Completing a detailed market feasibility study for your proposed Nursing Home or Assisted Living project is one of the first steps in the process of launching any significant new service line, facility expansion, or new facility development. It is the investigation that either uncovers the potential for success or the likelihood of failure for the anticipated project. To that end, having the right expertise to properly assess the project is critical to the decision-making process of whether to move forward, and if so how to do so in the most successful way.
Your Nursing Home or Assisted Living project may need to identify and analyze critical factors such as …
- Local acute hospital discharge data
- Competitive analysis
- Special programming options
- Demand for Skilled Nursing (SNF) or Assisted Living (ALF) beds
- Construction site analysis or identification
- Estimated square footage requirement
- Area demographics
- Facility construction cost per square foot
- Staffing requirements based on programming (private pay, Medicare, high acuity sub-acute)
- Support services requirements
- Administrative overhead costs
- Detailed financial pro forma and cash flow projections
