Any advise with my new home care agency?

You need to take some time to rest and recuperate. You don't want to quit before you get started. One thing you need to do, judging from reading your post, is to learn how to cut down on your stress and put things into perspective. Running yourself into the ground will only destroy your health and your enjoyment of your work. You might want to run an ad in the paper, put up flyers on the bulletin boards at local HR departments, or go through your employment office to find a nurse to hire. As far as figuring out what to charge or what to pay your employees, you might want to call an agency and pose a question or two. You can pretend to be a propective client or a prospective employee without identifying yourself. One of the agencies that I worked for in the past had a handout for prospective clients that listed their hourly rates. I picked one up one day out of curiosity. It was very straightforward. Perhaps you could enlist the aid of a friend or relative to call with these questions. For general business help, there are agencies out there that assist people with their new businesses. I would do some research on these. They can offer you free or low cost advice on your business plan, start up activities, etc. Good luck.

An afterthought: As far as what to charge customers, a good rule of thumb is roughly twice the hourly rate of the employee you are going to send to the home. If you intend to pay a home health aide , say, $10 an hour, then you can expect to charge the private pay customer $20 an hour for these services. One agency charged one of my clients $204 for each 8 hour shift for an LPN. They paid the LPN $16 or $17 an hour. Not quite double, but in the ballpark. Hope you can get an RN to help you get started with your venture.

This is never good!!!
I agree with decreasing your stress level- more like bringing it under subjection. Looking ahead if you get this stressed before actually getting started how will you be able to handle the business ups and down- because there will be some.
Regarding finding a nurse, ask your professor from "comminuty health nursing", seek nurses who are already working in homecare-maybe they wouldn't mind a parttime job or "agency" (higher paying) job.
Never rush!! Or feel rushed!!! Maybe this isn't the time. Everything has it's time and it's season. So don't be afraid of set backs- there maybe more of them to come. I do encourage you to stay patient, longsuffering, determined, committed, and focused on your desires.

Craigslist, man your ultimate hiring resource!
