# Owner screening

A term used when buying home care agency.

The background check that reaches the people who own the agency, not only the aides.

California conditions the license on it. To obtain a home care organization license the owner consents to a fingerprint examination, and where the owner is a company the same applies to anyone holding ten percent or more and to the chief executive. The department may not issue even a PROVISIONAL license to an applicant with an ineligible director or officer. Aides clear their own check before any contact with a client. What the statute never says is what a transfer does, so a buyer negotiating a closing date is negotiating around a silence, and the department is the only place that can settle whether the license moves.
