From Ontario and Fontana to Riverside, San Bernardino, and Moreno Valley, the Inland Empire's growing senior population and affordable homes make it a strong market for six-bed board-and-cares and assisted living. I help owners across San Bernardino and Riverside County sell for full value on the business, the license, and the real estate.
The Inland Empire's aging population and more affordable homes have made it one of the most active board-and-care markets in the region.
A large and growing senior population, combined with home prices more affordable than the coast, has produced a deep market of six-bed residential care homes across Fontana, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Moreno Valley, plus larger assisted living communities. Affordable real estate also makes the Inland Empire where many first-time owner-operators buy in.
Buyers look at census, private-pay rates, and your licensing record, and value the region's steady demand. Clean financials and a clear license and compliance picture drive the strongest offers.
An RCFE is several things in one transaction. These are the pieces I manage so your deal reaches the closing table.
Community Care Licensing approval of your buyer and the change-of-ownership process, coordinated so licensing does not stall the sale.
Occupancy, private-pay rates, and any SSI or waiver residents, the numbers that drive the facility's value.
Caregiver ratios and your certified administrator, the team and compliance a buyer must continue.
Your licensing history and inspection record, presented honestly so buyers and the state see a clean transfer.
The home or building is often central to value. Real estate is handled under my DRE license, #02372118.
Board-and-care, assisted living, or memory care. Acuity and services shape both revenue and the buyer pool.
The Inland Empire is where many buyers find their first, or their next, RCFE, and I help them buy well.
I help buyers evaluate census and payor mix, private-pay rates, the licensing and compliance history, staffing and the administrator, and the real estate across the Inland Empire, and coordinate the Community Care Licensing change-of-ownership process alongside their consultant. Whether you want a six-bed board-and-care to operate or a larger assisted living community to invest in, I will help you buy the right one at the right terms.

A six-bed board-and-care is usually valued on a multiple of seller's discretionary earnings plus the residential real estate valued separately, while larger assisted living communities are valued on a capitalization rate and per bed. Inland Empire homes are more affordable, so the real estate and the business each play a clear role. Census, private-pay rates, and your licensing record all move the number. A valuation on your actual financials gives the real figure.
Yes. A growing senior population and affordable real estate make the Inland Empire one of the most active markets for board-and-care and assisted living, drawing first-time owner-operators and care groups alike. Facilities with solid census, healthy private-pay rates, and clean licensing tend to attract competitive offers.
Yes. Six-bed residential care homes and larger assisted living or memory care communities are valued and marketed differently, one leaning on the home's real estate and the other on per-bed income and cap rate. I present each on its own strengths to the buyers most likely to pay for it.
Yes. Your sale stays confidential. The RCFE is marketed without naming the location, and every buyer is screened and signs a non-disclosure agreement before they learn which RCFE is for sale, protecting your staff, your revenue, and your standing with any brand or franchisor.
