Medicaid Certified Nurse Registry, 14-Year Florida In-Home Care Referral Business

Full Editorial Writeup

This is a Florida-based nurse registry that has been referring in-home caregivers to the permanently disabled and geriatric population since 2012. Its niche focus is meaningful: it serves the quadriplegic community and patients recovering from catastrophic head trauma or spinal cord injuries, pairing experienced RNs, LPNs, CNAs and HHAs with clients in their homes as well as in hospitals, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities. The business operates in AHCA licensed Region 3 (16 counties including the high-growth Villages community) plus newly added Pasco and Pinellas Counties in Region 5.

The model is attractive because it is a referral registry, not a direct-employment home health agency, which generally means lower payroll liability and a lighter balance sheet than a traditional staffing operation. The company runs on 75 to 100 healthcare professionals and generates roughly $3.57M in revenue against $892K in reported cash flow, a strong 25 percent owner-earnings margin for a services business. Its payor mix spans Medicaid managed care (United Healthcare and Florida Community Care being the deepest relationships), long-term care insurance, Bankers Life, and private pay, giving the operator discretion to steer toward the best-paying contracts.

What makes this notable is the combination of a defensible regulatory license, a durable demographic tailwind in one of the fastest-aging regions in the country, and recurring, needs-based demand. Permanently disabled patients require continuous care that does not pause in a downturn, and the Villages and surrounding counties represent a steadily expanding senior base. The listing frames it as ready for new leadership to continue growing geographically, which signals an owner stepping back rather than a business in decline.
