From Thousand Oaks and Simi Valley to Camarillo, Ventura, and Oxnard, Ventura County's retirement-friendly communities support strong demand for board-and-care and assisted living. I help county owners sell for full value on the business, the license, and the real estate.
Ventura County's retirement-friendly, suburban communities make it a steady residential care market.
Senior-heavy suburbs like Thousand Oaks, Simi Valley, and Camarillo, plus the coastal communities, support strong demand for six-bed board-and-care homes and assisted living, much of it private pay. Owned homes and buildings are common, so the real estate is frequently part of the sale.
Buyers value the county's stability and demographics and underwrite on census, private-pay rates, and licensing. Clean financials and a clear compliance picture drive strong 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.
Ventura 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 Ventura 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, while larger communities are valued on a cap rate and per bed. Ventura County's strong private-pay demand supports healthy income. Census, rates, and licensing move the number. A valuation on your actual financials gives the real figure.
Yes. Retirement-friendly, affluent suburbs like Thousand Oaks and Camarillo generate strong, largely private-pay demand for board-and-care and assisted living, and buyers value that stability. Well-run facilities with clean census and licensing attract serious, capable buyers.
Generally, yes. Private-pay residents typically pay higher rates than SSI or waiver residents, which lifts income and value, and buyers view a strong private-pay base as durable. I help you present your payor mix and rates clearly so you get full credit 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.
