What this is
End-to-end support to license a California Home Care Organization (HCO), regulated by the California Department of Social Services (CDSS), Home Care Services Branch — under the Home Care Services Consumer Protection Act (in force since 2016). This is the non-medical, ADL-assistance route (bathing, dressing, meals, transport, companionship) into the largest home-care market in the country.
What’s included
- HCO licence application to CDSS prepared end to end (around $5,603 for a two-year licence).
- Home Care Aide Registry guidance — every aide must be listed on the state’s public registry, with Live Scan background checks, before delivering care.
- Surety bond & insurance structuring to meet California requirements.
- Policies & procedures built to California standards, with CCPA/CPRA privacy layered on top of HIPAA for California client data.
How it works
- Kick-off call to confirm structure and registry/screening plan.
- We prepare your application and policies.
- You review; we refine until it is right.
- We guide your CDSS submission and stay with you through to approval.
Indicative timeline: materially shorter than the skilled HHA route — typically a few months. Fees and timelines change, so we confirm current figures with CDSS as part of your project.
