Investors — Build a Care Cottage

The Opportunity

Earn Up to $1 Million Per Year in Net Profit — Semi-Passively

A 15-bed small-format nursing home providing assisted living and long-term care. Fully designed to operate with minimal owner involvement — generating institutional-grade income from a residential-scale footprint.

^$1M+

Income Potential

Annual Net Profit Potential

Based on 15-bed occupancy at assisted living & long-term care rates, with a lean staffing model and efficient operating structure.

Small Format, Big Returns

15 beds is the sweet spot — small enough to feel like home, large enough to generate serious income. Lower build cost, faster to permit and construct.

ii.

Built to Self-Operate

Systems, staffing structures, and operational frameworks designed from day one to run with minimal owner involvement.

iii.

Recession-Resistant Demand

Canada's senior population is growing faster than supply. Assisted living and LTC beds are chronically undersupplied — creating persistent, high-margin demand.

iv.

Stable, Predictable Revenue

Monthly resident fees create recurring, contracted income with low vacancy risk. Occupancy is driven by need — not preference.

Real Estate + Business Income

You benefit twice — as property owner and business operator. Land and building appreciate while the business generates annual cash flow on top.

vi.

Full Development Support

From land assessment through licensing, build, and staffing — we guide every step. No prior healthcare experience required.
