We provide consulting and training for the following Healthcare License Types

Home Health Agency (HHA)

A Home Health Agency (HHA) is an organization that provides healthcare services to individuals in their homes, offering a convenient and comfortable alternative to hospital or nursing home care. HHAs offer a wide range of services, including skilled nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs).

Homemaker & Companion

Homemaker and Companion services are essential support services provided by home care agencies to assist individuals who need help with daily living activities but do not require medical care. These services enhance the quality of life for seniors, individuals with disabilities, and those recovering from illness or surgery, allowing them to maintain their independence and stay in their homes.

Nurse Registry (NR)

A Nurse Registry (NR) is an organization that connects clients with licensed nurses and other healthcare professionals who provide in-home care or temporary staffing for healthcare facilities. Unlike traditional home health agencies, Nurse Registries do not employ caregivers directly but act as intermediaries, matching clients with independent contractors who offer nursing and personal care services.

Healthcare Service Pool (HSP)

A Healthcare Service Pool (HSP) is a flexible staffing solution designed to meet the dynamic needs of healthcare facilities. HSPs provide a pool of qualified healthcare professionals, including nurses, medical assistants, and allied health workers, who can be deployed to various healthcare settings on an as-needed basis. .

Assisted Living Facilities (ALF)

Assisted Living Facilities (ALFs) are residential communities designed for older adults or individuals with disabilities who require assistance with daily activities but do not need the intensive medical care provided in a nursing home. ALFs offer a blend of independence and support, allowing residents to maintain as much autonomy as possible while receiving help with tasks that may have become challenging.

Adult Day Care Center (ADCC)

An Adult Day Care Center (ADCC) is a community-based facility that provides care and supervision to older adults or individuals with disabilities during the day. These centers offer a safe and supportive environment where participants can engage in social, recreational, and therapeutic activities while receiving assistance with personal care, if needed..

Adult Family Care Home (AFCH)

An Adult Family Care Home (AFCH) is a residential care option for elderly adults or individuals with disabilities who require assistance with daily living but prefer a more homelike environment compared to traditional nursing homes or assisted living facilities. AFCHs are typically run by caregivers who live on-site and provide personalized care to a small number of residents, usually in a private home setting.

Health Care Clinic (HCC)

Healthcare clinics can be owned by doctors or private investors, offering a wide range of services such as urgent care centers, family care practices, pain management clinics, pediatric offices, and more. Whether you're a physician or an investor, owning a healthcare clinic allows you to cater to the growing demand for medical services in various specialties..
