    Adult foster 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.

    Susan was wonderful to work with today. We gained so much knowledge through her expertise. She walked us through the survey process step by step. I am much more prepared than I was yesterday. Thankful that she will “hold our hand” for the next few months as we continue to move towards Medicare certification. She has been a delightful person to work with- she instills confidence and guides with a wealth of wisdom from experience. I cannot recommend her enough!!! Today was a positive day and I feel like the little engine that could… “I think I can… I know I can.” A million thanks for your help.

    Sue and Sue were great when it came to getting accredited towards the end of the process. When things did not go as expected with other employees, I contacted Sal the owner and he was always impeccable with his integrity and prompt to solve the issues

    One day I was in the dark, I tried to look for a light, it turned out that the light I found was a light that would illuminate my life for the rest of my life.
    I called a number I didn’t recognize. The number is CHC far away in the East of America, while I was in the West.
    A gentle woman answered the phone, from her voice I was sure she was a wise woman, she is Amy Wise from CHC. Since then every night there is no doubt like I get medicine from that sound, like a bright bright light. I don’t want to lose that light. From the beginning of our conversation, I decided that I am sure After darkness there will be light to shine in my life. It was proven… Last week that light became a reality lamp. That the team from CHC didn’t work hard BUT WORKED SMART!!, creating a lamp that I was looking for.
    Of course I miss Alison, replaced by Donna full of patience in dealing with my darkness. Tristan is very patient in serving anything for me 👍🏾 Jack gave me the confidence to run this business, I have real hope. And Susan Weber and Katia Pierre she was gave me very details explanations. I remember a wise coach who gave me training👍🏾💚And of course, Roxanne was the one who convinced me that the light would shine💚😓, let me shed a tear😓🙏Forgive me if there are names I didn’t mention.
    I don’t know how to thank you… Thank you to CHC, this strong and wise team🙏👍🏾 I don’t want to lose you all💚Thank you.. thank you for all of you💚💚

Her expertise in home care is evident, and I appreciated her willingness to go the extra mile to ensure I had all the information I needed.

    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.
