Non-medical home care challenges: payroll, recruiting and billing lag
Running a non-medical home care agency means paying caregivers for every shift they work, recruiting and training new hires to keep up with client demand, and covering mileage and scheduling costs — all while private-pay invoices and long-term care insurance claims can take weeks to be paid. Caregiver payroll doesn't pause just because a client's payment is running behind; the gap between a shift worked and an invoice paid can put real pressure on an agency's cash flow.

Where a non-medical home care line of credit does the heavy lifting
Six moments when non-medical home care cash flow needs backup — and how a Loot line of credit can help.
Cover caregiver payroll while client billing is delayed
Caregivers still need to be paid for every shift they work, even when a private-pay invoice or long-term care insurance claim is still processing. A line of credit can help cover payroll without pulling cash away from recruiting or scheduling.
Fund recruiting, background checks and training
Bringing on new caregivers means covering the cost of recruiting, background checks and onboarding training before they're generating billable hours. A line of credit can help an agency staff up ahead of demand without waiting on cash to catch up.
Cover mileage, scheduling software and overhead costs
Mileage reimbursement, scheduling software and coordinator payroll are ongoing costs that don't pause when client payments run behind. A line of credit can help keep operations running smoothly between billing cycles.
Expand into a new service area
Growing into a new territory can mean hiring caregivers and covering overhead before the client base in that area is fully built out. A line of credit can help an agency expand without draining the cash needed to run its existing routes.
Bridge long-term care insurance and private-pay billing gaps
Long-term care insurance claims and private-pay invoices don't always clear on the same schedule caregivers expect to be paid. A line of credit can help bridge that gap so payroll stays on time regardless of when a client's payment lands.
Handle seasonal demand swings and last-minute shift coverage
Client needs can spike around holidays, hospital discharges or family travel, requiring fast caregiver coverage. A line of credit can help an agency staff up for a surge in demand without waiting on cash reserves to catch up.

How a Loot line of credit works for a non-medical home care agency
Say your agency needs $18,000 to cover caregiver payroll, recruiting costs for three new hires, and mileage reimbursements while a batch of private-pay invoices is still outstanding. With Loot, you can draw $18,000 from your approved line.
Before you confirm, you choose a fixed weekly repayment plan upfront, such as 16, 20, or 24 weeks. You see the total cost before you move forward.
If client payments land sooner than expected and you pay the draw off early, there is no prepayment penalty. Paying off early can save up to 50% of remaining fees.
As you repay, your line revolves — the funds become available again as you pay down the draw. Same-day approval is standard, decisions happen in minutes, and once approved, same-day funding is available for a $49 transfer fee.
