Hands-on means you\u2019re in the home every day. You\u2019re watching the residents and the caregivers on a regular daily basis. You\u2019re overseeing, maybe even micromanaging the manager or maybe even being so hands on that you are the manager. I don\u2019t do it that way. I own the business. I don\u2019t want it to own me, so my job is to hire a manager. The manager\u2019s job is to hire the caregivers and then to find residents for the home and manage that relationship with the family. So if we do it properly, if we want to be hands-off, our job is to manage the manager. Can you do it hands off? Absolutely, there is no right or wrong way in those two options.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Do I have to do it in the area where I live?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another myth that I want to reveal is,\u00a0I have to do it in my own backyard. I want to encourage you to live where you want to live, but work and have your business where the numbers make sense. The reality is, if I have 10 people in my RAL home and they\u2019re paying $5,000 a month, we can make a lot of money. But if I\u2019m in a home where I can\u2019t fit 10 people and those people can only pay half that amount, that will negatively affect my profitability. Half the number of people paying 1\/2 the amount is not a good business model. So can you do it long distance? Yes. But the key to success is the right location and the right demographics.\u00a0 Next is having the right team in place.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Who do I hire to run the business if I am hands-off?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The manager is critical to your team and your success. Finding staff to work in your home or work for you or for your manager, that\u2019s easy to do. Finding the right people is the key.\u00a0 It\u2019s not just finding somebody who can fill the space. You are looking for those high-quality people who love what they do. The type of person we\u2019re talking about is typically not a mercenary, they\u2019re not just there to make a dollar. They\u2019re there because they want to be there. They love to work with seniors and this is a part of who they are, \u201ctheir calling\u201d if you will.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What should your role be?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Really your job, your function, should be to find other people who can do it as good and better than you can and then to manage those people. You can definitely be hands off. Let them do what they do best, while you do what you do best. There\u2019s no reason to do this just to create a job for yourself.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Be sure to subscribe to our iTunes podcast to listen on the go!<a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/assisted-living-networks-podcast\/id1360517721?mt=2\">[CLICK HERE]<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/new.assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/16A.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-215\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/16A.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/16A-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/16A-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/16A-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/new.assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/16D.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-216\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/16D.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/16D-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/16D-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/16D-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/new.assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/16E.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-217\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/16E.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/16E-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/16E-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/16E-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can I do this hands-off?\u00a0 You can absolutely operate a Residential Assisted Living home and business in a hands-off manner.
