Start a Private Duty Business

As a member of The Senior’s Choice, you will benefit from the most comprehensive training, support services and business start-up package in the industry.

Here’s a picture of your Start-Up Package, complete with training manuals, DVD’s, brochures, guidebooks and plenty more:

Mind you, that’s not all of it. After all, it would be pretty hard to show you the 50 different marketing and advertising pieces you have at your disposal to customize and modify any way you please…or the dozens of forms needed for everyday work that you can instantly begin using…or all the policies and procedures you’ll be able to implement immediately. In fact, the contents of our Start-Up Package are so comprehensive that members have taken time out of their busy day to tell us so, like Adele Belfsky:

“The training seminar more than met my expectations and your scheduling software is outstanding!! Your materials and training helped us to pass our state’s inspection to get our license as a Home Health Care Provider; the inspector was amazed at how well we were prepared for him and the quality of the Caregiver training and paperwork as well as the materials for client care plans and assessment. All we did was follow the policies and procedures you had outlined for us. It went well for us because of the quality materials, training, and support that you provided.”
