- The National Institute on Aging awarded the University of Pennsylvania $825,128 on September 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to identify drivers of variation in home health outcomes and clarify how differences in care processes contribute to disparities in patient outcomes across demographic groups. The project will develop group-specific process and outcome measures to assess variations in care by patient grouping, addressing gaps in current Medicare quality metrics that...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded The University of Chicago $597,239 on September 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to support investigation of inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) utilization and outcomes for older adult patients with and without Alzheimer's disease or other dementias (ADRD). The research examines comparative value and appropriateness of care delivery across post-acute care settings, specifically comparing higher-cost IRF care—which provides acute...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded Homecare Hub US Inc. $2,259,176 on September 16, 2025, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to scale a network of small community-based residential care homes as a decentralized alternative to institutional long-term services and supports. Homecare Hub operates a technology and services platform that enables nurses and caregivers to establish and operate 2- to 12-person residential care homes while connecting seniors to vetted facilities that...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded Emory University $535,656 for a project grant on September 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866). The project, titled "Understand the Determinants and Quality Implications of Agency Staff Use in Nursing Homes: A Mixed Methods Study," examines how temporary staffing agencies impact resident outcomes and continuity of care across nursing homes. The study links payroll-based journal staffing data with national Medicare and resident...
- This $2,497,615 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute on Aging under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), aims to evaluate the impact of new Medicare home health agency (HHA) payment policies on healthcare utilization and outcomes for Medicare beneficiaries with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The project has three key objectives: 1) characterizing changes in the ADRD beneficiary population eligible for HHA services, 2) evaluating the effect of...
The National Institute on Aging awarded The Johns Hopkins University $769,960 under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) on September 1, 2026, for research examining how changes in home health care agency ownership and private capital investment affect access to care, quality of care, and patient outcomes for people living with dementia. The project, which runs through May 31, 2031, investigates the impact of multi-state chain acquisitions and private capital investments on home health agencies serving people with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. Approximately 80 percent of people living with dementia reside at home rather than in residential care settings, making home health care a critical component of community-based care; however, the home health care industry is experiencing consolidation and financialization. The research aims to generate evidence to inform care delivery and discharge planning decisions by patients, clinicians, and health care organizations as this market structure evolves. Work is performed in Baltimore, Maryland.
