My name is Kalei Stockstill. I am the President of My ALF Consultant. We offer Training, Consulting, Real Estate, and Marketing Services for Assisted Living Facilities.

As an owner-operator of a 32 bed ALF in Florida, I understand the unique challenges that Assisted Living Facilities face and offer services to meet these needs. We started the conversion of our property in 2007 and handled every aspect of planning, development, zoning, marketing, training, staffing, etc. It was almost impossible to find training for our staff in the early days and that is what spurred the creation of My ALF Training.

My ALF Training first started offering online training in 2009 with just one course. Since then, we have grown to be the largest online trainer in Florida. My ALF Training has over 20,000 users, thousands of ALF Core Trained students, and have helped hundreds of people open their own Assisted Living Facility.

We now offer commercial real estate services to help our clients buy and sell assisted living facilities.
