Home Care Agency Profit
When your home care agency takes on a new client, chances are this will be a private pay client, although, your home care agency may find opportunity with Medicaid waiver programs or local VA programs.
When your home care agency does take on a new client, you will conduct a client assessment assessing the needs of your client and determining the plan of care. Once this is determined, your home care agency will set up a payment plan with the client. Depending on the services you are providing, will depend upon the hourly rate of care. Most home care agencies charge between $16 and $19 for companion care services and $18 and $22 for personal care services that require touching, like bathing. The cost of your companion care and personal care services will vary depending on where you are located.
