@Garrett TjoeMy understanding is that you do not need separate utilities if the ADU is added to a lot with an existing Single Family Residence (SFR).

Essentially purchasing and converting a single family home into a home that will house 8-16 seniors and provide caregivers, etc. 

I'm a land broker in Southern California and a lot of my sellers are families with issues like this.

Single Family? 

Based on the conversation my realtor had with the seller's agent, the family selling the home is humanitarian in nature and would like to "help a family."

Thanks @Johnny MartinMy suggestion is to partner with a like minded person... and preferably someone like a family member who really knows you... a dad... an uncle, etc that understands the value of passive investing.
