"I can't say enough wonderful things about Carline and the team at Florida Assisted Living Consulting! I first met Carline in April when I was just getting started on my journey to open an assisted living facility. From the very beginning, she connected me with the right people and resources and immediately helped me navigate what felt like an overwhelming process. Carline worked closely with me and my realtor every step of the way, from helping me find the right property, to navigating the zoning process and getting my zoning verification letter in June, all the way through closing on my property in July. Her guidance and support made such a difference during a process that can feel complicated and stressful. Now we're on our way toward getting licensed, and Carline and her team continue to be incredibly helpful, responsive, knowledgeable, and supportive. It gives me so much comfort knowing that I have the right people in my corner and that I'm in good hands. If you're considering opening an assisted living facility in Florida, I highly recommend Carline and Florida Assisted Living Consulting."

Loveleen

"I cannot say enough positive things about my consultant Carline and mentor. Her guidance was instrumental in helping me successfully open my Assisted Living Facility. Even after becoming licensed, she continues to be available to answer questions and provide support whenever needed. One of the most valuable resources Carline offers is the Thriving Circle. As new ALF owners quickly learn, obtaining a license is just the beginning. The Thriving Circle provides ongoing education, mentorship, and a supportive community of professionals who understand the journey. I highly recommend Carline's services and the Thriving Circle to anyone looking to start or grow an Assisted Living Facility."

Tracy

"Working with Florida Assisted Living Consulting was one of the best decisions I made during my ALF journey. Carline and her team provided knowledgeable, professional, and timely guidance every step of the way. Whether it was licensing, compliance questions, operational support, or simply understanding the next steps, they were always available and willing to help. Their expertise made what can be a very overwhelming process much easier to navigate. I truly appreciate their dedication, attention to detail, and genuine commitment to helping assisted living providers succeed."

Mura

"Florida Assisted Living Consulting has been a Breath of Fresh Air for our Business. We started our ALF journey trying to do everything on our own and kept on hitting road blocks and bumps on the road. Carline and her staff were AMAZING and helped us reach the finish line with a Successful Licensing Inspection in the Very First Try. We are more than elated and refer anyone in need of her services to Florida Assisted Living Consulting."

Lea

"I have had such a positive experience being both a speaker and an attendee. I have been genuinely impressed by the professionalism, organization, warmth, and follow-through of the entire team. The conferences create a meaningful space for learning, collaboration, and connection among professionals who truly care about improving the quality of care within assisted living communities. As a speaker, I felt welcomed, supported, and respected. As an attendee, I left feeling enriched and inspired. You can feel the heart behind the work they are doing."

Valencie

"I really admire how lenient and considerate Ms. Carline has always been with me throughout my process with Medicaid and through helping me structure my business, alongside getting through any difficult task through her kind character. She is also a person of punctuality as she continuously showed up for me when I needed the assistance, always ready to explain everything with clarity and discernment."

Laurette

"Carline and her work have truly blessed my life. Without her assistance, I wouldn't be the proud owner of an ALF. She has consistently been incredibly helpful, offering prayers, empathy, and compassion. I've never encountered anyone like her, and she's truly a blessing! I love her and her staff is amazing!"

LaToya

"Carline and her team have an amazing ability to bring together licensing, real estate knowledge and networking to truly help individuals launch fully operational Assisted Living Facilities.

Janette

"I am deeply grateful to Carline and her team for their exceptional wisdom and detail-oriented approach to providing a true one-stop service.

I highly encourage anyone in the long-term care industry to attend both the Conference and the Mastermind, it is truly an extraordinary experience!"

Licensing and zoning

"I recently had the pleasure of using Carline Cadet to spearhead the entire licensing process and assist with opening my 6 Bedroom Assisted Living Facility. The quality of her work was outstanding. Her meticulous attention to detail truly set her apart and surpassed my expectations. I am now Licensed and ready to deliver High Quality Care!"

Kelvin

"Carline is the best ALF mentor ever! She's extremely knowledgeable and she cares so much you would think she's running the business with you. I would highly recommend her to anyone!"

Rey

"Hi Carline, we passed our inspection! The inspector even said that if my facility looks like this every time she comes in, I'll never have a problem with them."

Ruth

"I appreciate you Carline for doing your homework and helping my spouse and I to get started on this journey. Because of you and your attention to details it has been a smooth process for us. Your positive energy, huge smile, confidence, and expertise has played a vital part in this amazing journey. Thank you, we are almost there."

Joseph

"Working with Mrs. Cadet and the entire staff of Florida Assisted Living Consulting Team has been nothing short of AMAZING. I went from having a Vision to a Full Blown Licensed Assisted Living Facility Administrator in the matter of a year. The entire process was well laid out through emails and phone calls which eased all of my anxiety and doubt that my dreams would ever come true."

Lea

"She's the absolute best! If you have questions about what to expect, reach out to Carline."

Romica

"Ms. Carline is not my mentor yet, and she didn't pay me to express this. So far, I think she's the most generous person willing to help in this community. Despite not being my mentor, she always makes an effort to help me whenever I have a question."

Nerlande

"I can attest to Carline's character. She is truly a blessing to so many of us. I pray she always keeps the beautiful character God has blessed her with."

Tracy

Training, courses and books

"I paid a lot of money for an ALF Core Training course from a company I found online. After I paid, they sent me the materials by email, and that was it. No support. I felt completely alone. Then, by the grace of God, I came across Carline Cadet on Instagram. I reached out to her, and she responded right away! Every time I had a question, she was there for me. Thanks to her support, I went into my exam feeling confident and I passed!!!"

Sandra

"Hi Carline, exciting news! I PASSED my ALF exam. I got the result last night and I am so excited to dive into the ALF world and soak up everything at this conference!"

Shereeka

"Thank you for sharing your knowledge about the business. I'm happy to say I passed my state exam back in November. Your support made all the difference!"

Royal

"This course was amazing! Carline and her team did an excellent job of creating a comprehensive and much-needed course. I had no prior knowledge about Assisted Living Facilities, but now I feel fully prepared to begin converting one of our properties. I highly recommend this course!"

Patrick

"Taking the course was an absolute game-changer for me. The depth of knowledge and practical guidance provided throughout the course was exceptional. It not only saved me considerable time but also prevented potential pitfalls and mistakes I might have made otherwise. The investment in this course was worth every penny."

Ralph

"Your course, ALF Opening Course: From Scratch to Success, effectively guides beginners through the process of starting a Residential Assisted Living Facility. The simplified approach and cost-saving strategies are strong points. The course also fosters community, showcases success stories, and provides regulatory guidance."

Miller

"I had been looking into ALFs for a few weeks and even attended a 5-day Masterclass, but by the third day I realized it was more of an advertisement to join their franchise in Arizona, and I live in Florida. A few days later, I stumbled on one of Carline's YouTube videos and it felt God-sent. Since then, I've watched many of her videos, downloaded her workbooks, and gained valuable information to start my research. She gave me the clarity I was missing."

Jennylea

"An Inspiring Blueprint for Success. This book is an invaluable guide that offers a detailed, step-by-step account of how the author embarked on the remarkable journey of creating an Assisted Living Facility right from a residential area. The insights shared provide a clear roadmap for anyone interested in venturing into this fulfilling endeavor."

Grace

"This book will be a big help for some who are currently taking the ALF CORE competency tests. The Author is transparent about this step-by-step process and makes you feel that you too can get started by avoiding making the mistakes that the Author made. The book is worth every penny. You won't regret it. No hidden secret."

Lucy

"I really enjoyed reading this book. It was interactive with easy to understand graphics. I think this is a great book for anyone opening their first ALF and need an all inclusive resource."

Becka

"As an ALF owner, I absolutely love books focused on the importance of how to open a 2nd ALF. Beautiful work! If you are interested in getting your license and improvements, read that book."

Tineshia

"You explain everything so well, Mrs. Carline Cadet Francois."
