Starting home care agency.

[carol1964]

This is my first post. I am currently a CNA, but I have a full-time job with our public school system as a special educatin paraprofessional. It is a very stressful and frustrating job. I also have a part-time job as a home care aide. Last summer my husband brought up the subject of starting our own home care agency. I am frustrated with the company I am currently with. I brought up the home care agency issue with him a couple of weeks ago. He said something about the way the economy is. I told him there will never be a shortage of elderly people. I really want to quit my job and start this, but I won't do it unless my husband is with me on it. I am sure that I could get clients. I also have a company based in Florida that would help me out. My husband and I even came up with a name for our agency. What are opinions of other people?
