We designed this experience for 3 types of people:

You're serious about starting an RCFE but don't know where to begin... or how to do it without costly mistakes. This is your starting line.

You've taken the first steps but feel stuck, overwhelmed, or like you're figuring it out alone. We'll get you unstuck and moving.

You have a home that runs. Now you want more... more revenue, better systems, and a clear path to your next location.

Amanda and Boris Palomino have spent over a decade owning and operating residential senior care facilities in California. They’ve gone through every step you’re about to take: licensing, compliance, staffing, daily operations, and filling beds. Now they’re breaking it all down for you.
As official Associate Partners of the RCFE Association, their training is aligned with the standards California expects from real operators.
So instead of guessing your way through the process, you’re learning directly from people who have already built profitable, purpose-driven senior care homes.

What Makes This Different:
This is not just us teaching. You'll hear directly from one of our top referral partners — the people who actually control placement flow into your homes.
They’ll break down:
What makes a home stand out instantly
Why some homes stay full (and others don’t)
Real marketing strategies that drive consistent referrals
What families and agents are actually looking for
This is the side of the business most people never get access to.
What You'll Walk Away With:
A personalized roadmap tailored to where you are right now
Proven systems you can plug into your business immediately
Insider knowledge on how referrals actually flow, straight from the source
Real relationships with operators and experts who are doing it at a high level
Hear from real people who have worked directly with Amanda and Boris Palomino — and what happens when you get in the room with the right operators.
You don't need to be licensed or already operating — but you do need to be serious. This isn't for people who are casually curious. If you're committed to starting, growing, or scaling an RCFE and ready to take real action, this room was built for you.
We're keeping it at 16 seats maximum. This is intentional — the small group format is what makes the hot seats, conversations, and direct access to speakers actually possible.
This event is hosted by Amanda and Boris Palomino — active RCFE owners and operators who have built and scaled in this space, with over 100+ students they've mentored in California. You're learning from people who are doing it, not just teaching it.
No. This is an in-person, intimate experience. The conversations, hot seats, and connections that happen in the room stay in the room.
There will be no better place for you to be at. You'll get live, direct feedback on your specific situation from the hosts and experts in the room, as well as other operators who may be going through the situations as you.
Absolutely. We're going to be discussing profitability, systems, and scaling — specifically enriching for owners who want to grow beyond their first location.
