Our new Home Care Agency startup program begins with helping you choose the business entity that will best fit your needs (Sole proprietor, Partnership, Limited Liability Company, S Corporation, C Corporation).

We then complete and file the required documentation, obtain a Federal Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the IRS. We will also obtain a NPI number for you. We will then register your business with the Secretary of State in your state. We complete the paperwork requirements for your state license.

The recent and ongoing changes to licensing standards and regulatory requirements can make the startup process challenging. At 21st Century, we simplify the process and make it easy for you to understand. You provide us the application information, and we do the rest. Each state will have different certification requirements and processes.

This includes an in-depth description of planned operational policies, as well as the resumes and documentation of prospective employees’ professional licensing and criminal background screening. When you receive your license application in a binder it will be easy to submit to your state for approval.

21st Century’s non-medical Home Care Business Startup Process includes home care policy and procedure manuals that are written to meet state standards and customized to your home care business including your home care staff and office details. Along with your customized, state specific home care policy and procedure manuals, 21st Century’s Home Care Business Startup Process also includes all of the operation forms and documents you will need to operate your home care business and stay compliant with State and Federal regulations.

Our core personnel are former ACHC and CHAP Accrediting Body surveyors. We train your staff to eliminate home care accreditation deficiencies and pass their home care accreditation site survey inspection.

Along with working with all three accrediting bodies, our preferred partner ACHC has pre-approved our policies and procedures.  This alleviates any procedural issues during accreditation surveys. They also are feature presenters at our education and training seminars and offer exclusive discounts to our clients.

• CHAP, the Community Health Accreditation Partners

• ACHC, the Accreditation Commission for Health Care

• JCAHO, the Joint Commission

We complete an ON-SITE Mock home care accreditation audit at your location. This on-site audit includes a complete review of your Agency’s operations. Our Mock auditing procedures are similar to what the Home Care Accreditation Site Surveyor will be requiring when they survey your agency for Private Duty Certification.

Marketing can be an area that’s overlooked when planning to operate a home care startup. However, effective marketing is essential when growing your business and spreading the word. 21st Century provides a fully customized website, complete with search engine optimization (SEO), tailored specifically for your home care business.
