New Beginnings

This is the first post of what I hope, will be many.  

My husband, daughter and I, are opening a new business!  This idea came about as my daughter was worried about her parent's old age and retirement. She wanted to do something or start her own business, to enable her to make enough money to help take care of us in our old age. (We have a sweet and caring daughter!) She came up with the idea for an Adult Day Care business, because she has some friends that have one in Hixson, TN (Caring Hearts, Inc.). After talking with them and getting more details, she came to us with this idea and brought it to us. 

We have been watching our retirement funds dwindle, like everyone else's, as the economy slows down.  We decided that opening a business with our daughter, would be a better investment than the stock market!  We had meetings with the owners/operators of the Caring Hearts Adult Day Care in Hixson, and decided that this is where we would invest our retirement funds!

The past several weeks have been a whirlwind of information and meetings! We hired the owners of Caring Hearts, Inc. as our consultants on our new business.  We will be working as partners with them until all of our licensing is completed and we are up and running on our own. They have been in this business now for more than 4 years so we value their expertise on getting through all the papework and forms necessary to obtain licensing!

Our daugher, Frankie, works as a Medical Equipment Marketer and has much experience in this area.  She will be doing our Marketing for us and also serve as the Day Care Director, as she has more than 13 years experience in a medical or health-related field, as well as connections with the Home Health Agencies in Dunlap.  Already, she has lined up an Interview with a CNA for us for this week! 

I will be posting more as we progress, to let you all know what is happening and then, later on, I will keep you up to date on some of our clients and day by day life in the Day Care also.   

We are so excited about this new road we are taking in our life!  We want our Adult Day Care to be top quality and to serve the elderly with the respect and dignity that they so deserve!

We are hoping to be able to open on June 1, 2010!
