What's inside
- Test an AFCH plan against what the home and the owner can actually sustain
- Document the property questions that decide feasibility
- Define who your home can safely serve — and who it can't
- Build a relief and backup coverage plan before you need one
- Calculate break-even occupancy with your own numbers
- A readiness scorecard to see where you actually stand
- A 30-day weekly readiness plan so the work has an order
Who it's for
- Florida homeowners seriously considering an adult family care home
- Operators who want the business side documented, not guessed at
- People who have read the free guide and still want to move forward
- Anyone who would rather find the dealbreaker now than after renovations
Break-even occupancy — worked example
A 5-bed AFCH with $7,000 in monthly fixed costs, $2,500 per occupied bed and $550 variable cost per occupied bed. Example only — your numbers will differ.
| Occupied beds | Revenue | Variable costs | Fixed costs | Monthly result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 beds | $7,500 | $1,650 | $7,000 | −$1,150 |
| 4 beds | $10,000 | $2,200 | $7,000 | +$800 |
| 5 beds | $12,500 | $2,750 | $7,000 | +$2,750 |
Example only
From my experience
One year I wanted to take a vacation. One week. To leave the home covered properly, I paid about $2,000 for seven days of round-the-clock relief coverage. Nobody tells you that number when you're dreaming about the business, and it's the kind of cost that decides whether a plan is real. That's why this guide makes you build a relief plan before you open, not after you're exhausted.
