If so, it would help to know where you live.

If you live in the U.S. you might find information on the following site to be helpful:

If you live in the U.K. there is some information on the following site that may be of help to you.

Starting up a domiciliary care agency?

A quote from that site:

"Care agencies are statutorily governed by the Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI) in England, the Care and Social Services Inspectorate Wales (CSSIW) and the Scottish Commission for the Regulation of Care (SCRC). In Northern Ireland, agencies are governed by local Health and Social Services Trusts. Agencies must be fully registered and inspected prior to offering an at-home care service."

To start a home care agency, you need to get a license from your state, form a business, get new clients and staff, market your services , and obtain insurances for your business. SCORE provide good information on starting a home care agency. You should also consider a comprehensive start up guide to help you start. Visit http://www.medicalstaffingmanuals.com
