Nothing material is outside the license: OSDH describes the home care agency as providing 'skilled care and personal care services.' Companion/sitter-only businesses are also pulled in — 63 O.S. §1-1960/§1-1972: any agency that provides, offers or advertises companion or sitter services shall become licensed under the Home Care Act, and licensed facilities may refer clients for personal care or companion/sitter services only to a licensed agency (§1-1962B). Home health aides must be certified and on the OSDH registry within 4 months of employment.
One Home Care Act license (63 O.S. §§1-1960 et seq.; OAC 310:662) covers skilled care (RN/LPN, PT, OT, speech, social work, respiratory) and personal care; Medicare certification is optional and separate.

The free checkers give you the verdict and the number. The Kit gives you the working papers: your state's application packet walked through in filing order, the policies-and-procedures binder spec (what your binder must contain — never a boilerplate binder), the administrator self-audit, the insurance & bond spec sheet, the Medicaid gate map, the franchise-vs-independent 10-year worksheets, and the payroll-runway planner.
