Aww, PP…

Never ever discourage someone from going after their dreams! 👍🏽[/quote]

I'm not the meanie, but I'm concerned that OP may not have thought through worst-case scenarios, or even possible bumps: what if health or weather keeps you from showing up as scheduled? How will you know what to do when something beyond your services is needed? How will you know what's beyond you? How do you prevent mission creep? What kind of insurance will you have?[/quote]

This. There used to be lawyers who made a small fortune suing ALs, nursing homes, etc. I suspect some will find a new fortune suing people creating these age in place businesses who are doing it through trial and error and posting on message boards for ideas. The same family members who need space from difficult elders, will run to sue if that elder falls while under your care or falls while waiting for the care who show up late. Or...what if you found a contractor to shovel, the person didn't do a good job, it freezes over and the elder falls outside? Sadly people aren't so folksy when it comes to eldercare or anything these days and they are quick to get litigious. You need a well thought out plan based on good research and meetings with a lawyer.[/quote]
