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 four main areas:

	Improving the quality, cost-effectiveness, and outcomes of home care services
	Helping people better manage their chronic conditions
	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 is part of the Visiting Nurse Service of New York, the largest nonprofit home care agency in the United States, and conducts research that is broadly applicable to real-world home care settings.
