How to start in the elderly care industry

First of all, we have objective conditions for doing this business: there is an idle two-story building with good facilities and a row of newly built bungalows. The place where it is located has beautiful mountains and clear waters, which is very suitable for a quiet rural life. In the early days, we had some fruit trees and greenery here. We also built a fish pond and a small reservoir for the convenience of watering. It is very convenient for planting, picking and fishing. We think it is a pity that such a good place is idle.

On the other hand, it comes from our own preferences. As I get older, my requirements for life are different. I am tired of the noise, so I want to live with a group of people who share the same hobbies: planting trees and vegetables, growing food, fishing and going to the sea for entertainment, and living a quiet and interesting life after retirement. .

What we are dealing with are retired elderly people in first- and second-tier cities. They can live year-round or seasonally, but they must be able to live independently. We only discovered the market demand after an investigation: many elderly people from other places like Rongcheng, but staying in hotels is expensive and inconvenient. Many people rent in nursing homes. Everyone who visited our villa liked it very much!

You can’t just “take a look” and “think about it” behind closed doors, but you must go to the market and industry practitioners in person to understand what positions the industry will recruit and what the requirements are.

Nursing homes not only have directors and nursing staff, but also finance, personnel, maintenance, chefs, purchasing, nurses, social workers, activity specialists, geriatric ability assessors...

Required If you want to change careers and enter this industry, the easiest way is to continue your job across industries. For example, you used to work in the manufacturing IT industry, personnel and financial maintenance, and now you switch to the elderly care industry. What is relatively difficult is to change jobs across industries, starting as a nursing home worker.

The difficulty with the latter is not that it is difficult to pass the qualification test for elderly care workers. The more difficult problem is the gap in personal awareness. Being an elderly care worker is an ordinary job that can create some social value and earn some income from social division of labor. But in real life, many people regard it as a low-level job and a desperate choice.

It is difficult to change actions if consciousness remains unchanged. What’s more, you haven’t taken any actual action yet!

If you are really optimistic and agree with it, just use your job hunting actions to prove it.
