RCFE Valuation Guide

How Board and Care homes are priced — real property value, EBITDA multiples, and what actually moves the number.

The short answer

A Board and Care home's value comes from two places: what the real estate is worth on its own, and — if you're selling the operating business along with it — what the business itself earns. I price both pieces separately, then combine them into one defensible number, so you know exactly where your value is coming from.

Real property value

This is standard real estate valuation — comparable sales of similar-use residential properties along the Central Coast, adjusted for the home's licensed capacity, layout, and any care-specific improvements (accessibility features, fire and life-safety systems). If you're selling the home only, without the business, this is your primary number.

Business value (home + business sales)

If you're selling the operating business along with the home, I also value the business itself — using adjusted EBITDA (the home's true operating profit, after normalizing for owner-specific expenses) and an appropriate multiple based on facility size, occupancy stability, and license type. This is added to — not blended into — the real property value, so you can see both numbers clearly.

What drives the number up or down

- Occupancy trend — how full the home has stayed over time, and whether that's been stable, growing, or declining
- License type and capacity — RCFE licensing tier and bed count directly affect staffing ratios and what a buyer can do with the home under Title 22
- Physical condition — the home and its core systems, and how close it is to current Title 22 standards
- Contracts and staffing — whether care and vendor agreements are stable and transferable
What I don't do

I don't sell facility licenses or business goodwill on their own. Every transaction I broker is either the home itself, or the home together with the operating business — never a license-only sale.
