Starting a Rehabilitation Health Center
There are many types of rehabilitation centers. But one thing is sure for all – building one is a tremendous task. You’d need to think about a business plan, funding, location, licenses, and staff hiring.
Would you like to know the specifics to consider when starting a rehab center? Read on and find out from our basic guide.
There are many kinds of rehabilitation centers, each offering a specific service to the specific need of particular patients. There are rehab centers for cardiac patients, alcoholics, drug addicts and those that are recovering from accidents. As a health facility, building a rehab center requires a lot of funding, and numerous licenses acquisition. Here are some things to consider when starting a rehab center:
Location.
A rehabilitation center is a place meant for people who are undergoing or recovering from an illness or condition. These people need a place conducive to healing, typically a place far from stress and noise. You need to find such an ideal place for your rehab center, ideally a suburbian area.
Licenses.
As a health facility, you’d have to meet requirements in addition to the usual licenses required of non-medical related business. Such licenses and permits, including health and environmental permits, are meant to ensure that the operation of the facility is not a threat to the health and safety of the people and the environment around it. Ask your state’s health department for a list of requirements needed for your type of rehabilitation center.
Facilities.
This includes the physical location of the center as well as the equipment needed. Buildings may be acquired, built or leased. Equipment needed for the facility may be bought new or second hand.
People.
They are your most important assets. Depending on your type of rehab center you’d need an assortment of medical professionals like therapists, doctors, counsellors, nurses, and aids. For the administrative, management and accounting aspect you’d need people to work as staff, cashiers and clerks. It would be best if you can find such professionals near where you intend to operate the business. Otherwise, you have to hire people from other places, which could entail higher pay because of the relocation factor.
Funding.
You’d need a lot in order to have all of these. The size of the fund will depend on the size, the way assets will be acquired, and nature of the facility you are planning to have. Rehab centers that require a lot of equipment and machine, like a physical therapy center, will typically cost more. It will also require more immediate capital outlay to build buildings than to lease one.
Business Plan.
A solid business plan is needed not only in the operation of the rehab, but also during its development. It will be needed in obtaining licenses and in acquiring funding from investors and banks.

- The idea of rehab centre should be treated with urgency because we are loosing the generation not only that but also we face a mental health nation in near future why because we are sited here thinking someone else is responsible. I have idea, I have knowledge but who is ready to develop this idea. I have experience and I am a counselor and I need some out their to respond to me and we work together to save Ugandans who at cross roads in every thing. I need to develop the proper direction of this idea then I look for finders whose objectives focus the communities and the location is ready located research made and the need is there please let's start now.
- The location is in western Uganda. The urban poor Mbarara where all non educated and the jobless educated have flooded the urban in search of better life but this. Has more Most finders target the rural forgetting the urban centres. Mbarara boarders with Congo, Rwanda so there is quite a lot of need of services and this will make a big change not only for families but entire nation and good neighborhood.
