How difficult would it be to start a small nursing home? -

First, small is a relative term.Next, you d have to be qualified, have certification in Health Care, (probably a Master s Degree in Health Care Management)Then come the fun things:The Federal, State and County licensing boards.......Those are a TON of fun, you have to have background checks, standards checks, facility licensing fees, a facility that s going to have to be inspected by the Federal Government, State Government, and local govt. Then you re going to have to post that you re opening a nursing home, a certain time from the actual opening , once you get all the necessary permits and authorization for doing so in your locale.You ll also need:A doctor 24/7 (law here in California)A nursing staff, 1 nurse for every 5 patientsCertified/Currently Licensed Registered NursesCertified Nursing AssistantsCaregiversJanitorial staffingNutritional Panel/Food ServiceCertified/Currently Licensed Pharmacist, 24/7Social Workers/Master s Social ScienceXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX��Then, there s the Administrative side of things:AdmissionDirector of NursingOh, and the MOST fun thing of all: A legal department, with RETAINED lawyers. Nursing homes get sued MORE THAN ANY OTHER INDUSTRY. Want me to keep going?? Opening a nursing home is not just something you do on a whim .......Takes a LOT of planning, money and time and permits........Christopher K.
