Out here in Los Angeles, a job of this type would earn about $100.00 a day live-in.

Nice, Ermala. The health benefits of acupuncture, acupressure, and reflexology are verifiable and coming into acceptance.\n\nIt would be best if you also studied Chiropractic Medicine or Rolfing (Structural Reintegration) so you can set up a whole Studio of alternative therapies.\n\nCurrently, you can charge about $100/hour for such services. Not at all bad money. Add in little machines for ultrasound, a hot tub, a tanning salon, and you'll have a great business going.\n\nGood luck.

If you will be operating a non-profit health center, then you may be able to get a grant. But hardly for a for-profit organization.\n\nHere are some samples of grants available for senior care for non profits:\n\n94.002 - Retired and Senior Volunteer Program\nhttp://12.46.245.173/pls/portal30/CATALOG.SEARCH_PGM_TXT_DYN.SHOW?p_arg_names=prog_nbr_in&p_arg_values=94.002&p_arg_names=keyword_in&p_arg_values=seniors&p_arg_names=_title&p_arg_values=\nOBJECTIVES:\nThe Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) provides grants to qualified agencies and organizations for the dual purpose of engaging persons 55 and older in volunteer service to meet critical community needs; and to provide a high quality experience that will enrich the lives of volunteers. \n\nApplicant Eligibility:\nGrants are made only to public agencies, including state and local government agencies and private nonprofit organizations.\n\n93.969 Geriatric Education Centers \nhttp://12.46.245.173/pls/portal30/CATALOG.SEARCH_PGM_TXT_DYN.SHOW?p_arg_names=prog_nbr_in&p_arg_values=93.969&p_arg_names=keyword_in&p_arg_values=seniors&p_arg_names=_title&p_arg_values=\nOBJECTIVES:\nGrants are given to support the development of collaborative arrangements involving several health professions schools and health care facilities. Geriatric Education Centers provide training of health professional faculty, students, and practitioners in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease, disability, and other health problems of the elderly. Health professionals include allopathic physicians, osteopathic physicians, dentists, optometrists, podiatrists, pharmacists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, chiropractors, clinical psychologists, health administrators, and other allied health professionals. Projects supported under these grants must offer training involving four or more health professions, one of which must be allopathic or osteopathic medicine, and must address all of the following statutory purposes: (a) improve the training of health professionals in geriatrics; (b) develop and disseminate curricula relating to the treatment of the health problems of elderly individuals; (c) support training and retraining of faculty to provide instruction in geriatrics; (d) support continuing education of health professionals who provide geriatric care; and (e) provide students with clinical training in geriatrics in nursing homes, chronic and acute disease hospitals, ambulatory care centers, and senior centers. \n\nApplicant Eligibility:\nGrants may be made to accredited health professions schools as defined by Section 799B(1) of the Public Health Service Act, or programs for the training of physicians assistants as defined by Section 799B(3), or schools of allied health as defined in Section 799B(4), or schools of nursing as defined by Section 801(2). \n\nIt is hard to find grants to start a business. Unlike the myths that some perpetuate, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for a for-profit business. And yes, grants mean PAPERWORK - lots and lots of it, that is why a cottage industry of grant writers was born.\n\nNonetheless, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently. But still the info is the same - hardly any grants for starting a for profit business.\n\nEven SBA does NOT give out grants. From the SBA website http://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html... \n\n"The U.S. Small Business Administration does not offer grants to start or expand small businesses, although it does

Four years ago my HMO paid the hospital $11,000 for each of my hip replacements.  I saw the hospital bills and they were around $18,000 each, so that means that they agreed to accept the $11,000.  The surgeon's fee was not included in this amount but the prosthesis was.  I have no idea what the surgeon got.  Additional costs included one radiation treatment, home nursing, pre-op testing, blood donations, physical therapy, equipment rental, outpatient meds and about 5 office visits.\n\nMy guess is that the HMO paid about $20k for each hip.  My out-of-pocket was $200 for a private room and about $50 co-pays for equipment rental and drugs.

Most states have Home Care Commissions or Councils. Check with your state. Also, you can work through a home care agency in your city that qualifies and gets work for state-paid caregivers. Also, check the site below for Home Instead, a senior care agency home office at 668 S. College Ave. Bloomington, IN 47403, 812-961-2222. Maybe they have a location near you. Good Luck!

first, how do you plan on getting paid? most will expect medicare or insurance coverage. you must have medicare provider number in order to bill medicare, are you going to provide concentrators, equipment etc. where will you get referrals? do you have a business plan? what insurers will accept your billing? do you have enough cash reserves to last until paid? insurers and medicare never pay within 30 days. who will maintain equipment? are you going to buy new or used? what other services can you provide besides respiratory? how much insurance will you need? are you going to buy or rent oxygen cylinders? how will you handle after hours emergencies when equipment breaks or elderly patient does not operate it correctly? someone has to be on call. how much equipment will you need and where can you get fast delivery when you begin to run short? if medicare goes to competitive bidding how will you compete against national chains...apria, lincare, american home patient etc? how much competition in area? find an area underserved.\n\nanswer some of these and you will have an idea...good luck, i just sold mine.

hunny, here on yahoo! answers is NOT the place to be asking where to write a careplan...you need to get with the cna's, doctors, nurses, family, and everyone else that takes care of him in order to determine a careplan

It could be from $20 to about $50. depending on your health, smarts, looks etc.

it depends if you mean a non medical program or a visiting nurse program.\n\nvisiting nurses are only covered by medicare for 90 days after a hospitalization with acute skilled nursing need (changing dressings and bandages, etc)\n\nafter that it jumps to like 25 dollars an hour or so.... same with having a nurses assistant come in to help toilet them, thats like 15 dollars an hour.\n\ntry this... in NY (where i live ) there is a program called Expanded In Home Services for the Elderly (EISEP). there is a huge shift right now towards non institutionalized home care, and these programs are much cheaper than visiting professionals. mostly volunteers who come and assist them with dressing, cooking, and companionship. these services are not covered by Medicare and you can't get the services if you are eligible for Medicaid, but they're mostly state funded and i think the client only has to pay %15 percent of the cost. Again, this is in NY, so I'm not sure about Indiana, go to your State Department of Health Website and browse around under the Office for the Aging (or anything similar to that) and see if you can get the ball rolling.\n\ngood luck

Hi, I have a health care worker that comes ten hours a week. Most in my apartment complex have helpers. Most of our helpers are great. We know that it is hard for workers to understand our needs and we work together with our helpers to make our relationships good. Our aids become like family. The pay in Michigan is $9.00 per hr. Wages depend on agency. Make sure the agency is good to their workers. My agency is harsh on workers and they are supposed to be the best. The workers are not treated fairly. Of course, if you start your clients will help you to know what agencies work well with you and your client. Call Social Services, employment agency, hospitals, schools, and even apartment complexes for disabled. Even apartment complexes for retiree's and elderly will give you information. The pay is not much but if you are considerate and love people, you will do this job. You will not find more loving and understanding individuals as in disabled complexes. Not V A, but complexes that have disabled.

The quote is fairly reasonable. The cost will only be worth it  if you really need it and can be open minded enough to make he most of it.

Hello:\nIf you are sure that this would be a viable businesses in your area. I would create fliers and business cards (links below for lost cost options) and target families that have 2 working parents.  Give them a cost analysis of using your services to complete ironing for them as opposed to taking it all to the dry cleaner or hiring a housekeeper.  Also the elderly may be a target market, you could also possibly approach your local coin-op laundry's, ask them if they offer this service and if not ask them if perhaps they can include your card or flyer with their customers bill.  My local coin ops have a pay per pound service to have my laundry done for me, but the only one that will iron is the one that is attached to a dry cleaner (very expensive).\n\nYou may want to add other services as well (if you cant do them, maybe you can co-op with other people in your area) like sewing, alterations, laundry, errands etc.\n\nCheck out the other links, one is a forum of small business owners, they have a lnk on the left to ask questions and you can look through or post.  The other is Inc magazine, many many great articles on business. Click on "small business" "Start ups" or typr in your business and see if any articles come up.\n\nGood luck
