The Home Care Council of PA, LLC is an independent professional membership company created to connect, educate, and strengthen Pennsylvania home care agencies.
The Council provides agency owners and leaders with a professional community focused on education, industry awareness, collaboration, networking, and practical discussions about issues affecting home care operations throughout Pennsylvania.
The Council helps members stay informed, better understand how industry and regulatory developments may affect their operations, and connect with other professionals who understand the realities of operating a home care agency in Pennsylvania.
Membership is designed for Pennsylvania non-skilled home care agencies and agency leaders who want to stay informed, strengthen their operations, and connect with other professionals in the home care industry.
Members may include agency owners, administrators, executives, and other individuals in leadership roles within Pennsylvania home care agencies.
The Council is focused on building a professional community where agency leaders can learn, collaborate, exchange perspectives, and stay connected to issues affecting Pennsylvania home care.
Membership provides access to the Council’s core programs and resources designed specifically for Pennsylvania home care agency leaders, including:
PA Home Care Intelligence — timely information and updates affecting Pennsylvania home care agencies.
Agency Leader Roundtables — practical discussions with other agency owners and leaders about issues affecting day-to-day operations.

Agencies that join during the founding period, which runs through December 31, 2027, receive permanent Founding Member recognition and retain the $89 monthly membership rate for as long as their membership remains continuously active.
Beginning January 1, 2028, new members will join as Agency Members at $99 per month.
Council discussions focus on real-world issues that Pennsylvania home care agency owners and leaders encounter in their day-to-day operations.
Topics may include CHC and Medicaid changes, EVV and HHAeXchange updates, PA Department of Health survey readiness, regulatory and compliance developments, MCO processes and requirements, documentation practices, workforce challenges, reimbursement issues, and other operational concerns affecting home care agencies.
The goal is to go beyond simply sharing updates by helping agency leaders understand what changes may mean for their operations, what they should be paying attention to, and how they can better prepare their agencies.
MCO Lunch & Learns and provider meetings are valuable resources for information related to an individual health plan, including its policies, procedures, programs, processes, and provider requirements.
The Home Care Council of PA, LLC serves a different purpose. The Council brings Pennsylvania home care agency leaders together across plans and programs to discuss broader industry developments, regulatory and compliance topics, operational challenges, and how changes may affect the day-to-day operation of an agency.
The Council is designed to complement—not replace—MCO education and information from official sources, while also providing agency leaders with opportunities for ongoing education, collaboration, networking, and practical discussion with other home care professionals.
The Home Care Council of PA, LLC provides educational information, compliance awareness, industry updates, and practical discussions to help members better understand requirements and developments affecting Pennsylvania home care agencies.
The Council may discuss topics such as PA Department of Health requirements, DHS/OLTL updates, CHC requirements, EVV, HHAeXchange, documentation, survey readiness, and other compliance-related matters.
The Council does not provide legal advice or act as a regulatory authority. Members should continue to rely on applicable government agencies, MCOs, legal counsel, and other qualified professionals for official or agency-specific guidance.

Founding Agency Members are agencies that join the Home Care Council of PA, LLC during its founding period through December 31, 2027.
Founding Members receive permanent Founding Member recognition and retain the $89 monthly membership rate for as long as their membership remains continuously active.
But Founding Membership is about more than a special rate. Founding Members are joining at the beginning and becoming part of a professional community built around a shared purpose: connecting Pennsylvania home care agency leaders, strengthening communication, sharing knowledge, and helping agencies navigate an evolving industry together.
Every agency remains independent, but through the Council, members have a place to learn from one another, exchange perspectives, build professional relationships, and strengthen the Pennsylvania home care community together.
Many Agencies. One Community. A Stronger Pennsylvania Home Care Industry.
Beginning January 1, 2028, new members will join as Agency Members at $99 per month and will not receive Founding Member designation.

The Council’s inaugural virtual meeting will be held Friday, January 15, 2027, from 11:00 AM–12:00 PM ET.
The Council does not stop when the monthly meeting ends. Members will also have access to Council updates, educational information, member resources and templates, and other information shared between meetings to help them stay connected and informed throughout the month.
The goal is an ongoing professional community—not simply a once-a-month meeting.
