The founder's reality

Most founders come to us somewhere between excited and overwhelmed.

Drowning in DHCS and CDPH requirements you've never seen before?

Unsure whether your model will even pass survey?

Burned by a consultant who sold you a binder and disappeared?

Watching months and capital evaporate while the license sits in review?

That's the exact moment founders call us. GTR is the hands-on partner that takes you from first idea to licensed, accredited, survey-ready, and growing — built with you, not sold to you.

The service model

One partner for the whole arc — from first idea to a growing business.

All services
01

Start

We pressure-test your model, choose the right license type, and stand up the entity and structure underneath it — before you spend on the wrong path.

02

License & Accredit

We build the application, policies, and program to DHCS, CDPH, and the right accrediting body, and carry the file through approval and survey.

03

Operate & Comply

We install the audits, QAPI, and training that keep you survey-ready every day and protect your revenue from clawbacks.

04

Grow

We build the referral relationships, intake, and second-site plan that turn a compliant license into a growing business.

Who we serve

Three verticals. We go deep in each, not wide across all of healthcare.

licensing survey, no condition-level findings

“We came to GTR with a lease, a vision, and a stack of rejected paperwork. They rebuilt the entire file, fixed the site issues before they sank us, and walked us through the survey. We opened licensed and accredited in a single quarter.”
Founder & CEO, Westside Recovery Partners
