Most assisted living homes just warehouse elderly people until they die.
We’re getting them healthy enough to move back HOME.
In 9 years, 8 people moved back to independent living.
Here's what we’re doing differently:

The world desperately needs new antibiotics but, in the face of scientific and financial hurdles, the number of potential drugs in the pipeline has dwindled. Despite this, some are hoping to revive the field and take on one of the biggest health challenges facing humanity
Federal authorities arrested the CEO of a Fresno-based home health care company at San Francisco International Airport as he attempted to board a flight to Nigeria, the U.S. Attorney’s Office announced.
Antioch resident Cashmir Chinedu Luke was taken into custody under allegations that he fraudulently obtained more than $7 million from the Department of Veterans Affairs. The U.S. Attorney’s Office did not specify when the arrest took place. He is accused of submitting “approximately 10,000 individual false claims” under his company Four Corners Health LLC for veteran home-care services that were never rendered, according to the Department of Justice.
You've got to adopt elderly people.
Years ago I came across this elderly couple that had been taken for a ride by a roofing company. The whole gamut: charged too much and the roofers just bailed on the job with about 20% to go.
The couple had initially threatened to sue and some big shot assistant to the regional manager came out and told them in essence "We have endless funds for lawyers and a lot of small print in the contract, so drop it".
That much was true.
What the company didn't have was me, a man of the people.
So I did what anyone would do: climbed up on the roof and took copious video and photos of the monkey carnival job the company had done and started blasting it as a series to the local Facebook Marketplace.
And within a week, the company was willing to send a check for labor and material for me to finish their job, if I would just stop.
Which we accepted, so long as they added me as a subcontractor to assess and fix other jobs they did (at a premium).
The blowback was so bad that the whole regional office got whitewashed. All new people came in to fix the confidence game that group had been running.
And sometimes the elderly couple still call me about a random leak in that roof.
Sometimes, you've got to be their huckleberry.
You can just do things, anon.
The world isn’t a friendly place. Sometimes, good men have to do difficult things, so that bad men can’t do worse things. The fact that you are free to feel sorry for the bad men, is proof that you’ve been sheltered by the good men. Reality has no regard for feelings, though.
