Hello Diane

My company will be opening 3-4 RCFE within about a 1-3 mile radius of
each other. My questions are:

1. If the Administrator's duties were to be focused on managing the
care givers (2-3 per 6 bed facility), providing daily care for
residents to include medication management and ensuring the
facilities are in compliance with all California regs, would you say
that the Administrator could manage 4 facilities located within the 1-
3 mile radius? I and my partners would be handling all other aspects
of the business like marketing, food purchase, general administration
etc.

2. What is your recommendation for the number of caregivers (on
average) per 6 bed facility including covering a night shift. Is it
customary to have caregivers live on premises to cover the night
shift? I know that this also depends on the kinds of services we will
be providing like dementia care etc. We would just like to know what
in general is customary and reasonable.

3. In your experience what were your average monthly food costs per
person?

Thanks Diane!

Kim
