The Center for Home Care Policy and Research conducts scientifically rigorous research to promote the delivery of high quality, cost-effective care in the home and community and support informed decision making by policy makers, payers, managers, practitioners, and consumers of home and community based services.

The Center’s research focuses in three main areas:

	Improving the quality, cost-effectiveness, and outcomes of home care services
	Analyzing and informing public policies that affect home-based care
	Supporting communities that promote successful aging in place

Three Center projects have their own websites:

The Center has a close relationship with its parent agency, the Visiting Nurse Service of New York, the largest nonprofit home care agency in the United States, which enables the Center to conduct research that is broadly applicable to real-world home care settings.
