5. Unknown on 1/7/2009 11:05:17 PM

I have opened and started a few home health agencies I usually start them for people that don't really know how to structure their business but they have experience in managing health care companies. I should tell you that it is very expensive very time demanding and there is a lot of work that goes into building a Home Health Agency. If you are not client oriented and in it to actually provide the best possible care this is not the business for you, because it will show once you have to print up those reports on your clients outcome based fact sheets soooooooo......but if you are interested you should write me back i can help you.

I Started 2x home health agencies in the last year. One in California and one in Washington. The state licensing rules and laws were different in each state. I did lots of research and eventually ended up using a company called Homecare Agency Solutions. They helped with getting all the necessary policies and forms and helped with the licensing process in both states. They say they operate in all states. I bought an "Agency In A Box" customized to the different state rules and it had everything that I needed. Their website was very helpful too. It is homehealthstartup.com

I live in Columbus, IN and am in the middle of starting my own Personal Care Agency. The process to this point has not been very difficult. Of course you need to work with the state Department of Health who is very busy so things may take a while. I was drawn into the business by a Retirement Village that I service with one of my other companies, eMed-ID an medical information device company. The two companies will fit nicely together because they service the same clients. Once I am up and running I will re-post to let everyone how it is going. Thank you.

Hello Again, I see there are a lot of new questions. First Step I would say to everyone that is very important! Before you began; Find out if your state is a "Certificate of Need" (CON) State. This will be very important to know before you attempt to move forward with opening your Home Health Agency. If you have further questions or would like help, please feel free to email us at medprobcs@yahoo.com

ANYONE with business and health care experience (RN or other allied health professional) who is seriously interested in starting a home health care AND nurse staffing agency in NC or VA please contact me. I believe that a small group of us could knock this out with minimal effort by splitting duties and startup costs. The money is there to make and now is a great time to do so. The To Do list is significant, but the resources are available and the need is great especially with changes in health care...more focus on home health (due to an aging population, more children with chronic conditions, wars, skyrocketing costs of inpatient care), Vets, pediatrics, geriatrics and hospice. We can unite, divide and conquer while providing excellent patient care!
