starting a non medical hpemacre business and need to find a insured and bonded company for my business

Hi I am in the home health business for elderly and disabled people.Alot of people want 24 hour care for their loved ones however it gets really expensive! However I am seeing a trend in home care where home health agencies are trying to offer services cheaper to clients and charing a daily rate instead of an hourly rate and paying their employee’s a daily rate. For instance charge a client $165 for 24 hour care and then pay the employee $65 or so. I have done home and 24 hour care before I did my business and I know how hard that home care can be and how much work is involved. Even if you count 8 hours of sleep time you are still getting paid about $4 an hour for 16 hours. My question is doing this fair and legal to workers? I also try to tell clients you are paying for the quality of care cause if anyone takes $50/day for 24 of work you will not receive top care. How is this legally ok I am in Michigan and do you think I should consider this method like a few agencies are doing?

want to set up with 2 care workers a small home care business and want to find out what we need to do and how much will it cost. also who to contact for work.

i am in Indiana or can you tell me also the best state to do this business.Thank you

Does anybody know a good website I can check out to start this home care business? I don’t know where to start and need to know about bonded and workers comp and all that in California. BUT i’ve heard of some companies only hiring their caregivers as contractors and have them be responsible for filing tax at the end of the year.. Don’t know if that’s illegal or not.. Anybody know anything about this business?

I am having trouble locating and advertising my senior home care business. I get most of my work through referrals, but it grows my business at a very slow pace. I have advertised at senior centers, but that has not proved very fruitful. I need a creative way of reaching seniors and/or their families and caregivers.
Thanks!

any business owner out there can tell me how did you get started in this type of business.

I am in the process of getting my license for a Elderly home care business. I am looking for some good ideas for a name, i’ve come up with a few but i dont like them, can someone please throw me a few ideas?> It would be greatly appreciated…

I have a background in nursing (will either use just lvn/by the time I start this planned business up I may have my rn by then…) + experience w/ the developmentally disabled + seniors. I’m not familiar w/ progs. avail. in the houston, tx area so any advice would be appreciated. Where should I start looking, any programs similar to alta regional (prog. in n. california that works w/ small care home businesses + the developmentally disabled) you may know of? Thanks in advance!!!
