Our Personal Home Care Business Model is Different
We Are a Contract-Focused Business Model
Unlike online "gurus" focusing only on private pay clients, pushing you into a franchise business model, or offering any number of other get-rich-quick schemes, Home Care Access (HCA) is a contract-focused business model. Why? Because contracts offer a more stable, turn-key client base while reducing your need for full or part-time marketers.
Of course, HCA is committed to preparing and teaching you how to find and cultivate private pay clients, but especially with an increasing number of hospitals, medical centers, and rehabilitation facilities offering in-home healthcare services, finding and recruiting private pay clients can be a repetitive and daunting challenge. Established facilities already have a competitive advantage. For this reason, anyone offering claims of overnight riches and 7-figure success in a short period of time with only a handful of private pay clients is an absolute fraud. Turn and run!
There is no such thing as get-rich-quick with home care, but with HCA, we are going to guide you through the process. We are going to get your agency licensed, compliant, operational, and secure contracts so clients are placed with your agency which reduces marketing and recruitment efforts while increases your top and bottom lines.
Home Care Access is not a franchise. HCA is committed to empowering YOU and increasing your brand.
