Pennsylvania's Department of Health regulates home care agencies and home care registries under 28 Pa. Code Chapter 611. Agencies generally must obtain the appropriate license before operating, and each physical location must be separately licensed.
DSM can help agencies organize and evaluate their readiness in areas such as:
Licensing application preparation and document organization
Caregiver background checks, screening, and competency documentation
Policies and procedures
Personnel files and recordkeeping
Internal compliance assessments
Audit preparation and corrective action planning
DSM World Consulting provides independent business and compliance consulting. Licensing decisions and regulatory approvals remain with the appropriate government authorities.
