    • We complete all of the applications and paperwork needed to start your business and home care agency.

    We will setup your home care business structure on your behalf (Sole proprietor, Partnership, Limited Liability Company, S Corporation, C Corporation).

    We will obtain the Federal Employer Identification Number for your home care business.

    We will obtain an NPI number for your home care business.

    We will complete all State filing requirements in your State and complete all the paperwork requirements necessary to start your home care business and obtain your State Home Care License. Some States refer to this license by different names, and some states have separate license requirements for non-medical home care and separately distinguish personal care, companion care, and similar but different non-medical home care services. We know the options and process of starting a home care business in each state, so don’t worry. WE GUARANTEE YOUR HOME CARE BUSINESS LICENSE!

    Starting a home care business, especially when there is licensure and survey required, can become a daunting task. Let us take away all the guesswork and do it for you!

    • Guaranteed Home Care License: Get a Home Care License in your State

    Certified Homecare Consulting guarantees your home care agency will get a home care license in your State using our services.

    We know the home care license and home health care license process in every state. Call us today.

    • Medicaid Enrollment (if applicable)

    We enroll our clients in state Medicaid programs in select states, as part of our program

    • Private Duty Enrollment, Accreditation, & Mock Survey (if applicable)

    We get our clients CHAP or ACHC Accredited for Private Duty by request (Medicare Accreditation is available for Home Health Agencies)

    Does your home care agency need to become accredited once you are licensed? Well, it depends. Your home care license allows you to see patients, but how are you getting paid? If accreditation is preventing you from getting paid, or will prevent you from getting paid, this is the only time your home care business will need to achieve accreditation. If you are taking part in State Medicaid Programs or Managed Care Programs, they will most likely require you to be accredited, but this is not always the case, and especially not the case in most State when taking part in Medicaid Waiver Programs. 

    We almost literally hold your hand through the process of Accreditation, once again, completing every form and legal document on your behalf while coaching and walking you and your team throughout the Accreditation process.

    For all home health care clients proceeding with Medicare Accreditation, it is an absolute must that we visit you onsite to conduct a mock audit. For those clients achieving Private Duty Accreditation, preparation is provided via phone, email, or virtual meeting.

    • Home Care Policies and Procedures (hard copy & electronic copy) for your home care business

    This is very important. Home Care Policies & Procedures vary – they are not all created equal. Each State, Medicaid Program, Accrediting Body, etc. have their own set of standards to adhere to. It is important to distinguish every factor. Your home care business will not get far if your home care policies and procedures are not customized to meet these requirements. 

    We guarantee your home care policies and procedures will meet all of the requirements necessary to provide home care services in your State, as well as guaranteeing your State Home Care License and Medicare or Private Duty Accreditation should you choose to go that route. Our home health care policies and procedures are also completely customized for your home care agency and will include all your agency specific and relevant details. 

    Our home health care policies and procedures are professionally designed, edited, printed and shipped to you in hard copy and USB in Microsoft Word format.

    Lifetime updates at no extra charge, for as long as you own your agency!

    For those who understand that it is their responsibility to keep their policies and procedures updated to meet State and Federal regulations, this is huge.

    • Every form and document you need to operate your home care business

    Literally, everything you need.

    • Human Resources setup for your home care business

    Including but not limited to one on one home care training, video training, and customized high-quality documents developing all aspects of your home care businesses human resource department.

    Home Health Care 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.

    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!
