Feedback:
A proprietary agency is a private agency that plans to and wants to make a profit. It can be part of a local, national, or international chain of home healthcare agencies directed toward any group of clients with particular healthcare problems or challenges. A voluntary agency is generally established as a not-for-profit entity, although it operates with the same fiscal objectives as "for-profit agencies." A hospital-based agency is a home health agency that is not freestanding in the community but is one of many specialty services offered at a hospital setting. Official agencies are supported by public monies that often come from taxes. The public monies can come from local, state, or federal governments.
