Entrepreneur invests millions into 'no senior left behind' model

Young twenty-something newlyweds Kris and Chelsea Chana made something of an unusual home choice after their 2011 honeymoon to Staniel Cay in the Bahamas. 

Upon returning to Florida, the Orlando natives moved to Port Charlotte, where they got into the senior living industry. They got so into it that, after buying, gutting and renovating what was a shuttered 12-bed assisted living home, a $450,000 project, they actually moved into the facility themselves. Chelsea was 21 and a new University of Florida grad. Kris, also a UF grad, who walked away from a career in insurance and financial planning  — too boring, he says — was 23. “Chelsea learned how to crochet, I learned how to cook and together we made it work,” Kris Chana says.
