What this is
End-to-end support to license a Pennsylvania non-medical home care business under the PA Department of Health, Division of Home Health (28 Pa. Code Chapter 611). Pennsylvania’s distinctive feature: one chapter covers two models — a Home Care Agency (you employ the caregivers) or a Home Care Registry (you refer independent contractors). We help you pick the right one.
What’s included
- Agency vs Registry decision — a genuine business-model choice (employer liability/control vs a referral model) under the same Chapter 611 standards and the same low ~$100 fee.
- Licence application through Pennsylvania’s new mandatory online portal (mailed/emailed submissions are being phased out from March 2026).
- Policies & procedures built to Chapter 611, including background/child-abuse clearances and TB screening for direct-care staff.
- Submission guidance and follow-up through the Division of Home Health.
How it works
- Kick-off call to choose Agency vs Registry and confirm scope.
- We prepare your application and policies.
- You review; we refine until it is right.
- We guide your online submission and stay with you through to approval.
Indicative position: one of the lower-barrier non-medical routes in the country (a ~$100 fee and no Certificate of Need), now fully online. Fees and timelines change, so we confirm current figures with the PA Department of Health as part of your project.
