Start a Non-Medical Home Care Business

Non-medical home care business has been an industry for sometime now and this is one kind of business does not only provide you the profit that you have projected but most of all this gives you the opportunity to help alleviate the everyday lives of many people.

. Start a non-medical home care business and see for yourself what I am saying.

A non-medical care business is a very rewarding business not only in the financial aspect but also in the knowledge that you are able to help people alleviate their everyday lives by taking care of their loved ones.

If you are considering on starting a non-medical home care business you have to study the entire business itself. Going into something which you hardly know will only mean wasting your time and your money. You have four options in doing this kind of business: purchase an existing company, join a membership network, purchase a franchise or start on your own. Either way you have to carefully study which option you prefer best. Research, research and more research is what you need to focus on at first. Do you have viable market in the area where you are planning to put up you non–medical home care business. It is best that you put you’re business in the affluent side of the area which you prefer to build your business since this is where most people who can afford to dish out money for the care of their loved ones.

Every company must create company guidelines and policies. This will be the creed of your non-medical home care business that must be followed strictly to ensure the safety of your staffs and most of your entire client. Bear in mind that you dealing with human beings and that extra care and attention are so badly needed. You wouldn’t want to be accused of mishandling your clients; this will be start of your downfall. Remember, create company guidelines and policies which are attainable and sustainable for you, your staffs and your client.

Secure a great team and hire the best employees; sales person, bookkeeper, accountants and auditors, heath care providers, physical therapists, nurses (RN/LPN), nurses’ aides and caregivers are just some of the staffs that you need in your non-medical home care business. Why hire these medical professionals even though you are running a non-medical home care? These are the people that have the education and the knowledge in the art of taking care of human lives.

Where do you get your clients? Get connected with hospitals, physical rehabilitation centers, churches, nursing facilities, charitable institutions and Non-Government Association’s which deals with people who need this kind of services and daycare and adult daycare facilities. These are just few institutions that can refer clients to your non-medical home care business.

    After a 2 year hiatus (caring for my Mom) I'm looking at opening a business, I've never considered it an option to change fields and this caught my eye for several reasons. My former businesses were closely related to medical care, yet worlds apart. This wouldn't be a stretch, although a radical change.

    My Dad, 81, is living in a government VA retirement home and after a series of strokes qualified for an "Aid and Assistance" pension. He got His acceptance letter a bit over a week ago. The VA made me aware that the facility he is in is not licensed for assisted living. They are going to get away with it, most likely, for a while longer. My Dad is not willing to stay here and from what I understand, would eventually lose his pension should He not be in an assisted living facility and from what I understand, won't be very long.

    I have a house he is wanting to live in with me. He is exhibited anxiety, fear (He's scared to death he will be living in a state facility or on the streets, only when it's proven will that mindset be depleted. My words are not reassurance, his once powerful and 'in control' world has taken a turn.) He is dependent and denying this little slice of non-heaven.) Would it be possible to get my home licensed as an assisted living facility in Alabama and utilize your services? Is that acceptable? I spoke with a long-time friend and he is willing to be his home health care worker. He is licensed and experienced.

    If this is an option, what a wonderful bit of knowledge this would be, to kill two bird with one stone (my business AND my Dad a comfort zon., This facility has taken him so far down that He is now depressed, taken His dignity as He is treated like a child. The management uses "punishment" to intimidate. I'm so sad for my Dad, and in no way would I even approach Him to discuss this issue, I can't let Him feel I'm 'mothering' Him. I say nothing to the staff nor do I attempt to deplete His fear. (He practically holds me back if He has a suspicion that I may approach the staff, practically in tears.) The angst? I have been trying to deal quietly with.

    To be a part of making sure that another ill, lonely, or elderly person is made to feel this way is a blessing I can only dream of and imagine. I don't know if the pension would pay for this option, I'm hoping someone here can help me. I've looked on VA.gov and can't find the info necessary. All in all, Dad is very upset that He will have to pay for the months He has lived here (we were told differently when being solicited) and give up the 'aid and assistance' program because he will not be in an licensed assisted living home, per se. To be able to overcome this obstacle is my immediate goal. If it is possible to have my home licensed, I would love to be a part of your business and training program.

    To see my Dad breathe a sigh of relief would be proof that Jiminy Cricket DOES exist and my indebtedness to your Company be, in order of importance, far and away above any financial investment that goes with the territory. To be in this business has never been considered. Now, I'm amazingly hopeful and excited about the prospect of this business, itself... not to mention the positive effect it would have on my Dad's situation.

    Thank you for indulging my lengthy e-mail and I look forward to interacting with the people that are posting on this forum and any advice that is out there will be greatly appreciated. I hope there will be a topic I can chime in on and be of assistance to someone, taking advantage of the beauty of forums... participating in the interaction. Thank you... Sandra Lowe
