Research has demonstrated that home-based approaches to care delivery produce better outcomes for certain populations. Population-focused home care is directed toward:
1. The needs of specific groups of people with high-risk health needs
2. Acutely ill adults in the home
3. Clients who are on home ventilators
4. People in rural areas with no access to care

Populations include at-risk groups such as those with mental health issues, cardiovascular disease or diabetes, and families with young children and older adults.
