Nursing Home Business Operations Plan

Nursing Home Business Operations Plan

Introduction

Where would you want to live if you needed daily assistance? In our first five years, we will establish a new kind of Elder Care model based on the idea that the elderly are fully-realized persons, with ideas, thoughts, and experiences which matter.

Objectives

For our first year, we have four financial objectives:

To rise adequate funding for start-up.

To fill all of the rooms in the main house over the course of six months.
