The founder

She ran the homes
before she built the network.

Open Bed Co was built by an owner who ran the homes and hit every wall this industry puts in front of one. This is how she got here.

Open Bed Co was not built by a software company that noticed an underserved vertical. It was built by an owner who ran the homes and hit every one of these walls herself.

Jennifer’s early exposure to long-term care came through her family, who owned care homes and strongly influenced her passion. Over the next three decades her experience spanned nearly every facet of healthcare and long-term care, from adult family homes, skilled nursing and assisted living to acute hospital care.

Jennifer Bustamante.

Real experience turned intoinfrastructure for the next generation of owners.

Built from the ground up

Her path was not polished or easy.

She started her first company with a low credit score and built forward from there.

Seventeen years of building and developing a leading care model, two care staff to five residents, now becoming a standard in adult family homes. Jen owned, operated and scaled seven successful homes, created an advanced-care model, grew the team behind it, and built a multimillion dollar residential care company.

She became a master at census management, profitability, team building, leadership development, systems creation, compliance strengthening, and scaling a company without letting growth destroy the operation behind it.

That experience exposed one of the industry’s biggest gaps: excellent caregivers are expected to become successful business owners without ever being taught how to create and run a business.

Turning caregivers into CEOs.

Jen’s real strength is identifying where someone is stuck and giving them the foundational tools they need to envision, dream and become successful.

Her mentorship has helped caregivers become owners, owners become leaders, and leaders build highly profitable and multimillion dollar businesses. She has helped people eliminate debt, strengthen their credit, build capital, create dependable teams, and take control of both their companies and their lives.

Before someone can become the CEO of a company,they must learn how to become the CEO of their own life.

That experience is what Open Bed Co is built on.
