Plan to Profit — The Operator's Workbook

You already opened the doors. Now let’s find the money.

Plan to Profit for Operators is a profit-recovery workbook for assisted living owners whose census is fine but whose bank account doesn’t reflect the work. From a 40-year veteran who built and sold four facilities — it walks you through the six places margin hides, and ends with a 12-month plan with names and dates on it.

Inside — 22 pages:

• The Profit Health Check — a monthly snapshot + five vital signs.
• Protect & Grow the Census — empty-bed cost calculator, move-out audit, inquiry funnel.
• Rate Integrity — the care-level audit that finds unbilled care creep (the #1 silent leak).
• Labor, the Biggest Line — overtime and agency waste audit.
• Turnover Is a Profit Line — what churn really costs, then fund retention.
• The Expense Audit — the annual rebid list that pays for itself in an afternoon.
• New Revenue Without New Beds — respite, day services, and fees priced with intention.
• The 12-Month Profit Plan — quarter-by-quarter commitments + a scoreboard.
