HEAR WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY:
Mother & Daughter
Homemaker Agency → skilled nurse registry
“My daughter and I started our nonmedical homemaker agency with almost nothing but a license and a lot of hustle. Caregiverbusinesses.com walked us through the setup and, more importantly, helped us focus on John Hancock LTC insurance clients instead of chasing every lead. Just the two of us, we built the caseload to $300,000. When we were ready for the next step, we came back. They helped us add the Skilled Nurse Registry and hire our first RN so we could keep growing without burning out. We still run lean. We just run smarter.”
— Mother & daughter owners, Lexi & Brianne, Florida homemaker agency & nurse registry
Nonmedical → APD MedWaiver → group home
“I opened a nonmedical homemaker agency first, then used Caregiverbusinesses.com again when I was ready to add the APD MedWaiver side. That expansion changed the business. Later they helped me open a group home in the Florida Panhandle. Every step felt like the same team who already knew my numbers, my market, and what the state would actually ask for. I didn’t have to start over with a new consultant each time I leveled up.”
— Sarah, Homemaker agency, APD waiver provider & group home
Nurse registry + fishing-tournament contract
“We opened our nurse registry with Caregiverbusinesses.com and then landed something nobody in our circle had seen: a contract putting an RN on every boat at a major fishing tournament, giving saline IVs so anglers didn’t go down from dehydration. What started as a one-event idea became a long-term contract. They didn’t just help us get licensed. They helped us think like operators who could take an unusual opportunity and turn it into recurring work.”
— Dina, Nurse registry owner, Florida
Retired RN who wanted ownership, not another staff job
“After years as a bedside RN I was done working someone else’s schedule. Caregiverbusinesses.com helped me open a skilled nurse registry instead of buying a franchise I couldn’t control. They were honest about cash flow, staffing, and what ‘registry’ actually means under Florida rules. Six months in I have a small, reliable book of private-duty and insurance cases and I still get to be a nurse—just on my terms.”
— Angela, RN / nurse registry owner
Husband-and-wife team who started with Medicaid waiver, then added private pay
“We thought we had to pick one lane: waiver or private pay. Caregiverbusinesses.com showed us how to open the APD / Medicaid waiver side first so we had a base, then layer private-pay homemaker and companion services without mixing the two illegally. That structure kept us compliant and profitable. We’re not the biggest agency in the county. We’re the one that isn’t drowning in billing chaos.”
—Diondre & Patrice
Solo operator who used LTC insurance as the wedge, then hired family
“I started alone, targeting long-term care insurance clients the way Caregiverbusinesses.com laid out—not ‘anyone who needs help,’ but the people whose policies actually pay. Once the caseload was steady I brought my sister on as operations and we added the nurse registry so we could keep higher-acuity clients instead of discharging them. The advice that stuck: build the book first, then add the license that matches the book. We didn’t get ahead of our census, and that’s why we’re still open.”
— Janis, HHA Solo founder turned family-run agency
