What's the biggest barrier to growing your home care business in 2014? 

All the signs are clear.  The single biggest barrier to growing your business in 2015 will be recruiting caregivers.

The first sign came early in the year with the release of the 2014 Private Duty Benchmarking Study from Home Care Pulse.  The number one concern of company owners for the coming year was recruiting caregivers.

Then as we moved through the summer of 2014, we heard participants at our Private Duty Field Trips and Private Duty Marketing Master Class talking about the trouble they are having finding caregivers.

And the third sign - remember me talking about the Rule of Threes? The third sign is the conversation in the breakout sessions and the hallways at the HCAOA annual Leadership Conference in Kansas City this week.

What are the behavioral styles and problem solving strengths of top performing owners of private duty home care companies?

At Leading Home Care and Caregiver Quality Assurance, we are very excited to be working with PeopleClues on an important project to help answer this question.  We are working together with PeopleClues to help them create a success benchmark for home care owners which will help to ensure individuals closely match the culture and specific talents necessary to be successful in this role. In this study, we want to look at the behavioral styles and cognitive abilities of home care company owners. Then we want to analyze the data to look at the styles and abilities of the highest performing owners.
