Starting a Home Care Agency Business
Starting a Home Care Agency Business and Starting a Home Health Care Agency Business, What Is The Difference?
The difference between starting a home health agency business and starting a home care agency business is a question of non-medical vs medical/skilled nursing. If you are looking to provide services such as personal care, assistance with daily living, companion care, light housekeeping, or nearly any other services that do not require skilled nursing or therapy, then you are starting a home care agency business. This type of business typically relies on private pay, but can also be reimbursed by Medicaid, the VA, and other 3rd party payers.
A home health care agency business can also offer non-medical services but can also offer medical/skilled nursing services as well as OT, PT, and ST services. Starting a home health care business will require Medicare Accreditation if your home health care agency businesses wishes to be reimbursed by Medicare and most 3rd party payers such as Medicaid and Private Insurance Companies.
The need for more home care agency businesses is greater now more than ever. Our population is aging, and our seniors need to be cared for. Most families and seniors would prefer for this care to take place in their home. Starting a home care agency business is not only spiritually rewarding, but it can be very profitable as well. We own three home care agency businesses of our very own and have helped hundreds of people just like you start their home care agency businesses.
Starting a Non-Medical Home Care Agency Business
Starting a private home care agency business is not an easy task. This is why so many people settle for a home care franchise to help them when starting their home care agency business. What they don’t know is that most home care franchise models are a complete waste of money. Certified Homecare Consulting can help you with starting a home care agency business of your very own without any guess work or franchise fees or royalties. Get better consulting, and the same home care support you would get from a home care franchise, but for a fraction of the cost – and best of all – you own 100% of your business. If you choose to proceed with starting a home care agency business on your own, without our home health care consultants or a home care franchise, there is a lot you will need to do to assure your successful startup.
