Support Options
Start with what you need. Build from there.
Every healthcare agency is different. Some owners need professionally developed policies and implementation tools. Others want hands-on help preparing the licensing application. And some need broader clinical, operational, accreditation, survey-readiness, or regulatory support.
Our model lets you choose the support that makes sense for your agency...without requiring you to purchase services you do not need.
Options 1 and 2 provide clearly defined deliverables. When your needs extend beyond those services, we build a customized engagement around your agency’s specific stage, goals, and priorities.
Your scope and price are established before work begins.
Three ways to work with us
Whether you need the compliance foundation, licensing application support, or a broader consulting engagement, you can begin with the services that fit your agency today.
Policy & Compliance Toolkit
For agencies managing their own application process.
The agency is responsible for completing, submitting, and managing its own application filing.
Application Preparation & Support
For agencies that want hands-on assistance preparing and organizing their filing.
Customized Agency Support
For agencies that need professional support beyond a defined licensing package. We develop a clearly defined scope around your agency’s current stage, priorities, and goals.
Clinical expertise is coordinated within your selected package based on your agency’s needs.
Your services, responsibilities, timeline, and price are defined before the engagement begins.
No unnecessary services. No surprise pricing.
Before work begins, we identify what is included, what your agency is responsible for, and the price of the engagement. Government filing fees, accreditation fees, background checks, and other third-party expenses are listed separately when applicable.
Start with the foundation
SouthStart develops policies and supporting compliance resources for home care in states without agency licensure, licensed non-medical care, skilled services without Medicare, Medicare-certified home health, and hospice. Each package reflects the applicable state and service model.
Non-Medical Home Care
State-specific policies for non-medical home care, personal care, and companion-service agencies.
Home Health
Policies structured for home health licensure, operations, and federal regulatory compliance.
Hospice
CHAP Verified hospice manuals supporting licensure, accreditation, and regulatory readiness.
Your policy package includes a comprehensive manual and applicable supporting forms, job descriptions, and implementation tools. Contents vary by state and service line. Home health and hospice packages include two years of applicable federal regulatory updates; state-licensed non-medical packages include two years of applicable state regulatory updates, from the date of purchase.
See what’s included at SouthStartWhat makes our model different
SouthStart develops the state-specific policies, tools, and supporting materials. NorthEnd uses that same framework to prepare and guide the licensing application. Because the work is coordinated from the beginning, clients do not have to piece together disconnected documents and advice from separate providers.
State-specific alignmentPolicies, tools, and application support are built around the same requirements.
Support beyond the formsSelect the level of preparation, organization, and readiness guidance your agency needs.
A coordinated process
Every engagement requires agency participation. The agency is responsible for providing accurate information, credentials, records, signatures, third-party documents, and operational decisions. SouthStart and NorthEnd provide the regulatory framework, document preparation, licensing guidance, and support included in the agreed scope.
Availability, included services, and pricing vary by state, provider type, application pathway, and selected level of support. Government and third-party fees are separate.
