About the North Carolina home care agency license
End-to-end support for a North Carolina home care agency license, regulated by NC DHHS, Division of Health Service Regulation (DHSR) (G.S. 131E-135 through 131E-142; 10A NCAC 13J). This non-medical and in-home aide route requires no Certificate of Need, the key contrast with home health, making it a comparatively low-barrier entry into a fast-growing market.
What’s included in your North Carolina home care package
- Home Care Agency license application for DHSR, prepared end to end. DHSR charges a $510 nonrefundable fee for an initial application.
- Survey readiness: North Carolina requires an in-office initial survey before the license issues; we get your policies and operations ready for it.
- Policies & procedures built to 10A NCAC 13J for in-home aide and personal-care services, plus guidance on the DHSR-approved training course first-time owners must complete.
- Completion management: all requirements must be met within 12 months of paying the initial fee; we keep you on track.
How it works
- Kick-off call to confirm services and service area.
- We prepare your North Carolina home care application and policies.

- We guide submission and ready you for the in-office survey through to approval.
Indicative position: low barrier (no CON), with an initial in-office survey gating the license. DHSR says it cannot set specific time frames for a North Carolina home care agency license, because timing depends on how complete the application is and on surveyor workload.
North Carolina’s Medicaid expansion (December 2023) has sharply widened the population using in-home care, a genuine tailwind. Fees and timelines change, so we confirm current figures with DHSR as part of your project.
