Questions You’re Asking — Answered Inside the Training
Stay Until the End of the Webinar for Q&A
This webinar includes clear, direct answers to the most common and important questions people like you ask when considering assisted living and group homes.
Throughout the training, I walk through real questions that have come up from attendees just like you and provide straightforward guidance based on real-world experience.
Inside the webinar, you’ll get answers to questions like:
Where Do I Start?
What Facilities Do You Help With?
How Do I Stay Compliant?
Can You Help Fill My ALF?
You'll also get answers to specific questions like:
What is the difference between a six-bed Assisted Living Facility and an ALF with more than six beds?
What are the zoning and licensing requirements to open an ALF with more than six residents?
How can I legally increase the number of residents in a house beyond six beds?
Does it financially make sense to operate a six-bed ALF versus a 10-, 12-, or larger-bed facility considering real estate, labor, and food costs?
Do you help people open Assisted Living Facilities in states other than Florida?
If I already own a home, how do I know if it can be zoned for a residential ALF?
Is zoning different for a six-bed residential ALF compared to a larger facility, such as a 23-bed ALF?
If there is already an ALF close to my property, can I still open one next door?
Would it be wise to have my daughter, who is an RN, serve as the administrator of the ALF?
Do you have a sample budget for a residential ALF?
Can a six-bed residential ALF still be profitable while paying CNAs a decent wage?
Do renovations like replacing carpet with flooring or painting require notification to AHCA before licensure?
Are security cameras allowed in an Assisted Living Facility?
If a facility is already licensed, do renovations such as flooring or painting need to be reported to AHCA?
If residents must be temporarily moved during renovations, do we need to notify AHCA?
Can I begin renovations on a property while tenants are still living in the home?
Do I need an empty building in order to obtain an ALF license?
Who installs the fire sprinkler system, the fire department or a licensed contractor?
Does the fire department need to come out to install or inspect fire safety systems?
Do resident bedrooms have to be a certain size for shared rooms?
…and many more.
These answers are woven directly into the training so you can get clarity without guessing, waiting, or searching for answers elsewhere.
This webinar is for you if:
You want to open an ALF in Florida
You feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of the next step
You want clear answers instead of vague advice

You’re serious about moving forward — not just “thinking about it”
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT
Most people try to figure this out on their own.
But:
They get overwhelmed.
They delay.
They make mistakes.
They quit before they even begin.
