Start a Home Care Business Startup Program
No Guesswork - Fast Results - Guaranteed Success
1. 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!
2. 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.
3. Medicaid Enrollment (if applicable)
We enroll our clients in state Medicaid programs in select states, as part of our program
4. 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.
5. 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.

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.

Testimonials
There is no wonder why we have a 5 Star rating with nearly all our clients. When you choose Certified Homecare Consulting, you are choosing a company providing you with the same efforts, support, and services we provide to the very same agencies we own and operate. Here are what just a few of our clients have to say…
“Working with Certified Home Care Consulting and Steve Goss has been a tremendous blessing to my life and to my agencies, Quality Personal Care Inc. I have a great amount of knowledge in the Homecare industry but I would not have been able to expand as quickly as I have if I did not receive the expertise and help that I received from Certified Home Care Consulting!
Any Home Health Care, Home Care Agency, etc. looking to start a new agency or expand their existing agency, I highly recommend Certified Home Care Consulting. They are truly worth their weight in gold!
Be blessed, be bold, and be brilliant!”
Dr. Cedrick Spears, Owner, Quality Personal Care
“Our experience was unique; we were happy to have the guidance your team supplied. Not knowing the process and what to do or how to do it, we were lost in the beginning. Having the consulting service team working with us, we were able to complete what we set out to do. Thank you to everyone that helped us through the process.”
Barbara & Rose Talbot, Owners, Ample Care LLC
“We are just getting ready to open. Certified did a great job getting us up and ready to open. There are other companies like yours, but they are much more expensive. I am sure they can’t be as good as your company. I am very thankful I didn’t get sucked into a franchise. They want 35 to 50 thousand in franchise fees & they sell you air and zip codes with 20,000 people. If you want to expand then you pay another franchise fee. On top of that you pay them 5 to 6 per cent on gross sales forever.
I would advise anyone thinking of getting into this business to hire your firm.”
Bill Thrush, Owner, A Better Life Senior Care
“I highly recommend Certified Home Care (CHC) to help with health care licensing. From day one, their staff has been very professional and more important knowledgeable regarding home health from a business and legal perspective. I have recommended CHC to several friends and others who are looking to start a home health care business.
Certified Home Care truly made the process of starting a home care business easier. Their strong team was always eager to help and guided me step by step. I am grateful for the partnership.”
Daniel Harris, Owner, Celestial Home Care Inc.
“My experience as a customer of Certified Homecare Consulting has been great, especially with the mock survey and clinical advice. I get responses to our clinical question immediately. Customer service is the best, everyone is professional and friendly. The Medicare certification process was excellent and less than one year after I started admitting patients I was certified with Medicare. I will continue having Certified Homecare Consulting do mock surveys for our agency, because when CHAP surveyed my agency, we did awesome. A Special Thanks to Starsha and Sue G for the amazing Mock survey.
If you ever in need of consultation I advise you to give them a call. As long you follow their advice you will do excellent too.”
Ruth Chabot, Owner, Uniting With You Home Care
“Certified Homecare Consulting were incredible and excellent at what they do. If you are looking for experts on Medicare Accreditation and Certification, look no further. We could not have achieved accreditation with ALMOST NO Deficiency without them. They are very informative, effective and knowledgeable and provide a level of professionalism that is very hard to find. They worked with us every step of the way in providing the assistance we needed in order to stay in compliance with CHAP requirement…from the training, the Policies and Procedures Manual, Self-study materials and eventual Mock survey. They know their stuff and that made it a lot easier for us to go through the accreditation process successfully. It is also very comforting to know that Certified Homecare is always available when you need them in providing any support and help after accreditation. Our special thanks to Rena, the HR guru. She was tough on our organization but for a very good reason. She truly cares for our success. We are completely satisfied and will not hesitate to recommend them to anyone considering or in the process of starting a home healthcare agency.”
Manny Ejiofor, CEO, Vine Homecare & Staffing
“Certified Homecare Consulting has held our hand through the entire licensing and accreditation process from the very beginning. They made sure that we always felt comforted through what is otherwise an extremely stressful and uncertain time. Steve Goss assured us from the start that they would get us licensed to operate and kept his word the entire way. Terry and Chris spent countless hours on the phone with me, answering my million questions and educating me on how to operate this new business that I had no idea about. The level of care and attention they have given my company was immeasurably vital to successfully becoming licensed and passing my survey. I recommend this service to anyone who is nervous about opening a home care agency, because without them, I would not have had the guts, knowledge, or ability to do this on my own. Thank you, team!”
Kristina De-Levi, CEO, Home Assist Healthcare Services
“Thank you, Certified Homecare Consulting, for your support with starting up my business. Your staff has been amazing and wonderful during this process. You have a very professional and talented team of people, and it’s been a pleasure working with them. Your continued support is also very appreciated. Thank you!”
Shamila Saeed, CEO, My Care, LLC
“I had a great experience with Certified Homecare throughout the whole certification process. The entire knowledgeable team was helpful walking me through the whole process. I couldn’t have asked for more in a team of consultants.”
Stephen Wanjira, Owner, Afya Home Care LLC Lawrence, MA
I wanted to take a moment to Thank you, Terri and Starsha for your thorough and professional approach. Each of you were very knowledgeable, approachable and a pleasure to work with. Each of us at Harborside agree that the money was well spent as the mock survey process and documented results have assisted us in preparing for our survey. Thank you”
Sylvie Hornor, RN Clinical Service Director, Harborside Hospice, LLC
“If you ever in need of consultation I advise you to give them a call. As long you follow their advice you will do excellent too.”
