About HRC Consulting
Built by People Who've Done It — For People Who Are Doing It
HRC Consulting was founded on a simple belief: every entrepreneur who wants to open a home care agency deserves expert guidance — not guesswork, not generic templates, and not a process that leaves them stranded when things get complicated.
Our Story
HRC Consulting — Honest & Reliable Care Consulting — was born in Washington State, one of the most rigorously regulated home care markets in the country. We didn't start as consultants. We started as operators, navigating the same licensing processes, policy requirements, and regulatory hurdles that our clients face today.
What we learned operating in Washington State's demanding regulatory environment became the foundation for everything we do. The standards we developed — for documentation, compliance, survey preparation, and operational structure — are the same standards we bring to clients in every state we serve.
Over the years, we've helped entrepreneurs across the country turn their vision of owning a home care agency into a licensed, operating reality. We've worked with first-time business owners who had never filed a state application, and with experienced healthcare professionals who needed help navigating a new state's requirements. Every engagement has made us better at what we do.
Our Mission
To give every home care and home health entrepreneur the expert guidance, state-specific knowledge, and practical support they need to launch a compliant, successful agency — regardless of which state they're in or where they're starting from.
Honesty
We tell clients what they need to hear, not what they want to hear. That means realistic timelines, accurate cost projections, and straightforward assessments of their market and regulatory environment.
Reliability
When we take on a client, we see it through. We don't disappear after the initial engagement or leave clients to figure out the hard parts on their own.
State-Specific Expertise
We don't offer one-size-fits-all solutions. Every state has different requirements, and every client gets guidance that reflects their specific state, agency type, and business situation.
Practical Results
Our measure of success is simple: did our client get licensed, and are they operating? Everything we do is oriented toward that outcome.
