Starting a home care business can cost less than you realize – and home health too!

Our home health care consultants has successfully assisted hundreds of home care businesses with the process of starting their very own home care or home health care agency. We even own home care agencies of our own in Massachusetts, Texas, and Pennsylvania.

Everyday, we speak to dozens of people who ask us how much it costs to start a home care or home health care business and the truth is, it depends. It depends where you are starting your home care business, if you are offering skilled home health care services, the office requirement and other requirements in your state, what your business model is, etc.

We own different types of agencies and we can tell you first hand, they are not the same and no one agency is the same as another, that is unless, it is the same – same state, same offering, same this, same that, etc.

If working capital is an issue for you, you will want to start with a non-medical home care business as this is the most cost effective startup of all of the at home care startups. Offering Medicare post 2020 means having 100% of the capital up front and carrying that load for months on end.

If you would like to speak with a home health care consultant about your specific state, the great thing about Certified Homecare Consulting, is that we work in every state and our home health care consultants can answer all of your questions on one phone call. License application cost, timelines, etc.

You do not want to fail because you do not have the capital. This is why starting a non-medical home care business is often the best advise for someone starting out fresh. Of course, there are massive money making opportunities when offering home health care, but the same can be said for non-medical as well. Most successful home care franchise businesses are actually non-medical agencies, believe it or not.

We own home health care exclusively at the agencies that we own, but we also offer non-medical home care services.  

When you are told that much of the cost is due to licensing, this is non-sense. Be careful what you read and who you speak with. The costs to be concerned with are capital requirements for Medicare and scaling as you grow with the business.

If you are billing Medicare, this is much different from a private pay business, or a private duty home health. Certified Homecare Consultants are experts in helping you with either business model, so no fear, but it is important to understand all of the options. Please do not make decisions with your life based on text or a quick read on any website. Call our expert consultants and get on the right track to starting your home care business and getting a home care license in your state.
