This handbook is designed to help individuals and families determine the feasibility of starting a small home business providing residential home services for one or more elderly persons.

Persons interested in starting a business of this type will find this unique book a goldmine of important information.

Residential Care Services for the Elderly is a valuable decision-making tool which helps readers determine if this type of business venture is appropriate and, if so, how to start and maintain a residential care service for the elderly.

Thorough coverage of background and implementation details provides potential operators with a rationale and necessary information.

Numerous self-assessment and resource inventories in this practical handbook will guide readers in determining their areas of interests and competencies.

Opportunities for networking among state licensing/standards agencies, funding agencies, and a listing of elder care organizations and advocacy groups adds value to this time-saving resource, ensuring a quicker and more likely success.

Case studies, detailed guides, and the discussion of positive and negative aspects of being the owner of a small residential care business, based on interviews with people currently running elder care residential services, are also included.

All aspects of business operations are covered in Residential Care Services for the Elderly, including sources of funding and potential incomes; emotional and financial cost/benefit factors; parameters of organizing the business including personnel, respite care workers, need for registered nurses, and food service; special needs of clients; details of financial plans with outlines and sample forms; and variables of success and failure.

Graduate and undergraduate students taking classes in regard to gerontological business and long-term care related alternatives will also find this statistic-filled handbook a useful reference.
