The Challenge RCFE Owners Face
Running a Residential Care Facility is more than a job—it's a mission. But after years of licensing audits, staffing challenges, and razor-thin margins, one question remains:
"When I'm done caring for others, who will care for me?"
Without the right structure, a single lawsuit, tax hit, or market downturn can erode everything you've sacrificed to build.
Warren Edward Buffett phrased it best, "What If…Then What", his investment philosophy and risk management practices heavily incorporate the idea of considering potential scenarios and their implications.
