Assisted Living Network Podcast

Are you a new assisted living owner trying to figure out the best way to price your beds? With 76 million baby boomers looking for housing, choosing the right pricing model is one of the most important decisions you will make for your business. In this episode, Isabelle from the Assisted Living Network breaks down the two primary pricing structures used in the industry today to help you decide which one fits your brand.We start by exploring the tiered or points system, which is the most common model used by large facilities. While it allows for a low entry price, the costs can fluctuate quickly as a resident needs more support for bathing, toileting, or medication. Isabelle shares why this model can sometimes feel confusing for families and how to handle it with transparency if you choose this route.Alternatively, we dive into the all-in model. This structure provides more predictability for families and can be handled in two ways: choosing a designated middle-ground rate or offering a large upfront fee to lock in a lifetime monthly rate. You will learn the math behind these options and how they can benefit both the owner and the resident in the long run by providing financial stability.Finally, we discuss the importance of market research and communication. Before setting your prices, you must understand what your local competitors are offering and ensure your rates reflect the quality of your care. Remember that families are often in a high emotional state, so over-communicating your pricing structure and documenting everything is essential for building trust and staying legal.Chapters0:00 Intro to Assisted Living Pricing Models1:45 The Tiered or Points System Explained3:30 FastTrack Training and Education4:50 Managing Pricing Re-evaluations6:05 The All-Inclusive Pricing Model7:15 Upfront Fees and Rate Guarantees8:40 Market Research and Communication TipsCheck out the link in the show notes to learn more about our 3-day FastTrack training in Phoenix and start your journey in the assisted living industry today.

Thinking about turning a multi-story house into a residential assisted living home? While single-story homes are often the go-to choice, you can absolutely make a multi-level property work with the right planning and safety equipment. In this episode, Isabelle from the Assisted Living Network breaks down exactly how to navigate the challenges of multi-level RAL properties to ensure your residents stay safe and your business stays profitable.Opening an RAL home in a two-story house requires a deep understanding of both state requirements and resident preferences. While many local residential zones might not strictly mandate an elevator, going above and beyond the bare minimum is what sets successful homes apart from the rest. We explore the critical differences between stairlifts and residential elevators, including the speed and safety advantages that elevators provide during emergency situations.You will also learn about the financial side of these upgrades. From the typical costs of installation to the specific companies like Stilts Lift and Acorn Stair Lifts, we provide a clear roadmap for your investment. We even share a cautionary tale of a homeowner who skipped the elevator and struggled with 23 empty tours before realizing how much seniors value safety and accessibility. Whether you are looking to increase your bed count or boost your property's resale value, this guide covers everything you need to know.Chapters0:00 Intro to Multi-Level RAL Homes1:35 Local Regulations and Zoning Rules2:55 Elevator vs Stairlift Comparison4:50 Recommended Companies and Pricing6:45 Pros Cons and Resident Experience8:30 Safety Benefits and Final AdviceKey Topics Covered🏠 Navigating zoning and residential requirements🚀 Why elevators are preferred over chairlifts💰 Budgeting for installation and maintenance📈 Real-world stories of RAL success🛡️ How accessibility impacts your bottom lineIf you are ready to take the next step in your RAL journey, make sure to check out our RAL Riches course for real estate agents and join us at our annual conference in Arizona.
