Among older adults discharged from a post-acute SNF stay, those who received CHHA services had better discharge outcomes. They were less likely to experience admissions to institutional care settings and had a lower mortality risk. Future efforts that examine how the type and intensity of CHHA services affect outcomes would build on this work. J Am Geriatr Soc 68:1573-1578, 2020.
