You will be required to have a personal care business license in California, Florida, Texas, Nevada, Georgia, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island, North Carolina, South Carolina, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Kansas. This license is required because personal care services provided hands-on assistance to patients in areas of activities in their daily living. There are several states that do not require a personal care license, they are Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, Iowa, Idaho, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Mississippi, New Mexico, Ohio, and Vermont. Presently they’re only a few states whereby dual licenses are required for personal care businesses and /or companion care businesses. Another factor in considering opening a personal care business is staffing and requirements. These may differ accordingly to the state that the agency will be doing business in.
