by karangwa Jan 8I just got the license in mail today for my homecare agency.I have been working in homecare for 4 years as field nurse (never in management). I know for I will be taking strictly private pay for now as I am not yet medicare certified (I applied). I am open to do skilled nursing services,HHA,Homemaking. Any idea on how can I get that first patient? Thanks for your help.

- Jan 10 by NedRNAre you still working in homecare? Ask your clients how they found the agency you work for. That is how to make yourself discoverable to new clients.
- Jan 10 by karangwaActually the homecare co.I work for is a sister Co. to the biggest hospital in my state.So all pts discharged and in need of home care are sent to us. So it's a bit different from my start up home care agency. Thanks though for your input.
- Jan 11 by HealthcaresolutionsIf you dont mind me asking, what state are you in? And how long did it take you to get your licence?

- Jan 12 by NedRNIt is hard to compete with horizontal integration from the local monopoly! Are there other home health companies in the area? See what you can learn about how they acquire clients. Google home health "your area" and see if ads pop up. Either way, consider a web page for yourself and using Google AdWords to drive traffic. Then when anyone does the search mentioned above, your name will come up. Get creative. Visit support groups and pass out business cards. Social workers could be a great source of referrals.
