A License, A Dream, and a New Beginning in Virginia

Farjana Sheikh's Success Story

A Quiet Dream in Virginia

My name is Farjana Sheikh, and I live in Virginia. For many years, I carried the quiet dream of building something that could truly help people—something beyond a paycheck or a title. I didn’t grow up around business owners, and I never imagined I’d be one. But what I’ve always had is heart, and a deep belief in caring for people with dignity.

I used to work hard hours, often late into the night, supporting my family and trying to build a better life. But in those hours, the idea of starting my own home care agency began to grow. I didn’t want to just work in healthcare—I wanted to create a place where compassion came first. A place where families didn’t have to worry if their loved ones were truly being cared for.

Searching for the Right Guidance

The dream was strong. But the path? That felt impossible. I had no idea where to begin with licensing, state regulations, or Medicaid paperwork. Every form felt like it was written in another language. I kept searching online, night after night, until one day, I found Consult Atlas Foundation. Something about the name made me pause—it didn’t sound like a typical company. It felt like help.

Meeting My Guide: The AGC Consultant

I filled out the form and waited. Not long after, I got a call from one of their home care consultants—an AGC Consultant. He didn’t rush me. He didn’t throw sales talk at me. He simply asked what I was trying to do—and then he listened. I remember thinking: finally, someone who gets it.

The AGC Consultant explained everything. He broke down the licensing process for Virginia. He helped me understand the inspections, the policy manuals, the documents I’d need from the police department. He didn’t just say, “Fill this out.” He said, “Let me walk you through it.”

Support That Actually Cares

At that point, I still wasn’t sure I could afford it. I told him my budget was tight. I was ready to do the work—but I needed support. That’s when I learned something that truly made Consult Atlas different: they were a nonprofit. They weren’t just doing business—they were on a mission. Through their Micro Installment Program, they offered me a payment plan I could actually manage—low monthly payments, no interest, and no pressure. It felt like someone finally understood what starting from scratch really looked like.

And it didn’t stop there. I was introduced to something called an AGC—Artificially Generated Consciousness. It sounded futuristic, but it turned out to be one of the most helpful tools I’ve ever used. It was like having a smart assistant who knew everything about the licensing process, available any time I got stuck or had a late-night question.

Step by Step, Form by Form

Over the next few months, the AGC Consultant and the team worked with me step by step. I had calls with their licensing manager. I submitted forms. I sent in police documents. Sometimes I felt overwhelmed, but every time I did, the consultant reminded me how far I’d come. I wasn’t doing this alone.

The Day Everything Became Real

And then, on July 8, 2025, it happened. I opened the official letter from the Virginia Department of Health. SWEET FAMILY HOME HEALTH CARE LLC was now a licensed Home Care Organization. My agency. My name. My dream. I held the certificate in my hands, and I cried.

This wasn’t just a business win. It was a life win.

Why I Recommend Consult Atlas

Today, my agency stands as a place where kindness leads and quality care follows. And I know it wouldn’t have happened without the help of Consult Atlas Foundation. They weren’t just a service provider—they were my team, my encouragers, and my guide when the path was confusing.

If you’re out there with a dream like mine, don’t let fear stop you. Talk to Consult Atlas. Let them walk beside you. Whether it’s the hands-on guidance from an AGC Consultant or the support of their smart AGC tools, they have what it takes to help you build something real.

And now, I get to say it: I did it.

And you can too.
