i was actually thinking about something along these lines recently. what does someone without a health services background need to open a business like this? Does the owner need to be certified or can the owner simply hire certified personnel (be it home health or therapy)? i have a business background managing personnel but nothing in health (but i want to get into health because that's not something that's going away).

i haven't done much research. but i know a particular east tx family who have made what i estimate to be at the low end a few hundred million in hospice services.

they've been in business for quite a while, though, and are all over Texas and Louisiana.

I would sincerely doubt you need any licensing to get manage the business, but you'd obviously need to hire qualified employees . The owner is just a hard working good ole baw who was insightful and saw where the industry was headed, and made strides to fill that gap in small towns.
