What the Florida homemaker companion license covers
End-to-end support to register a Florida Homemaker and Companion Services provider with the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) under section 400.509, Florida Statutes. Most owners call it a Florida homemaker companion license, but AHCA issues it as a registration, not a full license: a fast, low-cost, strictly non-medical route (housekeeping, meals, shopping, transport, companionship). Hands-on personal care requires a Home Health Agency license instead, and we keep you clearly inside scope.
What’s included
- AHCA portal registration prepared end to end (the state fee is around $50 for a two-year term).
- Level 2 background screening via the AHCA Clearinghouse for owners, administrators and staff.
- Scope clarity: we make sure your services, contracts and marketing stay within homemaker and companion limits (no bathing, dressing, toileting or medication assistance). Florida law also requires every advertisement to show your AHCA registration number.
- Policies & procedures built to the registration rules, including the employment history checks the statute requires for every worker who visits clients at home.
How it works
- Kick-off call to confirm services and ownership.
- We prepare your registration and policies.
- You review; we refine until it is right.
- We guide your AHCA submission through to registration.
Indicative position: the Florida homemaker companion license is the quickest, lowest-cost legal entry into Florida home care, and a common first step before a full Home Health Agency license. Fees and timelines change, so we confirm current figures with AHCA as part of your project.
