Vera  /  Advisory
Vera Advisory · From the people doing the work

For the people building, buying, or scaling senior living.

Three engagement archetypes — acquirers doing CHOW, greenfield builders, and chain operators standardizing. We help you through the regulatory and operational doors that stop most senior-housing projects — then we hand off and walk away.

What we do
Find buildings · develop them · transition them · hand operations off
What we don't do
Operate ongoing · hold your license · take an open-ended fee
Three engagement archetypes · pick the one that fits

Three doorways. Each project-bound, dated, finite.

Vera Advisory engagements are clean projects with a defined scope. We take you from a problem to a working ALF (or a working portfolio), and then we’re done.

V
01 · For Acquirers

CHOW + License Transfer

You bought (or you’re buying) an existing ALF. The license needs to come with you, and the residents need continuity.

  • AHCA change-of-ownership (CHOW) application
  • Due-diligence on existing license · survey history · tag history
  • Transition operating plan · staff retention · resident continuity
  • Day-1 readiness package · first-30-day playbook
  • Specialty endorsement carry-over (ECC, LNS, LMH) if applicable
Typical scope
90 — 180 days · closed at AHCA CHOW approval
V
02 · For Builders

Greenfield + License Pathway

Building NEW senior housing — empty plot, empty building, or shell-in-progress. You want an operational ALF and don’t want to learn AHCA from scratch.

  • New-facility AHCA licensure (initial license application)
  • Life-safety, zoning, building-code path
  • Policy & procedure pack · 1823 workflow standup
  • Staffing model · opening playbook · first-30-day plan
  • Specialty endorsement strategy if you want ECC / LNS / LMH at open
Typical scope
6 — 14 months · closed at first resident move-in
V
03 · For Chain Operators

Standardize + Remote Management

You run 2–10 facilities. You want one playbook across the portfolio — or want to add Vera’s remote-management tier without growing your back-office.

  • Cross-facility operating standards · one playbook, every property
  • Remote-management tier · Vera handles partial-bed inventory across host ALFs
  • Compliance & 1823 workflow standardization
  • Staff certification & training programs · portable across properties
  • Acquisition-readiness pack · spin up new properties on the standard
Typical scope
90 — 270 days · closed at standards live across the portfolio
How we work · the engagement shape

Four steps. Then we’re done.

01

Scope conversation

One call. We name what you’re trying to do, what the regulatory path looks like, what timeline is realistic. No fee.

02

Engagement letter

Fixed scope, fixed timeline, fixed fee. No open-ended retainers. The deliverable is named on paper.

03

Execution

Weekly check-ins. Direct line to the person doing the work. AHCA filings, life-safety walkthroughs, policy drafting — whatever the scope requires.

04

Hand-off

License in hand or doors open. We close the engagement, transfer everything to you (or to your operator), and walk away. Optional ongoing management via Vera Healthcare FL LLC if you want it.

Two real examples · from our own portfolio

How it actually played out.

Pleasant Grove and Crown Court are our own communities today, but they started as Advisory engagements. Both followed the off-load pattern — VALF originates, VHC operates.

Case 01 · Building Launch

Pleasant Grove
greenfield to operational

Starting point: empty country-setting building in Inverness.

What VALF did: sourced the property, established the business, AHCA-licensed it as a 24-bed ALF, built the operating systems.

The off-load: handed operations to Vera Healthcare FL LLC (VHC) at opening day.

Today
Pleasant Grove — by Vera · Tier 01 OPERATED · VHC holds the license
Case 02 · Ownership Transition

Crown Court
CHOW to managed

Starting point: downtown Inverness historic landmark.

What VALF did: sourced the property, made it sale-ready, helped buyers (Erica's Equities, Inc) through closing and AHCA change-of-ownership.

The off-load: CHOW didn’t complete the way we’d planned. License stayed with Erica's Equities, Inc. VHC stepped in as manager under contract.
