    Hospice Business Development Training

    A word of caution about marketing and promises…

    We are going to build you a beautiful website that gets the job done. It’s going to look great, and you’re going to have input. We even make sure that your website is found on Google, Yahoo, Bing, and every other search engine. But please listen, as this is very important – no one can guarantee you will be on the first page of Google unless you are paying Google Ads. Do not waste money on SEO as a new agency.

    Google Places, Facebook, Google Ads, and referral sites in some markets – this is where you spend money online. The hard work and the real reward are earned face to face through grassroots, on the ground marketing to patients and referral sources. We teach this in our training.

    After researching various companies to help us start our Home Care Organization, Certified Homecare Consulting was by far the most professional and took the time to be thorough about what their process looks like. They certainly did not fall short of anything they promised and made the long and daunting experience of dealing with our states (CA) DSS licensing seem truly effortless from our end.

    Had an exceptional video call to go over policies with Mr. Haddad and to go over hiring and protocols with Ms. Thompson. Each separate meeting was absolutely needed and I left the meeting eager and ready to get going with this new journey I have just begun to start! Feeling motivated and empowered. This company has been a life saver. EVERYTHING that you can need to start a business from the ground up is provided. I have been happy with them so far and would do it all over again if given the opportunity.

Starsha has been very helpful with our chart review and made sure that our files are in compliance and in the right order. Alison and Paige have also been helpful in this journey. I highly recommend CHC if starting an agency.Update 11/6/23:I want to thank Sue for all her help in helping us get our Medicare accreditation.

    Alison and the team at Certified Homecare Consulting did a FANTASTIC job helping my company get licensed in Texas. Alison was very responsive whenever I had questions, did a great job gathering all the necessary information, and handled what could have been a major roadblock to licensure in a matter of days. I highly recommend Alison and Certified Homecare Consulting and would use them again in a heartbeat!

    We had a great experience using Alison to assist us in our state Home (Non-Health) Care license. We appreciate the expertise, guidance and professional manner in which Alison and Starsha helped us. The legalities of required paperwork/binders to keep on hand would be entirely overwhelming without having the binders and policies provided and customized to our state needs. Honestly, we couldn’t have done it without them!

    It’s great working with Susan and Starsha. I don’t think I can describe in words how amazing they are. They are very knowledgeable, they follow up with you on time, they are trustworthy. I know if I need anything I can count on them. our agency wouldn’t have made it this far without them. They are always willing to take the extra time to teach you. It is truly a pleasure working with them.

    Our agency had the pleasure to work with Certified Home Health and the entire process was a dream come true. Our agency had contracted two other consultants prior and neither were as well qualified and knowledgeable about the acquisition of a home health license in florida as Certified Home Health. Alison was our first point of contact and was amazing to work with, extremely knowledgeable, charismatic, and attentive. Tristan, Starsha, and the rest of the team were also wonderful.

    After almost 2 years we finally got our license. I want to thank Allison and her team for all their hard work. Mark in the marketing department has also been amazing. I will recommend them to anyone who wants to start a home care agency. The state of Maryland makes it very difficult and they were very responsive to all of my calls and questions. Thanks again for all your hard work this is an amazing company
