Supporting Providers of Home Medical Equipment and Services

in the Home with Leadership, Knowledge, and Advocacy

WELCOME TO HOMES

The Home Medical Equipment and Services Association of New England (HOMES) is the regional trade association dedicated to supporting providers of home medical equipment including home oxygen and infusion therapy, complex rehabilitation technology (CRT), and supplies. Since 1988, our members have worked together to strengthen the HME industry, advocate for common interests, and ensure patients throughout New England receive the care they need.

Why Join HOMES

Navigating this challenging industry can be tough, but you don't have to do it alone!

For decades, the Home Medical Equipment and Services Association of New England (HOMES) has been a leading advocate for patients and providers across Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. Our mission is simple: to ensure that individuals have access to the medical equipment they need to live safely and independently at home.

In New England, where an aging population and complex healthcare regulations create unique challenges, HME providers play a large role in reducing hospital readmissions, improving patient outcomes, and supporting families and caregivers. However, ongoing threats such as reimbursement cuts, increasing administrative burdens, and supply chain disruptions, jeopardize access to this care.

HOMES works at the state and federal levels, with the support of national homecare associations, to protect fair reimbursement, streamline regulations, and advocate for policies that put patients first. By bringing together HME providers and manufacturers, healthcare professionals, and policymakers, we ensure that home-based care remains a viable and effective option for New Englanders who need it most.
