How To Start a Non Medical Home Care Agency

Starting a non-medical home care business is a great business opportunity for anyone who is compassionate, caring, and honest. It’s a perfect way to earn income while helping seniors or disabled individuals who prefer to stay in their own homes. It provides them with personal care and light housekeeping services. That allows caregivers to be their own boss and work their preferred hours.

HAVE A BUSINESS PLAN…
Like any type of business, you need to have a business plan to start a non-medical home care business. Set up the structure and the basics of your business, name, mission, and goals, audience, describe your services, etc.

HAVE A FINANCIAL PLAN…
Have a financial plan for your business, and set up your budget, some costs you might need to include licensing, marketing, payroll if you are hiring additional staff … etc.

You will need to obtain a Federal Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the IRS before you can apply for licensing or opening a business checking account.

STATE REQUIREMENTS AND CERTIFICATIONS…
Check for your state licensing requirements, and write policies and procedures that meet state standards and are customized to your home care business. Find out if your state offers a Medicaid waiver program, which allows Medicaid patients to receive home healthcare. If your state has a waiver program, determine what your agency needs to do to be eligible.
