In California, it's very, very easy to set up a hospice. Pay $3,000, fill in some paperwork (or don't - no one checks it, ever), and you're ready to start caring for beloved parents, grandparents, sisters, brothers, aunts and uncles as they depart this world. You do get a site inspection, but don't worry - you aren't required to bring your site up to code until after you're licensed, and again, they never check - not even if there are multiple complaints.
