How To Profit with Residential Assisted Living

  • Summary

  • Join host Krisha Young as she interviews Isabelle Guarino of the Residential Assisted Living National Convention (RAL NAT CON). In this insightful episode, Isabelle shares her expertise on the growing field of assisted living real estate, offering a deep dive into what makes it different from traditional nursing homes and “big box” facilities.

    Whether you're interested in the financial potential of owning RAL homes or wondering if now is the right time to get involved given economic uncertainties, this episode offers practical advice and strategic insights and is a must-listen for anyone considering expanding into the assisted living real estate sector.


    Introduction to Residential Assisted Living (00:02:03)
    Isabel Guarino explains that residential assisted living homes are single-family homes housing 6 to 16 seniors, providing the same level of care as larger facilities but with better staff-to-resident ratios of 4 or 5 to 1, compared to 30 to 1 in big box facilities. This ensures seniors receive quality care and attention.

    Isabel's Personal Connection to the Industry (00:03:43)
    Isabel shares her family's journey into the assisted living industry, which began when her grandmother needed 24/7 care. Her father, a real estate investor, realized he could own and operate an assisted living business and provide free care for her grandmother while generating cash flow. Although her grandmother passed before moving in, her father fell in love with the industry, and the family continued expanding their assisted living business.

    Financial Potential of Assisted Living Homes (00:15:16)
    Isabel provides insights into the financial potential of owning an assisted living home. With an average monthly cost of $5,500 per resident and an average of 10 residents, a home can generate $55,000 in gross monthly revenue. After expenses like mortgages ($10,000 per month) and operational costs ($35,000 per month), the owner can potentially cash flow $10,000 to $40,000 per month from a single home.

    Staffing Challenges and Solutions (00:26:51)
    Isabel acknowledges that staffing is one of the biggest challenges in the industry, with a national shortage of caregivers. She suggests that residential assisted living homes offer better working conditions with lower staff-to-resident ratios, making them more attractive to caregivers. She also discusses the potential of hiring immigrants with medical backgrounds from their home countries.

    The Role of Technology in Assisted Living (00:31:18)
    Isabel highlights the increasing role of technology in the assisted living industry, including electronic medical record systems, menu planning apps, and wearable technology that can track residents' movements, vital signs, and alert caregivers in case of emergencies.

    Location Considerations for Assisted Living Homes (00:25:02)
    When choosing a location for an assisted living home, Isabel recommends targeting areas with a high concentration of upper-middle-class residents aged 50 to 70, as they are often the decision-makers for placing loved ones in care.
    The Residential Assisted Living National Convention (RAL NatCon) (00:39:04)
    Isabel promotes the upcoming RAL NatCon conference in October 2023 in Phoenix, Arizona. The conference offers networking opportunities, educational sessions on various aspects of the assisted living industry, and insights from speakers like Kim Kiyosaki and Ed Mylett. A discount code "cashflow" is provided for listeners.
