(Miami, FL) – September 22, 2016 – The leader of Innovation Senior Management (ISM) has seen the Assisted Living and Healthcare sectors grow at a record pace, but with more than 20 years of experience in 23 states, she knows many owners and investors need guidance. Her operation plan is to create 150 new jobs in Miami-Dade County in the next three years and spend more than $100,000 in capital investment during that time.
«There is a real need for more quality assisted living facilities,» said Pilar Carvajal, CEO of Innovation Senior Management. «The valuations of assisted living facilities are driven by the management company. Baby boomers demand will be smarter and more advanced. The key to success in this industry will be investors and owners who choose their markets and managers wisely.»
Carvajal and her management company opened their office on Meridian Avenue in Miami Beach providing strategic planning for investors, operators and owners in, or wishing to enter, the assisted living market. ISM offers a full suite of management services for acquisitions, conversions and new construction assisted living projects in the State of Florida.
Miami-Dade’s Beacon Council assisted Innovation Senior Management by informing and advising about accessing local and state incentives. The Council’s economic development experts also helped them find office space; provided counseling about which financial resources are available; supplied research and marketing information along with business contacts and furnished the company with information about the local labor pool and training options.
«The Health Care sector is one of our key growth industries in Miami-Dade County,» said Miami-Dade Beacon Council President & CEO Larry K. Williams. «The real satisfaction in what we do is helping a company providing an important service, like Innovation Senior Management, grow and thrive. Many individuals will benefit with the success of this operation.»
Carvajal is a graduate of the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program. The program is geared at helping entrepreneurs create jobs and economic opportunity by providing them access to education, capital and business support services.
