From Anaheim and Santa Ana to Irvine, Huntington Beach, and Mission Viejo, Orange County's affluence supports premium assisted living, memory care, and board-and-care. I help owners sell for full value on the business, the license, and the real estate.
Orange County's affluence and demographics support premium, largely private-pay residential care.
Affluent, senior-heavy Orange County generates strong demand for assisted living, memory care, and six-bed board-and-care at premium private-pay rates. High residential real estate values add substantial real estate value to owned facilities, and buyers include care groups and investors as well as owner-operators.
Orange County buyers underwrite carefully on census, private-pay rates, and licensing. Clean financials, a strong compliance record, and a clear real estate story convert that demand into top 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.
Orange County 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 Orange County, 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, which is significant given premium OC home values, while larger communities are valued on a cap rate and per bed. Strong private-pay rates lift income. Census and licensing move the number. A valuation on your actual financials gives the real figure.
