Meet Serg Lupescu, owner and administrator of Legion Manor Assisted Living in Mesa, AZ. Before devoting his time to his assisted living home, Serg obtained a degree from Southwest Baptist University in nursing, working as a certified nurse assistant in his earlier years. Shortly after, Serg furthered his passion in the healthcare industry and pursued his goal in opening a residential assisted living home. Along his journey, Serg discovered that the industry is far more complex and that success is not easily achieved.
Through his time working in the industry he learned the tools needed to guarantee a promising business, in which he passionately wants to share with others.
After successfully developing his business, he started his YouTube channel with one goal in mind, to help others achieve their dreams of opening up their own residential assisted living home. Shortly after the launch of his YouTube channel, he noticed that there was a need in this industry and the inquiries started overflowing with questions and the search for answers.
So, he started Legion Assisted Living Academy which is designed to help individuals with the same common interest and goal of opening their very own residential assisted living home. As of recently, he started an additional branch off which is Legion Assisted Living Advisors, where he mentors students but also allows them the option to work alongside advisors to obtain their documentation needed to operate their own assisted living business.
Serg is also a Co-Founder/Managing Partner of Valley ALF Ventures, LLC, a real estate syndication firm focused on acquiring and leasing residential assisted living facilities. #entrepreneur #seniorcare #assistedliving
