Starting Your Own Home Care Agency
Opportunities to open Home Care Agencies continue to grow due to the aging population and preference of many older Americans to be cared for in their homes. Starting a Home Care Agency to meet this great demand for in-home care may potentially be a rewarding business opportunity.
A Home Health Care business offers helpful services for people, especially the elderly. The home health business owner can go to the patient’s home and provide services.
Initially it is very important to understand the distinction between starting a Medical Skilled Home Health Agency versus a Non-Medical Home Care Agency.
Medical Skilled Home Health Agencies administer skilled licensed nursing and rehab therapy services under physician’s orders with strict guidelines imposed. Medical Home Health Agencies require extensive licensures that could include Medicare and Medicaid certifications.
Non-Medical Home Care services include personal care, assistance with daily living activities, meal preparation, housekeeping and transportation. Such services are often vital for folks to remain safe and comfortable in their homes. Private Pay rather than 3rd party billing sources are the most common form of payment for Non-Medical care.
Home Health Care organizations throughout the country are preparing themselves to meet the future challenges of a rapidly changing home health care system.
To remain competitive, organizations must often revisit their agency mission, to improve the quality of services and maintain their fiscal viability. To do this effectively, we suggest you consider the benefits of accreditation for your agency. We have had the privilege of helping hundreds of home health care agencies.
Our staff includes a mix of healthcare professionals with over thirty years of home health care agency management experience. This includes former Senior CHAP Site Surveyors.
Ask how 100% of our agencies have achieved Medicare/Medicaid accreditation and certification.
