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! 👍🏾
Awesome good for you! Can you do me a favor and complete this survey, I would also love to chat about your experience as a nurse and hear more about your venture. Here is the survey - bit.ly/aaidebooksurvey
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.
I'm in Fort Lauderdale if you need strategic help for growth, or coaching feel free to setup a consultation. I'm glad the videos are helpful. Medical or non medical?
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 .
Indian community is underserved mainly because they assume family will help fill that gap or if affluent enough hire a servant. Good luck with everything and keep me posted on your journey.
@@Karl__Pierre thank you , but not all Indians are that way . There are subsets but they will not hire a servant unless they are in India . Most do depend on family but sometimes there is a fine line between what family can do for a family member . Thank you for setting the standard for what true nursing entrepreneurship looks like . Hopefully I can learn a thing or two from watching your videos . I wish you much and continued success in the coming future
@@GotyaSteph yes I'm aware of course there's no absolutes. We serve the communities in NY and was commenting on what I've observed and assist with. Thanks for the well wishes.
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.
What city are you in? I also suggest you consider starting with a nursing agency. Easier to start, lucrative, and a great start point if Home Health Is the end goal. Send me an email at info@entplife.com

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 GO!!!!!!!! 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
Thanks for the suggestion. We are actually updating our internal software to address such. Is your medical billing company still active. Would love to chat with you and see of there is potential to collaborate shoot me an email to Karl@ontimeits.com
@@Karl__Pierre @karl_Pierre the software Aaidebook how will that be integrated with the services that will need to be EVV? i am looking forward in speaking with you.
@user-ry8ps1sm2l the software is ontime. The integration with EVV which has already been configured for HHA exchange is simple...it's just pushing the necessary components.

I'm in nursing school now, and graduate in April 2023. I eventually want to open up a home health agency in California in the next couple of years after accruing experience as a nurse.

What is your opinion on residential assisted living? Pretty much investing in residential homes and hiring private duty non medical caregivers at the home to assist with activities of daily living at a residential home not a large facility. I am an RN in Texas and I am trying to get into entrepreneurship thank you so much for all the info!
I think it's a good idea and have considered the same. It all comes down to what are your state regulations and local regulations related to assisted living facilities. Some states have limits on how many residents before license is required. You will want to check with your state department of health to determine what is possible. Once you have the answer reach back out.
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.
Just make sure you are attempting to open in an area of need or the application will be denied. If you need assistance contact us at www.passiveworforce.com
Kinda of an odd question, but is it possible to start up an agency, hiring all the right people and management, and then letting the management team take control of the duties of running the business, while i am able to sit back and reap the rewards? Especially if i don't know much about, well, anything?
Yeah but you'd need two things. Good hiring skills to indentify and recruit the talent that can execute and the cash to fund that operation until the business can fund itself....better angle would be to buy an operating business with management in place
I have enjoyed your videos. I have been in the medical field for years and I decided I wanted to start a Home Care Agency. I wrote my policies and became licensed and it took years. My agency is We Do Care Home CAre Agency in North Carolina. The problem is I need help becoming business oriented and finding clients its been about a year now and we just became Medicaid approved etc. But I don't know where to start and how to market to get clients and its stressing me out. Please tell me that you can give us some guidance.
This is as simple as ask and receive. Where do you think patients are in high concentration. Hospitals, Doctors offices, senior centers. You literally need to talk to people and let them know who you are. Then follow-up.
Hi Carol, sorry bro, if I spelled your name wrong, I'm Beth, really enjoyed listening to your videoclip. My question is, do I have to register with the EFTPSF Federal Tax Deposit Obligation??, While the business permit is still in process.
Yes we can assist with startups, what state and city. We can setup home care and staffing agencies. Go to our consulting site www.passiveworkforce.com and you'll see all that is offered
I appreciate your information. I am establishing a non-medical home health agency is Philadelphia, Pa. I hired a consultant but I am not completely satisfied.
I am wondering do Home health agencies need liability insurances? If so, how much does it cost? Thank you so much for your time and sharing valuable informations!
Hi. I am illiterate when it comes to this arena, but I want to learn. When do people on your “team” start getting paid? Is it once business takes off or would it be part of the start up budget? Do board members get paid? Thank you!
Hi there! Love your videos. I'm in Florida as well. I'm looking for information to start up a registry (not agency) do you have details more on this by chance?
I’m not license in the home care Field but I have five years experience from my mom who was in full hospice at home they will come a few hours a day just to be with her and make sure her health was on point I cared for her every day until God called her home I had this idea to open my own home healthcare business in Puerto Rico due to the fact the lack of service here on the island but I am not licensed moving forward do I need to get licensed., I have a few friends who are not licensed but care for the Elderly that are living alone at home
Hi, I’m Tania, RN from NY! I love your content, it’s very thorough. I am in the beginning phases of it all so it does seem a bit overwhelming. But I guess that feeling comes with all new ventures. Just a few questions. Generally, does a CHAA or LHCSA have lower start up costs? I’m trying to decide what type of home health care agency I would like to start. It seems like you said a CHHA may have great payouts for professional services but may be short term and LHCSAs may some nursing services but mostly personal care services but these services are likely to be provide on a long term basis? Please tell me if I’m incorrect. If so a LHCSA seems most appealing and may be most beneficial on a long term basis. What other things should I consider in making this decision?
Hi Tania, Are you aware of the application restrictions in NY. Basically you have to start your agency in a hard to service location or buy a dormant license, especially if in NYC. That's more important than the start up costs. NYC LHCSA license sells for 300k these days and CHHAs forget it those are rarely issued and not the business you want. Your best bet is to find someone with a dormant license and buy it or partner with them. If you want some more help or guidance in healthcare entrepreneurship you can book a call with my team at www.passiveworkforce.com
@@Karl__Pierre yes I was actually just looking at the counties with and without a need. I live in Westchester County and was hoping to service that area but it like I would have to provide a rebuttal for the presumption to no need and honestly that sounds like a long shot! Does obtaining a dormant license involve the same steps?
I’m having trouble finding how to build a pharmacy for a service provided with a home infusion business can you help me direct my searches to a specific website that helps with How to be as competitive as possible
Thanks. I am a NP in CA and really would like to open an agency. I am just getting started so these videos are so helpful! Did you start out accepting medicare right away or first private? I am unsure on what to charge for client fees or pay!
Hey Allie! Shoot me an email by using the contact form on my homecare software site www.ontimeits.com there I can get way more detailed and see how I can address all your questions. I started in NY as a medicaid/private duty agency. This adventure that I am on in florida is my first stab at the medicare side of it. That being said to research rates would require you do basic market research. Call 10 agencies in your area at "ask for a friend" what the rates are hahaha. Then do the same asking about pay rates as an aide. With 20 calls you'll get your market data and know how to price yourself and how much to pay your staff. Medicare rates are published.
I like your content but my question is do you have someone that handles your billing? Maybe someone that does your accounts receivable and accounts payable? Thanks
Yes I have that and also provide the service. I have my own EMR for non skilled home care, and I have a team of accountants that you can hire on a part time basis to handle all financial processes. Booking keeping, billing, ar, ap, payroll, pre tax preparation. We also can arrange for your annual Tax filings. Email me at INFO@ENTPLIFE.COM
I am in MICHIGAN and have started the basics. But I feel stuck and overwhelmed. I have reached out to consultants but since I’m just starting out and can’t afford it.
@@ziebutterfly3856in all honesty I can't. I start consultations at $450/hour with a $2000 retainer and I don't have the time to do so. But if you do have questions check out my lives which I sort of consult for free. Additionally if you want me to introduce you to another consultant that can help I'd be more than happy to make the intro. Let me know.
They need to be on the application and available when the state comes in. I'm not sure if NY is issuing more licenses. They don't have to be full-time per se. Just need to be there within 2 hours if state shows up.
Hi,am Zainab Ahmed from uganda and am interested to start home care agency kindly talk about how to make payment structure by the patients?thank u soo much am learning alot from you
Hi ENTP.. how are you ? I am here in Maryland and would like to start similar business to what you did. I appreciate your videos, can you forward me list of your detailed step by step start up programs and its corresponding action steps . Thank you...
Hi. I really love your ideas I am a nurse and I’m about to start a care agency in UK. I was thinking of making my kids work with me. They are 20 and 23 years old. Should I also employ a professional recruiter now at the beginning? Thank you
How do we find out an hourly rate for home care here in California, Stanislaus, SAN Joaquin and Merced counties. As we are waiting on our State Lic. and it should be coming shortly, but we are not aware of how much to charge. Thank You'
Hi Jose, exciting times ahead. There's alot to cover for a startup agency related to pricing and organizing your success best thing is to book time with me to discuss. calendly.com/entp-life
Yes but most likely will need to bring an RN on as your DON especially for skilled agency. If you need help starting your business I recommend booking a call at www.passiveworkforce.com to talk it through and see what is the best option for you.
Man I have so many questions for you but don’t know where to start. Like being independent or franchises? I have been looking around at different owners like yourself and wondering do you think courses are worth it? Or can you master this on your own? Thanks again for the info bro!!
My thoughts are you need to know that margins are thin in home health. 10-15% on average. That being said the franchisees usually get you for about 3% on your revenue meaning your margin will be 7-12%. The positive about the franchise is it greatly reduces your trial and error or starting on your own. It's faster to get started faster to get rolling. Not all companies are created equal. At this stage I personally wouldn't do a franchise but if I were just starting and had the funds I would consider it. It's all a matter of choice.
cool contact them - if you need help starting out email me at Karl@solislpierre.com subject line and Staffing Agency so we can talk about this further.
Hi, I'm just now starting watching your videos on Home Health Care Agencies, and they are very helpful. Do you happen to know of where I can find info or books on how to run the business? Like day to day operations, methods on how to find patients, payments, etc. I just don't know exactly where to start. I've hired a consultant but they are not very helpful so I'm teaching myself at this point. Anything would be helpful, Thank you.
Hello Karl, when you start the application process for home care agency, do you have to use office address ? Or can you submit it with a residential address and update later? Can you clarify that, thank you!
Hello. It all depends on your state. Check your state guidelines. Here in Florida must have an office, with a zoning letter from the city saying that the address provided is in fact a commercial address. Where are you located?
Hi ENTP, I'm a nurse. I'm thinking to open an agency that could provide nursing assistance and nurses. Other people are saying that I need to have at least 100k on my account.
This is true. This is what medicare requires if you are expecting to be a medicare provider. The idea is you need money to float your operation as you wait for Medicare to reimburse. If you were doing private duty or Medicaid this may not matter as much. What state are you in and what sort of agency?
@@Karl__Pierre thank you for responding, I'm currently in Florida, Miami, I'm waiting for this virus to pass. I'm planning on open a home health care agency where I would go to provide care at their house. Thank you so much for your answer.
@@nadinelouis6210 ok Nadine. Since you are in Florida like I am, what I am describing and what you have heard about the 100k requirement is true. That is the recommendation.
None- I don't consult on start ups but can put you in contact with someone who certainly can get you on your way. email me at info@entplife.com subject line home care agency.
Hi Karl, I wanted to know if you could now give a review on your consultant? I am currently in the process of moving forward with my home care agency in Pennsylvania and would like to know if the consultant was beneficial for your agency. I am the founder of Receptive home care which offers non-medical services and I'm trying to transition to home health care. I would appreciate it if you could, it will be so helpful.
Hello Karl, I am a new subscriber and just started my research to open a home health agency. Can you please recommend a consulting company that I can use? thank you
What is the best way to find out the demographics regarding home health care if you are looking to open up an agency in a state other than where you live.
Hi, 👋 Karl. I’m currently looking into opening a HHA as well. I’ve looked into purchasing a franchise or hiring a consultant. I’ve spoken to one consultant however he is not located in Florida and I’m not sure if it would be a good fit since he is in another state. I also verifies with the department of state to see if their company was legit and it is. I’m ready to start the process but I’m looking for a good team that is willing to put in the time. I checked the moratorium like you advised and Florida had one until July 29 2020. Would that cause me to take longer when I apply for my license? Or does it just apply to when I’m getting licensed by Medicare and Medicaid?
Hey Karl, I am working to start a HHA in the DMV area. I wanted to know if you personally know which specific area is the best to start a business in? Also if I am hiring a consultant, what exactly would their role be in the process?
NPI number is national provider Number. If you are independent nurse or professional you can apply one. Google apply for NPI number and read what it says.
Hello Karl, I’m just starting my non-medical home care agency, but I seem to be stuck with what to give the caregivers in their new hire package once selected. Can you let me know what you recommend how you candle? And do you interview in groups (zoom) during COVID-19? I am required to train before sending to a client, so how do you avoid paying caregivers for training when you have no clients? Thanks so much for any help do I can start making a difference.
You contact referral sources. What state are you in and what software are you using? My company coaches startups if they are using our software. Email me karl@solislapierre.com Subject Line OnTIME ITS HomeCare
Can this info be applied to homemaker/companion service companies? I am looking to start that first then scale up once I can raise the capital to do so, or do you think Staffing/training is the way?

You're welcome. You can email us at info@passiveworkforce.com if you need assistance with starting your own agency.
I have enjoyed your videos. I have been in the medical field for years and I decided I wanted to start a Home Care Agency. I wrote my policies and became licensed and it took years. My agency is We Do Care Home CAre Agency in North Carolina. The problem is I need help becoming business oriented and finding clients its been about a year now and we just became Medicaid approved etc. But I don't know where to start and how to market to get clients and its stressing me out. Please tell me that you can give us some guidance.
This is as simple as ask and receive. Where do you think patients are in high concentration. Hospitals, Doctors offices, senior centers. You literally need to talk to people and let them know who you are. Then follow-up.
Hi Carol, sorry bro, if I spelled your name wrong, I'm Beth, really enjoyed listening to your videoclip. My question is, do I have to register with the EFTPSF Federal Tax Deposit Obligation??, While the business permit is still in process.

Yes we can assist with startups, what state and city. We can setup home care and staffing agencies. Go to our consulting site www.passiveworkforce.com and you'll see all that is offered
I appreciate your information. I am establishing a non-medical home health agency is Philadelphia, Pa. I hired a consultant but I am not completely satisfied.
No consultant will be perfect. What I can help you with is your software and coaching how close are you to getting licensed?
I am wondering do Home health agencies need liability insurances? If so, how much does it cost?
Thank you so much for your time and sharing valuable informations!
For sure they do, they also need workers comp, and malpractice. If you need help book a consultation with me at entplife.com
Great information

Hi. I am illiterate when it comes to this arena, but I want to learn. When do people on your “team” start getting paid? Is it once business takes off or would it be part of the start up budget? Do board members get paid? Thank you!
up to you on how to design your compensation. I and Laura are not drawing a salary until we hit 5M in revenue.
Hi there! Love your videos. I'm in Florida as well. I'm looking for information to start up a registry (not agency) do you have details more on this by chance?

Hi, I’m Tania, RN from NY! I love your content, it’s very thorough. I am in the beginning phases of it all so it does seem a bit overwhelming. But I guess that feeling comes with all new ventures. Just a few questions. Generally, does a CHAA or LHCSA have lower start up costs? I’m trying to decide what type of home health care agency I would like to start. It seems like you said a CHHA may have great payouts for professional services but may be short term and LHCSAs may some nursing services but mostly personal care services but these services are likely to be provide on a long term basis?
Please tell me if I’m incorrect. If so a LHCSA seems most appealing and may be most beneficial on a long term basis.
What other things should I consider in making this decision?
Hi Tania, Are you aware of the application restrictions in NY. Basically you have to start your agency in a hard to service location or buy a dormant license, especially if in NYC. That's more important than the start up costs. NYC LHCSA license sells for 300k these days and CHHAs forget it those are rarely issued and not the business you want. Your best bet is to find someone with a dormant license and buy it or partner with them. If you want some more help or guidance in healthcare entrepreneurship you can book a call with my team at www.passiveworkforce.com
@@Karl__Pierre yes I was actually just looking at the counties with and without a need. I live in Westchester County and was hoping to service that area but it like I would have to provide a rebuttal for the presumption to no need and honestly that sounds like a long shot! Does obtaining a dormant license involve the same steps?
Starting in Mississippi
Cool
I’m having trouble finding how to build a pharmacy for a service provided with a home infusion business can you help me direct my searches to a specific website that helps with How to be as competitive as possible
I can put you in contact with an owner. Email info@entplife.com
Thanks. I am a NP in CA and really would like to open an agency. I am just getting started so these videos are so helpful! Did you start out accepting medicare right away or first private? I am unsure on what to charge for client fees or pay!
Hey Allie! Shoot me an email by using the contact form on my homecare software site www.ontimeits.com there I can get way more detailed and see how I can address all your questions. I started in NY as a medicaid/private duty agency. This adventure that I am on in florida is my first stab at the medicare side of it. That being said to research rates would require you do basic market research. Call 10 agencies in your area at "ask for a friend" what the rates are hahaha. Then do the same asking about pay rates as an aide. With 20 calls you'll get your market data and know how to price yourself and how much to pay your staff. Medicare rates are published.
Hello 👋🏼 hru😊I’m in the state of Indiana

Hello, If I already have a NPI in one state do I need to apply for another one? Or will the same number be ok?
No need
I like your content but my question is do you have someone that handles your billing? Maybe someone that does your accounts receivable and accounts payable? Thanks
Yes I have that and also provide the service. I have my own EMR for non skilled home care, and I have a team of accountants that you can hire on a part time basis to handle all financial processes. Booking keeping, billing, ar, ap, payroll, pre tax preparation. We also can arrange for your annual Tax filings. Email me at INFO@ENTPLIFE.COM
I am in MICHIGAN and have started the basics. But I feel stuck and overwhelmed. I have reached out to consultants but since I’m just starting out and can’t afford it.
If that's the case you shouldn't start. Not to kill the dream but you're not ready.
Will you disclose your recommendation for a consultant on starting HHA in FL. I am in the Orlando area and seeking legal counsel.
Email me at info@aaidebook.com and I will make the introduction
ENTP LIFE are you available for consult?
@@ziebutterfly3856in all honesty I can't. I start consultations at $450/hour with a $2000 retainer and I don't have the time to do so. But if you do have questions check out my lives which I sort of consult for free. Additionally if you want me to introduce you to another consultant that can help I'd be more than happy to make the intro. Let me know.
It seems like need one RN in house for NY application? Is it correct? Do it has to be employed full time? Thanks
They need to be on the application and available when the state comes in. I'm not sure if NY is issuing more licenses. They don't have to be full-time per se. Just need to be there within 2 hours if state shows up.
CNA with over 20 years, how can I utilize that now.

Yes we can help www.passiveworkforce.com
How do we find out an hourly rate for home care here in California, Stanislaus, SAN Joaquin and Merced counties. As we are waiting on our State Lic. and it should be coming shortly, but we are not aware of how much to charge. Thank You'
Hi Jose, exciting times ahead. There's alot to cover for a startup agency related to pricing and organizing your success best thing is to book time with me to discuss. calendly.com/entp-life
Florida also requires you to have $100-200k in the bank before they will issue you a license.
Has that been your personal experience?
Hi thanks for your educational videos, what do you think of starting home health with franchise what are the pros and cons
I've never done it. Pro's are help with structure and getting started cons are fees, loss of freedom, and limited territory.
What state and city are you in?

@@Karl__Pierre does your company do partnerships with entrepreneurs on hh start up business?
Hello...as a LVN am I able to open a medical and non medical agency?
Yes but most likely will need to bring an RN on as your DON especially for skilled agency. If you need help starting your business I recommend booking a call at www.passiveworkforce.com to talk it through and see what is the best option for you.
Man I have so many questions for you but don’t know where to start. Like being independent or franchises? I have been looking around at different owners like yourself and wondering do you think courses are worth it? Or can you master this on your own? Thanks again for the info bro!!
My thoughts are you need to know that margins are thin in home health. 10-15% on average. That being said the franchisees usually get you for about 3% on your revenue meaning your margin will be 7-12%. The positive about the franchise is it greatly reduces your trial and error or starting on your own. It's faster to get started faster to get rolling. Not all companies are created equal. At this stage I personally wouldn't do a franchise but if I were just starting and had the funds I would consider it. It's all a matter of choice.
My state is Virginia Dept. Of health
cool contact them - if you need help starting out email me at Karl@solislpierre.com subject line and Staffing Agency so we can talk about this further.
Hi, I'm just now starting watching your videos on Home Health Care Agencies, and they are very helpful. Do you happen to know of where I can find info or books on how to run the business? Like day to day operations, methods on how to find patients, payments, etc. I just don't know exactly where to start. I've hired a consultant but they are not very helpful so I'm teaching myself at this point. Anything would be helpful, Thank you.
Most of this should be covered in your policy and procedures. What state are you in? Have you seen my live videos?
@@Karl__Pierre I'm in Texas and no I have not seen you live videos. I'll tune in!
Hello Karl, when you start the application process for home care agency, do you have to use office address ? Or can you submit it with a residential address and update later? Can you clarify that, thank you!
Hello. It all depends on your state. Check your state guidelines. Here in Florida must have an office, with a zoning letter from the city saying that the address provided is in fact a commercial address. Where are you located?

Hi ENTP, I'm a nurse. I'm thinking to open an agency that could provide nursing assistance and nurses. Other people are saying that I need to have at least 100k on my account.
This is true. This is what medicare requires if you are expecting to be a medicare provider. The idea is you need money to float your operation as you wait for Medicare to reimburse. If you were doing private duty or Medicaid this may not matter as much. What state are you in and what sort of agency?
@@Karl__Pierre thank you for responding, I'm currently in Florida, Miami, I'm waiting for this virus to pass. I'm planning on open a home health care agency where I would go to provide care at their house. Thank you so much for your answer.

Hi, 👋 Karl. I’m currently looking into opening a HHA as well. I’ve looked into purchasing a franchise or hiring a consultant. I’ve spoken to one consultant however he is not located in Florida and I’m not sure if it would be a good fit since he is in another state. I also verifies with the department of state to see if their company was legit and it is. I’m ready to start the process but I’m looking for a good team that is willing to put in the time. I checked the moratorium like you advised and Florida had one until July 29 2020. Would that cause me to take longer when I apply for my license? Or does it just apply to when I’m getting licensed by Medicare and Medicaid?
Hi Karen, email me at info@aaidebook.com and I will connect you with Florida Consultant I am using.
Hey Karl, I am working to start a HHA in the DMV area. I wanted to know if you personally know which specific area is the best to start a business in? Also if I am hiring a consultant, what exactly would their role be in the process?
Email me info@entplife.com
If i hire a consultant, can’t I use those policies that they make for me on the application?
Yes, if you need one on one help book a call with me
Can you get a NIP number without being licensed through the state of Florida?
NPI number is national provider Number. If you are independent nurse or professional you can apply one. Google apply for NPI number and read what it says.
Thank you
Hello Karl, I’m just starting my non-medical home care agency, but I seem to be stuck with what to give the caregivers in their new hire package once selected. Can you let me know what you recommend how you candle? And do you interview in groups (zoom) during COVID-19? I am required to train before sending to a client, so how do you avoid paying caregivers for training when you have no clients? Thanks so much for any help do I can start making a difference.
Hi Kechia - email me using my site www.ontimeits.com from there I can setup a call with you and maybe a few others to address these concerns.
Thank you and my apology for all the typos. I know I was exhausted but how embarrassing. Lol
What if you a trying to start a Private business?
No sure what you mean. Can you please expand on your question?
Hi I am first time business owner of a home health agency in FL. Do you offer mentoring-ship?
Yes I do you can schedule a session here calendly.com/entp-life
I have been approved by Medicaid but how do I get clients.
You contact referral sources. What state are you in and what software are you using? My company coaches startups if they are using our software. Email me karl@solislapierre.com Subject Line OnTIME ITS HomeCare
Please, most the owner of the homecare agency have 5 years of work experience after getting his/her license?
I'm not sure what you're asking?
Can this info be applied to homemaker/companion service companies? I am looking to start that first then scale up once I can raise the capital to do so, or do you think Staffing/training is the way?
Training is not the way. You will be limited based on class room size. Go staffing or homecare route.
Good morning how can I get in contact with you sir?
OMG thank you.
You're welcome!
