These well-to-do  VIP Concierge clients can afford to pay privately for long-term care geriatric care management and private duty home care because they are financially in the upper 10% of the economy. Long-term care is not covered by Medicare, so only these wealthy Americans can pay for it.

Want To Start a Profitable New Geriatric Care Management Business?

May 13, 2022

Want to Start a new geriatric care management business?

A new geriatric care management business can be started by an RN, social worker, someone in the health field, or anyone with dreams to become an entrepreneur.

But what skills do you need? Your entrepreneurial care management dream must spring from the intersection of three streams: your passion, your competence, and market opportunity. To start a geriatric care management business, the adage to “know thyself” becomes critical. Are you passionate about geriatric care management? You will need passion to sustain you when the situation gets tough—which it does in all beginning businesses. You must have the core competence both to be a geriatric care manager (GCM) and to run a business. But good GCMs with no business acumen, which is often the case, frequently fail in business. 

Is Starting a New geriatric Care Management Business a Good Choice for You?

To start of new geriatric care management business you need market opportunity this is a business skill. In other words, are there enough people in the top 10% of the area plus third parties who will refer to you like elder law attorneys, concierge physicians, and unscale assisted living you serve to have a”market” to have sales and generate a profit? If very few older people in the upper 10% live in your services area, you may not be in the right place to start a new geriatric care management business. If 10 other GCMs are practicing in your town, the

An entrepreneur geriatric care management business?

competition may limit your own market opportunity.  You find out by doing a competition survey Finally, you need to assess why you want to start this type of business in the first place. Are you motivated by the financial gains? by community recognition? by a need to make a difference? 

In a New Geriatric Care Management Business

You Have To Know Cash Flow

An entrepreneur care management business owner must understand billing and cash flow.  This is another key business skill needed by a care manager. Without this knowledge, you will fail like 50% of new businesses do. Along with this, you have to understand how to bill 85% of your care manager’s time to stop cash flow from putting you out of the business. This leads to overall financial forecasting skills. When do you break even, when can you hire a new care manager and afford to stop being a solo practitioner who wears so many hats you are crushed by the weight.
