Program Description for California Home Care Agency License

Write a description of your agency's program — services, clients served, geographic area, and operations.

The program description should cover:

- Services offered (personal care, meal prep, medication reminders, etc.)

- Target population (elderly, disabled adults, etc.)

- Geographic service area (pre-filled from HCS 200)

- Hours of operation

- Client intake procedures

- How you match clients with caregivers

- Supervision and quality assurance methods

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • 1Being too vague — be specific about what services you will provide
  • 2Not aligning service area with what you listed on HCS 200

Tips

  • 2–4 pages is typical for a program description
  • Use your service area from HCS 200 — it must be consistent
