Can I have a nurse registry/home health/homemaker companion agency under one license number?
Nurse registries and home health agencies are separately licensed. Homemaker companion services are separately registered. There is no need to have a homemaker companion registration if you intend to get licensed as a home health agency or a nurse registry since the home health agencies and nurse registries can provide homemakers and companions under their licenses. These are only a few of the differences. For more information, please review the Florida Statutes and the Florida Administrative Code with each of these programs at this web site. If you have a question on whether or not your business needs to be licensed and the type of license call the Home Care Unit at (850) 414-6010 and ask to speak to a home health licensure specialist.
