We conducted several analyses to investigate the home health market. We first examined overall trends in the number of HHAs and the number of Medicare enrollees served by HHAs by ownership type and chain status from 2005 to 2018. When provided partial year entries for a given agency‐year, we re‐weighted partial year observations to make annual estimations. We excluded agencies with missing entries. Minowa, Y., & Ohara, K.

Emma Sims-Hilditch is best known for creating relaxed, elegant interiors that are ideal for the values and lifestyles of a new generation. The environments she makes offer an insight into the considered house of the future—simple, beautiful, and practical, advancing a new style of living that is transforming not only the lives of homeowners but also communities. Sims-Hilditch gives advice on the best ways to decorate and organize a home. She embraces traditional materials translated for contemporary living: interior stone walls, comforting color palettes, stylish and sturdy fabrics, and antiques mixed with contemporary designs. Rows of late Victorian homes included a mixture of features, including towers, Gothic-shaped windows, plus terracotta details, patterned roof tiles, and a recessed door with stained glass panels.

Whether the project is an urban town house, a seaside cottage, an ancestral residence, or a lakeside retreat, the approach of Sims Hilditch is always the same—a collaboration with clients to make stylish, comfortable homes that offer the perfect settings for everyday life. The book explores how the firm creates rooms where people live healthy and vibrant lives, aware of the changing seasons and embracing the comforts of a slower lifestyle—resulting in a holistic picture of design in the twenty-first century. About The Author In 1917, the Smith-Hughes Act mandated an emphasis on and provided funding for occupational preparation in home economics classes. Although this act undermined and codified gender roles in the field of home economics, it also established an important link between the federal government and the field of home economics which “sought to elevate and enlarge women’s roles in the home and in society” (Stage 79). The study of h ome economics aimed to “prepare student[s] for effective discharge of duties within the home and give scientific preparation for efficient administration of household affairs” (Calvin 1). Home economics also gained popularity in response to the perceived breakdown in society in the early 1900’s as a result of urbanization, industrialization, and immigration.The primary analyses for this study relied on data from 2005 to 2018 Medicare Cost Reports, a public data source maintained by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). All Medicare‐certified providers, including skilled nursing facilities, hospices, hospitals, and HHAs, are required to submit a cost report annually. Freestanding home health agency information was extracted from Medicare Home Health Agency Cost Reports; information regarding hospital‐based HHAs and skilled nursing facility‐based HHAs was extracted from Medicare hospital and skilled nursing facilities cost reports. Our first book: ‘The Evolution of Home: English Interiors for a New Era’ has been in the making for the last three years. The aim of the book was to recognise that how we live in our homes has moved on over the years. Whereas decades ago homes were often very formal spaces designed to impress, nowadays they tend to be more focused on comfort and practicality – in other words, spaces that people want to live in.
