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.
