How To Start A Home Care Agency | Episode 2 - Researching State Regulations & Application Process

Ever asked how do I start a home care agency? In this video you will learn how to research and apply for the license in Florida. This will vary just a bit from state to state but you can expect it to be very similar. I have recently moved to Florida and thought I might as well expand on my company and again start a home care agency... sharing the process from beginning to end right here on ENTP LIFE. My vision for this agency is to solve the problem of discharge planning to reduce hospital readmission's and improve the quality of life for those who are chronically ill.

As this series progresses you will be exposed to everything you need to know to start a home care agency, my approach to business, and everything you will need to succeed in this industry.

For those of you thinking what is a home care agency the answer is quite simple. A home care agency is company that provides health care personnel in the homes of patients/clients in need of Nursing Care, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Assistance with Daily Living Activities, Companionship & Housekeeping. The industry is usually divided between skilled and unskilled professionals or as Medicaid and Medicare Agencies. The type of agency you start depends on your State's regulations and the scope of services you plan to provide.

Join me on my journey of starting a home care agency and taking that company public. This is the life of an ENTP

I'll give myself about 5years before starting an agency so that by then I must have gained more knowledge of how to go about it. Thanks you for sharing. ❤❤

👏🏽Today I decided to start researching requirements for starting a home health business. I viewed Nurse B interview with you. Then I watched your first and second videos consecutively. Thanks for the insight on home health agency's. It was very informative. I'm a critical care RN looking to start venturing into entrepreneurship. Thanks for your teachings! 👍🏾

I am currently being passed down a Home care Agency by my parents and your videos are exactly what I was looking for to gather more info on the industry.

We are located in Miami Dade.

Great information, I am chiming in from Ohio and currently working on starting my own provider agency, starting with serving individuals with cognitive disabilities. DODD charges $800 hundred dollars for agency providers. If you are serving the elderly, I believe its more and if you are serving the mentally ill it is less. Yes, you are correct to start with Health and Human Services or Department of Health to find vital information for starting your own agency. I have many years of hands on experience, in various states as well. I am currently working on acquiring funds (savings and business credit) and creating an employee handbook, which I got the outline from a human resource website--of course you'll have to use the local regulations from the state far as HIPPA and specific issues relative to home health and provider agencies in your respective state.

Proud to see a fellow Haitian doing their thing . I’ve always wanted to go in to home health care . I thought becoming a crna was the only way to make a lot of money, but I’m wrong . I just started a trucking company with my first truck and someday will look into starting a home health agency . Just gotta figure out where to start . Plus since I’m Haitian and Indian . I can reach more of the Indian population since they don’t tend to seek out, out side care due to misinformation .

Hi karl, i am an RN looking to start a skilled home care in new Jersey. I am using a consultant now but i had never had or run a business before and am very anxious on how to source for clients and staff. Listening to you has encouraged me. Thanks for sharing your experience in the field.

[shellyannbrooks]

Thank you for sharing community is very important.

[mgunike]

Great advice, great information. thank you so much.
I have 10 year plus experience from CNA to LPN and now as RN. I have been thinking launching a home health agency but do not know how to start. My husband tells me i have the experience and knowledge as a RN and I could be doing home care and become an entrepreneur. I believed I have the qualifications, knowledge and caring for the elderly.

Hi Karl I own a Medical billing Company that specializes in Home Health, Nurse Registries, ALF's in South Florida. I began my own company as i worked with Simply Health Plan LTC (Long Term Care) for 5 years and saw across the board in Tri-County Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beaches how little these provider new on how to stay compliant and bill accurately especially when EVV (Electronic Visit Verification) is concerned. I am now wanting to expand and looking into Home Health Agency i want to applaud you on how detailed and explicit you are in your videos i have not seen all of them I am actually on Episode 4 of How to start a home care agency but WAY TO May i make a suggestion not sure if you have a video on this yet but it would be a GREAT idea to do a video on EVV and state requirement on it, also how the specific aggregators such as HHHAExchange and Netsmart (previously named Tellus) differ and how they work. Once again Thank you

Welcome to Broward my friend. I have had this idea for years but just couldn’t get traction on starting. I like that you are sharing your knowledge and would love to talk about your HHA software and possibly have a 1-1 conversation regarding healthcare industry and startups.
