Senior care is a $400 billion US industry experiencing structural demand growth as the 73 million baby boomers age into care needs. L-1 holders in this sector typically come from hospital administration, nursing management, or social work backgrounds. An L-1A executive at an international healthcare company who establishes a home care agency in the US creates a business addressing genuine community need in a market with insufficient supply of quality providers.
Senior home care revenue is diverse: private pay clients paying $25-$35/hour, Medicaid waiver clients generating state reimbursement, veterans' home care programs (VA Aid and Attendance), and long-term care insurance billing. These revenue streams together create a stable and growing monthly revenue base that Bankable can underwrite effectively.
Senior Care Capital for L-1 Holders
- Caregiver recruitment and training: Background checks, CPR/First Aid, state-required home care training — $200-$800 per caregiver upfront
- Scheduling and HR software: Alaya Care, ClearCare, or WellSky for caregiver scheduling and billing
- Vehicle fleet: Agency vehicles for non-medical transportation services — a growing revenue stream
- Payroll bridge: Caregivers paid weekly; Medicaid reimbursements arrive in 30-45 days — working capital bridges this gap
- Marketing and client acquisition: Hospital discharge referral networks, senior living community partnerships, and Google Ads for private pay families
