A WiseCaregiving alternative that does the state-specific work for you
WiseCaregiving sells a $69.95 generic home care policy manual in Microsoft Word where you insert your own state administrative codes and business details. It is a fine, low-cost starting point if you want to do that mapping yourself. We are the alternative for owners who would rather we do the state-specific work and hand them a manual already keyed to their state's licensing rule.
