California
California Dept of Public Health (CDPH)
- The biggest US market, and the hardest to enter.
- We run your full CDPH application from start to approval.
- Covers home health agencies and non-medical home care.
- You do not need to be a nurse to own the agency.
- Non-medical home care is licensed by Social Services, not CDPH.
- Skilled nursing needs a CDPH license and a registered nurse director.
- Owners, 5% part-owners and administrators need fingerprint background checks.
