Arizona Personal Care Complete Startup Package

No general ADHS agency license applies to a standalone private-pay business limited to nonmedical personal care in clients’ homes. This package addresses business setup, policies, personnel, client documents, marketing, and operational readiness. AHCCCS/ALTCS participation is separate.

It is a business that furnishes nonmedical assistance such as dressing, grooming, toileting, bathing, standby assistance, meal preparation, housekeeping, shopping, companionship, transportation, and errands within its lawful service scope.

This startup package focuses on non-medical personal care, including assistance with activities of daily living and related instrumental activities of daily living.

ADHS licenses medical and residential health care institutions, but it generally does not issue a separate agency license to this private-pay nonmedical personal-care business model. AHCCCS administers Medicaid provider enrollment and ALTCS program requirements.

Arizona generally does not require a separate ADHS agency license for a standalone private-pay business limited to nonmedical personal care in clients’ homes. Complete all applicable entity, tax, local business, zoning, employment, insurance, and screening requirements before operating.

AHCCCS/ALTCS participation is separate and may require provider enrollment, contracting, Direct Care Worker training and competency, fingerprinting, and other program requirements.

There is no general ADHS personal-care agency application or temporary license for this private-pay nonmedical business model. If the agency will bill AHCCCS/ALTCS or provide regulated health services, complete the separate approvals that apply before serving those clients.

Screening depends on the worker’s role and payer program. Employers should verify current fingerprint-clearance, criminal-history, exclusion-check, driving-record, and AHCCCS/ALTCS requirements before assignment.

Exact requirements depend on the applicant's ownership, personnel, services, location, and application details. Arizona requirements generally include items such as:

• Entity, tax, local business, zoning, employment, and insurance requirements.
• Ownership, management, location, service descriptions, and client agreements.
• Arizona-specific personnel, privacy, safety, complaint, emergency, and operational policies.
• Role- and payer-specific screening, training, competency, and supervision records.
• Separate AHCCCS/ALTCS enrollment and contracting when the agency will serve those programs.

Home Health Forms will provide guidance and support to accomplish these requirements.

The application requires the provider’s business address. The office must support administration, communication, and secure records and must satisfy applicable local zoning, lease, privacy, accessibility, and business requirements.

A proposed home-based office must still satisfy ADHS operational and recordkeeping requirements plus local zoning, business-license, lease or homeowners-association, privacy, accessibility, and safety rules.

An Arizona personal care provider may provide services that help a client remain safely at home. These may include:

• Attendant care and assistance with activities of daily living.
• Housekeeping, shopping, laundry, meal planning and preparation, and cleaning.
• Companionship, fellowship, transportation, letter writing, mail reading, and escort services.
• Other personal care within the lawful Arizona scope and the client service plan.

Personnel must be screened, trained, competent, and supervised for assigned duties. Skilled nursing and therapeutic services require appropriate Home Health Agency authority and licensed professional personnel.
