Matt Faircloth interviews Todd Dexheimer, a multifamily and assisted living operator focused on steady, fundamentals-driven investing. Todd breaks down how he thinks about market selection—favoring job and population growth, sane rent-to-income ratios, and controlled new supply over “sexy” boom-bust metros. He then walks through a massive 99-unit value-add on the Mississippi River in the Twin Cities, where he transformed a mismanaged, dated asset into a lifestyle property with standout amenities and stronger rents. Todd also shares the hard lessons from scaling into assisted living—losing seven figures before dialing in operations—and why controlling payroll, culture, and leadership are everything in that business.

WisBusiness: the Podcast with Mike Pochowski, Wisconsin Assisted Living Association by wispolitics

Being a family caregiver takes practical advice and solutions for support. It's more than saying you can't pour from an empty cup.No matter where you're at in your caregiving journey, the right resources, support, and advice can make your caregiving experience successful.Support is CrucialIf you know a caregiver, offer more than a blanket statement of support. Be specific about your offer. Support groups are also a great way for caregivers to find support with people going through a similar experience. Even a listening ear goes a long way.Balance is KeyAs a family caregiver, you really do have to take care of yourself. Find ways to prioritize things that take care of you without feeling guilty. Try managing your nutrition and hydration, maintaining your social activities, and keeping up with some of the things that make you feel like yourself.Know the Warning Signs of BurnoutBurnout can't always be prevented, but knowing the warning signs can help you address it when it happens. From impatience and irritability to insomnia and getting sick, it's important to recognize burnout in yourself or a caregiver you know.Respite and Senior Living can Offer Rest and Peace of MindSometimes caregivers need a break or family caregiving is no longer the best option. Respite stays and senior living are here to offer caregivers rest and peace of mind, whether it's for a week or long term. Looking for resources for yourself or a caregiver you know? The Ohio Masonic Communities Resource Center is here to offer support to older adults and caregivers. Give them a call at 1-877-881-1623 or visit https://omcresourcecenter.org/. The Ohio Masonic Communities' Here to Help guides cover everything from what Alzheimer's is to what senior living community and contract types exist and more.

When aging parents say, “I'm fine right here,” or “I don't need help,” — what do you do next? In this week's episode of Aging Starts Now, host Debra King, Elder Care Coordinator and Licensed Clinical Social Worker at Johnson McGinnis Elder Care Law & Estate Planning, dives into one of the toughest family conversations: when loved ones resist the idea of moving to an assisted living community. Joined by fellow elder care coordinator Pati Bedwell, Debra explores:

A subcontractor in Orange County had a dispute with their client, an animal hospital, claiming the owners of the hospital didn’t pay him. So, the contractor returned to the job site and completely destroyed the new concrete car park using a hydraulic jackhammer. To more on the recent $102 million crown jewel heist at the Louvre in Paris, it’s been revealed that the museum’s video surveillance system password was “Louvre.” Toyota, Lexus and Subaru owners are facing recalls to the tune of 1 million vehicles. A museum in France that exhibits vehicles from movies is selling off its stock to lucky cinephiles with cash to spare. At some fast-food chains, the code “six seven” means you get a discount. Sadly, us oldies don't understand what “6-7” means. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Show Notes / SummaryWhy launch hospice now: continuity, fewer hospitalizations, value-based alignmentClarifying myths: CNA hours on hospice, attending provider still leads careRAF & staffing logic: ~$6k/mo hospice per diem ↔ RAF ~5; translating RAF → weekly CNA/CHW hoursNurse incentives: $150 per admission; double telehealth-assist credit on hospice patientsSoftware + workflow: Athena ↔ WellSky (care plans, documentation, pull-through)Facility model: converting buildings; estimating FTEs from hospice census + RAFChaplain/social work: leverage in-region LSWs; connect to patient's faith communityRespite options: Medicare respite/GIP + GUIDE program for dementia (up to $2,500yr)Therapy as palliative strength: weekly PTA/COTA; telehealth supportAfter-hours model: optional call, $300 RN death/critical visit; $150 for non-nurse critical checksGuardrails: clinical judgment first; financials inform—not dictate—care www.YourHealth.Org

Thinking about moving a parent into assisted living? You're not alone — and it's okay to feel overwhelmed. On the latest episode of Aging Starts Now, Elder Care Coordinators Pati Bedwell and Debra King share what to expect — emotionally, practically, and financially — so you can make confident, compassionate choices.

Key Takeaways (for on-air recap & social)Presence prevents: Being in the building daily beats any remote administrative stack.Rituals > heroics: Small, repeatable actions (exercise + vitals + lunch checks) compound.Caregivers stabilize: A modest weekly schedule creates 40 hours of reliable on-site support.Therapy cadence matters: Spread the care; keep people moving longer to reduce falls.Document to decide: Specific behavioral notes → faster NP decisions → fewer crises.Mission creates growth: Aligning to “no hospitalizations” reduces noise and increases referrals. www.YourHealth.Org

Are you a veteran or spouse worried about paying for long-term care? Get the most out of your VA benefits so you can afford the care you need and deserve. Even if you've planned for retirement, assisted living, skilled nursing care, and at-home care can be expensive. With VA programs like pension, aid and attendance, housebound allowance, and compensation, the care you or your spouse needs can become more affordable.Talk to a representative from your local Veterans Affairs office or Veterans Service office to make sure you're maximizing your retirement benefits. They can help you understand what services you are eligible for, connect you with other resources in the community, and make navigating application processes easier for you.It's never too late to start planning and saving for retirement, but the earlier you start the better. The military even has financial planners available to you if you're still serving. Be sure to take advantage of the benefits available to you while you're active duty and as a veteran so you can afford to retire when you want.In Ohio?

This is the beginning of our 6th year!!! This week, Diane interviews Jason Dutra with BuddyIns again.   We discuss tax-benefits of worksite LTC insurance and hybrid life/LTC worksite plans. How are these plan offerings different than other group benefits that employers offer? How can employers use group life/LTC plans to show how much they care about their employees? When employees know their employer cares about them and their families, they are more productive.  Everyone is happier, and employee retention is strong. If you are a business owner with at least 3 employees, there are worksite LTC plans available for you to consider.  These plans have guaranteed issue rights, so no medical questions to qualify. If you are an employee and have been declined for LTC, you can ask your employer if they would consider offering this benefit to some or all the people who work there. Schedule some time with me to explore options

Eliezer Sobel is first and foremost a son: his mother passed after being in her 20th year of Alzheimer's, and his late father passed away at 93 following a Traumatic Brain Injury and subsequent dementia after falling down a stairwell. Eliezer and his wife Shari Cordon moved in with his parents that same night and have managed their care ever since. He is the author of one of the first series of books designed for Alzheimer's and dementia patients: Blue Sky, White Clouds: A Book for Memory-Challenged Adults and is also the author of numerous other books, blogs for PsychologyToday.com. https://www.seniorcareauthority.com/resources/boomers-today/

This week, after hearing from a client who wishes she would have bought more insurance a decade ago, Diane shares decisions that others have made in the past and now regret it. These people, if they had thought through their decisions before making them, could have ended up with much better outcomes.   When planning to provide for ourselves and protect our families, we need to take action.  And we need to not skip the small things.  The small things in these stories would have made all the difference. We all have a plan for our own future long term care needs.  Some will just let things happen and will end up being "put" somewhere.  Those who proactively seek solutions end up with much better choices later on. You can view both current and projected costs of home care, assisted living, and nursing home care where you live or plan to live I recommend you use 5% inflation on care as that's what we've seen for three decades. Then schedule a phone or zoom meeting to start designing your plan Then you'll be Prepared for Tomorrow!!!

So many people want a long term care plan with all the bells and whistles.  They want a plan that will pay for everything that could ever happen.  These plans are often priced higher than a budget allows. Why do people state that they want no coverage if they can't get the best plan out there? We don't do this anywhere but with LTC insurance. Do we not own a car because we can't afford a Tesla? No. Do we not eat because we can't afford the steak? No. When I work wit you, we work together to determine how much risk is both acceptable and affordable. There are plans offered to people on a stricter budget.  There are plans that accept medical concerns that other plans don't accept.  There are plans offered to age 89 in some states. Listen and then scheudle some time to work through this together

This investor generates $30,000 per month in rental income from a single property. It's not a short-term rental, or a beachside Airbnb, or anything even close to that. Within a couple of years of starting to scale, James Davis has a rental portfolio on track to gross $1,000,000 per year in rents, from just six properties. The best part? He's not even doing it for the money. His investments are making lives better while securing him financial freedom. You may have heard of assisted living before, but probably not like this. While many assisted living facilities focus on older adults, James owns small assisted living properties that cater to individuals with disabilities. After taking on two traditional real estate deals, James's brother, who worked in disability services, thought they could be treating residents better. So, they converted one of James's properties into a compliant assisted living facility. They got their first monthly tenant—the rent: $15,000 per month for one bedroom. Sounds steep, right? James walks through the entire expenses and profit margins to prove that the caregiving business may be worthwhile, even just for the emotional benefits. Now, he has six properties and has already pulled in $500,000 just halfway through the year. Follow the same steps James shares in this episode, and your portfolio could grow just as fast. In This Episode We Cover How James went from making $16/hour to bringing in $1,000,000/year in rents How much assisted living investment properties make (cash flow!) Locking down a 3.5% interest rate using the creative “subject to” strategy  The process of becoming legally compliant for running an assisted living property  Why James still buys long-term rentals instead of more assisted living properties  And So Much More!
