Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York

colleagues and I are in the process of trying to convert a private residence into an Assisted Living Residence as well as start an Assisted Living program.

We are interested in servicing the developmentally disabled, mentally disabled population or Foster Children/Group Homes in the metro NY Area, starting with the Queens residence currently owned. I would like to meet with an attorney that is familiar with this initiative so we can 1) start a certified Non Profit Agency 2) the convert the privately owned residence to an assisted living facility... I would like to keep the residence private....

How do I find out if an area is over saturated for a particular Developmentally Disabled population, or any population that has a need?

The three story residence only has one level that is Wheel Chair accessible does that prevent us from being able to service the Developmentally Disabled population and can this residence be privately owned or must it be owned by a non-profit agency?

Is there an organization that I can contact in order to help gets some more information

Your question is a packed one, that requires some time.

However, I do have experiance in this area, as my partners and I started our own non profit organization, some time ago, called the destiny foundation. It is a full not for profit tax exempt organization.

Your intentions are noble, but are rather expensive to start up. If you have the capital and time, I can surely assist you.

You can call me directly at 516-314-1343 for further assistance. That number goes right to my cell phone so you can call anytime.
