Notes

Home Care Agency license covers both skilled and personal care/homemaker providers. 'Class A/Class B' terminology seen in secondary sources was not confirmed on an official page (cdphe.colorado.gov returns 403 from our network).

Terminology varies by state. HomeCareIntent uses each state's own term on its pages and maps it to a common category. Glossary

What the Index will publish for Colorado

Fixed definitions, applied the same way in every state once it is Live.

Methodology

Agencies tracked: Home care organizations holding at least one active license of a type the state's own rules define as relevant. Hospice-only organizations are excluded.
New agencies (30 and 90 days): Organizations first licensed, or first detected, inside the trailing window. Shown only after HomeCareIntent has observed the whole window.
Licensing events (30 days): New licenses and locations, closures, status, administrator, licensee and address changes. Dated by the source where it publishes a date.
New agencies per month: A 12-month series. Months before HomeCareIntent's history for a state begins are marked “Not tracked,” never drawn as zero.
Top markets: Cities ranked by tracked organizations. Cities with fewer than three are not ranked.
