential care regulations were reviewed as well as JACHO's Assisted Living Accreditation Standards, and the Federal Assisted Living Work Group's Report on the standards needed, information from the Alzheimer's Association, the American Bar Association, AARP plus much more. We believe ProvidersWeb's Care Standards meet and exceed the general consensus of what the American Public wants when it comes to care services.
