[What Is Group Home Consulting]

We help you open a licensed, Medicaid-funded group home — without the guesswork.

Starting a group home is one of the most meaningful and profitable ways to serve your community — but the path is buried in state licensing rules, HCBS Medicaid waivers, zoning, policies, and staffing requirements that change in every state. Most first-time operators stall before they ever open their doors.

That's where we come in. Group Home Consulting guides entrepreneurs, nurses, and care professionals through every step — from business formation and licensing applications to becoming an approved Medicaid provider and hiring a compliant team. We've helped 1,500+ agencies across all 50 states get licensed and compliant — with a 100% licensure-approval track record — and we'll build a clear roadmap tailored to your state, population, and budget.

Business plans & financials
Policies, procedures & staffing

Most group homes never open. Here's why.

✕ Problem 01

The rules are different in every state.

Licensing requirements, Medicaid waiver programs, staffing ratios — they vary dramatically by state and population. Most consultants only know one or two states. We know all 50.

✕ Problem 02

Nobody explains the funding.

Group homes are funded primarily through Medicaid waivers — but becoming an approved provider is its own complex process. Without it, your home can open and never get paid. We handle all of it.

✕ Problem 03

The paperwork kills good intentions.

Policies, procedures, inspection checklists, staff training certifications — one missed document delays your entire timeline. We've mapped every requirement so nothing slips through.

We solve all three. → Start with a Free Call

[FAQ]

Common questions.

Everything you're wondering before the first call.

Most clients open between 8 and 14 months after their first call with us. The timeline depends on your state, population type, and how quickly you can complete application requirements. Some states are significantly faster. We give you a realistic timeline on your first call.
No. Many of our most successful clients are entrepreneurs with no healthcare background. What matters is your commitment, capital, and the right team. We provide everything else — licensing guidance, business planning, policies, and the training your staff needs.
Most group homes are funded through Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) Medicaid waivers. You apply to become a licensed provider, and the state pays you per resident per day. The rates, waiver programs, and enrollment process are different in every state — which is why expert guidance matters.
Our complete Provider Licensing Package is a flat $2,990 (regularly $3,500) — covering your consultation, regulation analysis, full document package, application filing guidance, and ongoing compliance support. You can pay in full or in flexible monthly installments. State government filing fees are separate and billed directly by the state. The initial strategy call is always free.
Yes. We work with operators at every stage — from pre-launch planning to Medicaid enrollment for homes that are already open. If you're licensed but not yet billing Medicaid, that's one of the most impactful engagements we do.
Yes — all 50 states. We've helped clients open group homes from Hawaii to Maine, and we maintain current knowledge of requirements in every state. Use the state map above to see what's specific to yours, or just book a call and we'll walk you through it.
