Want to open a California Residential Care Facility? We can help.
Owning and operating a Residential Care Facility can be challenging. It combines the compassion and patience of resident care with the regulation and administration of small business. We are here to support those who are called to care for others. We provide assistance with Facility Applications, Program Designs, and Code Compliance among other services.
Mandatory Posting? Application Form? Sample Documents? We have them!
When operating a Residential Care Facility, it’s necessary to comply with codes and regulations. Mandatory Postings, including Labor Postings and Licensing Regulations, are required to be posted in your facility. Let us help you stay in compliance.
Staff Training
Training topics can be delivered at our location, or at your location. Mandatory staff training hours must be completed annually. We can help provide that training for your facility.
Technology Services
With the prevalence of e-billing, necessity of cloud-backups, and maintenance of computer systems, it is necessary to embrace the technology to move forward. We can give options and set up systems to ensure you are prepared.
Need Residents?
Now that your Residential Care Facility is finally operating, do you have residents? We can discuss options to help fill those vacancies. Private Pay, Regional Centers, Hospitals, Rehabilitation Programs, and other options exist.
We want to help you be better prepared to help others.
Growing up around our family-owned Residential Care Facilities, I didn’t think I would end here. After my time in the U.S. Navy, and working as an electrician, I just didn’t have the satisfaction I thought I should have. As soon as I decided to start working full time with our residents and client population, it clicked. I was where I belonged. But it still wasn’t enough to provide good service, I wanted to help others provide good service. We want to help care providers become more effective care providers. Helping you, so you may help others. Together we can help others live more fulfilling lives.

The first step, take a deep breath! The process to opening a Residential Care Facility is a series of progressive steps. You have to be prepared to deal with potential missteps and delays. Focus and be vigilant through the process. There is a light at the end of the tunnel!
The next step is to obtain your Adult Residential Facility (ARF, ages 18-59) or Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE, 60 and older) Administrator Certification, depending on the type of facility you wish to operate. There are several state-certified vendors that provide this valuable (and required!) training. The certifications require that you attend a 35-hour course (held throughout the state) and pass a state-certified exam. During this course, you will be instructed on the policies and procedures that state requires you know to operate a Residential Care Facility.
