North Carolina Home Care, Home Health and Hospice Policy Manuals
North Carolina's Division of Health Service Regulation (DHSR) licenses all three. Home care agencies hold a home care license under 10A NCAC 13J, and a Medicare-certified home health agency is a home care agency that also holds a certificate of need. Hospices are licensed under the Hospice Licensure Act and 10A NCAC 13K. Choose the manual for your agency. Each is written to the North Carolina rules, the home health and hospice manuals also to the federal Conditions of Participation, and every policy names the rule it follows.

Questions about North Carolina manuals
Our home care license covers more than one kind of service. Which manual do we need?
Each manual is written for one kind of agency. If your license covers both in-home aide and nursing services, or you also run a hospice, talk to us before you buy.
Does a home health agency need a certificate of need?
Yes. DHSR states that each site providing home health services must have a separate certificate of need and a separate license (G.S. 131E-176(16)).
Can you help with the North Carolina license itself?
Yes, through Cura Compliance Consulting, which helps North Carolina agencies apply for their license.
