Become a Licensed Home Care Organization (HCO) with GPiStrategies.
We assist both non-medical and skilled service agencies in meeting all state requirements.
The Virginia Department of Health (VDH) has strengthened its regulations, making the licensing process more detailed and challenging. We make it easier by guiding you step-by-step through every stage of licensing and agency setup.

- Insurance & Bonding: Helping you obtain professional and general liability insurance, as well as a business surety bond—often at discounted rates.
- Policies & Procedures: Developing customized, state-compliant Policies, Procedures, and Operating Forms tailored to your agency.
