Home Health Agency's & Misc:

I am starting a home based business, which will provide the elderly care in their homes... the services will include companionship, bathing, light housekeeping, meal preparation, etc... What type of licenses do I need?

I live in an apartment complex that has copious amounts of pigeon droppings located on and in the property. Who would we contact about this problem, if the superintendent will not attempt to correct the problem and the building does not fall under the Department of Healths regulations?

I am looking for a list of licensed home health care providers. Ideally, I would also like to see some descriptive information and information about ratings, inspection reports, etc... Where can I find this information?
