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.
