Is it possible to convert a residential house into a nursing home / assisted living home?
Hello, I have a piece of property in a gated community. Its a perfect large single story home. I am caught in this terrible housing market trying to sell, and I am thinking of ways to turn this situation around, and make a positive. I was thinking of maybe converting it to an assisted living home. Placing 2 elderly who need full time care in the home, then hire a live in nurse to take care of them. Does anyone know if this is legal? Or even possible? I know I would need to put in a wheel chair ramp, and probibly bars around the toilets / showers, thats expected to meet some type of code. If I could turn this house into a side business, and beat this bad market, that would be a great situation. If anyone has any information the subject, I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you!

What do you think of nursing homes?
One woman was sharing the story of her mother that had been in and out of at least 3 local nursing homes in the last few months.A nurse told me that she worked at a local nursing care home on the weekends and that she found the people and staff to be wonderful. I think she said she “really loved working there.”A third woman told a friend she used to work in a nursing home and it was so bad she wouldn’t send a dog there.Truthfully, we all have opinions, experiences and ideas about what good care is, what it looks like and what bad care is.Some nursing homes provide good care. Others don’t. Do yourself a favor and don’t just sit back and hope your loved one is in a good one.Nursing home became known as care homes with nursing, and residential homes became known as care homes.Twenty-four hour nursing care is available to ensure that all medical needs and personal are being addressed. Nursing homes will provide short-term rehabilitative stays following a surgery, illness or injury which may require physical therapy, occupational therapy or speech-language therapy. Nursing homes offer other services such as planned activities and daily housekeeping services. Nursing homes may also be referred to as convalescent care, skilled nursing or a long term facility. Nursing homes will often times either include memory care services or have a separate area specified for memory care
Working in the kitchen of a nursing home..?
As far as job duties, it would be dependent on what the nursing home dietary supervisor would have you do. For example, there are staff in the kitchen who assist with washing dishes and taking care of dirty plates/dishes. Usually, most nursing home have dedicated cooks who only cook. While other dietary staff assist with other tasks.......taking meals to residents, taking dirty dishes back into the kitchen, cleaning the kitchen (usually housekeeping staff do not clean the main kitchen, dietary staff are responsible), dishwashing and also some nursing homes have dietary staff document intake of food for residents when the resident leaves the table. Depending on the size of the nursing home....it could be hectic. It all depends! With nursing home culture change, some nursing homes for example have gone towards open dining with extended hours; and some nursing homes take meal orders as well. If there are a lot of residents waiting for meals at the same time, it can and does sometimes get hectic at those peek times.
People caring for elderly people in nursing homes, what has your experience been? My dad...?
...was almost 96 when I had to.... finally bite the bullet, and move him out of his beloved apartment and into a home. We researched many places, and I wanted him close to me, so I found a place that was highly recommended, and had him in there for therapy after numerous falls. I lived 45 minutes away from him, and before this it was up to me, and one friend of his to care for him. He was a very cantakarous old man, and always refused anyone else from coming in. The first aide he had was wonderful, intelligent and sensitive. She didn't have to ask him if he wanted a shave, needed his toenails cut, etc. She noticed what he needed and did it. When it became obvious he wasn't going to be able to go home, they assigned him to a permanent room, with his main aide being a woman who must have had an I.Q. of minus 20. I'm not even sure if she could read, cause when I left notes they were ignored. Thankfully I was able to go there every day - go to Discussion Board to finish...
