| I realize from your list you know it isnt as easy as it sounds, ruth. It is a very expensive start up proposition, especially when you have to have a resident doctor on board (he/she can be in practice elsewhere but dedicated to your group). Nursing homes here in Ontario have to Personal Support Workers, it is a law now and our nursing homes are pretty well government controlled, that is a good thing actually. I dont know about regulations in UK, could be they have to be Nurses' Aids. One or two RNs is essential. So when you consider the expense involved even having RNs, the expense is tremendous.
Your points re marketing/trading dont really come into the picture unless you are meaning advertising and that is a no brainer actually. Ads in the paper with invitations to visit would be suiltable.
You didnt mention equipment. You will need Hoyer Lifts, two or three, I dont know what they are called in the UK but if you google Hoyer you will see pictures. It is lifting equipment. Proper Hospital beds. Depending on how many beds you will need, you will have to have at least one spa (bathing facilities) equipped with a lift.
I think I have covered most of it. Any questions, feel free Ruth.
