™For the people building, buying, or scaling senior living.
Fixed scope. Fixed timeline. Fixed fee.
Pick the one that fits.
Three doors — 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.
License Transfer.
You bought (or you're buying) an existing ALF. The license needs to come with you, and the residents need continuity.
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.
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.
Four steps. Then we're done.
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.
One call. We name what you're trying to do, what the regulatory path looks like, what timeline is realistic. No fee.
Fixed scope, fixed timeline, fixed fee. No open-ended retainers. The deliverable is named on paper.
Weekly check-ins. Direct line to the person doing the work. AHCA filings, life-safety walkthroughs, policy drafting — whatever the scope requires.
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.
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.
Start: 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.
Off-load: handed operations to Vera Healthcare FL LLC (VHC) at opening day.
Start: 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.
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.
