Hello all:
I am a relatively new-grad DPT (December '05). However, I am a little older than most in my position as I have worked in various jobs/careers. I am of the mind-set that I do not want to work for a company (and make money for others) for the rest of my life. I want to eventually become independent. I have been doing research on strategic opportunities that may eventually allow me to live my dream. I feel that a home health-type business could flourish, especially w/ low overhead and start-up costs. In addition, it may allow one to start the business as part-time and be able to grow it once the pieces are in place. One such company that has been brought to my attention is In Home Rehab. I have checked out the website and emailed them, but I wanted to hear if anyone has had any first-hand knowledge with the operation and what the pro's vs. con's are with the business in general. I am also wondering if I would be better off going in alone.

This would be a good business if you have enough business experience.

As a PT with almost 10 years experience and having done some home health both with a company and by myself for the last 4-5, I'd say WAIT!!!!!
Regardless of the owning a company aspect, you NEED more experience (PT and business) before going straight to in-home. You need mentors, you need to see a wide variety of things, you need co-workers to bounce things off of, you need to learn how other systems/billing work before you can create one of your own by learning off other's success and failures. Even a company that will "train" you for home health will not make up for the basic knowledge you will gain with several solid years in a hospital or out-pt clinic. You then apply that to home-health. There are also lots of other issues that come up with home health that helps to have more time and experience under your belt in terms of professionalism, ethics, etc.
If all you care about is raking in cash ASAP and not caring so much for treatment outcomes and learning any more on the job, sure go for it now. If you want to work towards eventually having a solid, good home-health business that is also profitable, wait a bit, get more experience, then go for it.
