Editorial Mission
Impartial. Educational. Practical.
For 45 years, HomeCare has been the leading resource for HME and home health professionals. Our content is written by industry experts, association leaders and veteran journalists — shaped by our editorial team.
Editorial decisions are made independently of advertising. Articles must be impartial, unbiased and noncommercial. Sponsors do not influence story selection or receive favorable coverage in return for media spend.
MEET THE EDITORS
The team behind every issue.
Our editorial staff works directly with HME providers, home health agencies and industry associations to shape every issue. Reach out with story ideas, company news or expert source recommendations.
EDITORIAL GUIDELINES
Submitting an article? Start here.
Thank you for considering a contribution to HomeCare. Please read our full author guidelines and note our limits on the use and disclosure of artificial intelligence in the writing process.
Please also explore our editorial calendar. Note that we are not limited to these topics alone, but we may prioritize them.
Here are some of the basics:
Content & Format
Acceptable topics
Articles can describe technology and topic basics, review options for meeting a typical application or service need, examine the pros and cons of approaches to a process, or explain common operating or troubleshooting methods.
No product promotion
It is not acceptable to promote specific products or services. Articles will be edited for grammar and style.
Length
Our suggested length is 700–1,200 words, but word count may vary depending on topic, scope and placement. Articles may be cut at the editor’s discretion.
Byline & bio
Include a 50-word bio with the author’s name, title, company and company website.
Artwork
Image specs
Submit images and tables as separate files from the word doc. Submit at least 3–4 high-resolution images (1200 × 1600 pixels or 300 dpi) in JPG, TIF or EPS format. PNG, GIF and BMP files are not accepted.
Don’t embed visuals
Do not insert artwork, tables, graphs or sidebars into your Word document. Send each as a separate, clearly labeled file.
Indicate placement & include captions
If the image or sidebar placement matters, note it in your article (e.g., “Insert Image 1” or “Insert Sidebar 1”). Please also include the image caption and credit.
No stock art
Do not submit stock art as we may not have the same licensing requirements; we will select our own stock art if necessary.
