In this episode of the ALF Boss Podcast, I sit down with Doug Adkins, Owner and CEO of DaySpring Village and DaySpring Senior Living — one of Florida’s most respected leaders in the assisted living industry. Doug has been operating facilities since 1987, serving thousands of residents across Florida through both limited mental health and senior living communities. His perspective is shaped by nearly four decades of experience, from surviving the early days of ALF operations to becoming one of the strongest advocates for sustainable Medicaid funding and better care models in Florida.   We discuss:  His journey from converting a small motel into a 126-bed ALF  Growing from one community to multiple campuses, including new developments like DaySpring Commons  Why Florida’s Medicaid funding model is broken — and what needs to change  The challenges of rising costs, staffing, and overregulation  His proposed Funding Methodology Workgroup and how it could transform access to care  The story behind Emily’s Promise, a foundation created in honor of his daughter, which inspired the Emily Adkins Family Protection Act, requiring blood clot screenings for seniors in ERs   Doug’s insight, experience, and compassion for the industry make this a must-listen episode for anyone who cares about the future of assisted living in Florida.
