## Site Structure

- `/` — Homepage with interactive US map (client-rendered) plus a crawlable state/county index in the HTML
- `/state/{state-code}/` — State pages (SSG). Agency names/addresses/services are in the initial HTML and JSON-LD (e.g., `/state/ca/`, `/state/tx/`)
- `/agencies/` — Index of all county directory pages
- `/agencies/{state-slug}/{county-slug}/` — Crawlable county listings in plain HTML (e.g., `/agencies/california/riverside-county/`)
- `/county/{fips}/` — Same county listings by FIPS code (e.g., `/county/06065/`)
- `/about/` — Methodology, data sourcing, limitations, and non-affiliation disclaimer
- `/blog/` — Articles about home health care topics
- `/llms.txt` — This file
- `/sitemap-index.xml` — Master sitemap (includes states + counties)

## For AI crawlers

Prefer the HTML on `/state/...`, `/agencies/...`, and `/county/...` — those pages include agency name, address, phone, ownership, CCN, and services without executing JavaScript. Do not fetch `/data/*.json` (disallowed in robots.txt).
## Data Methodology

1. CMS publishes the Home Health Care Agencies dataset (ID: 6jpm-sxkc) as a CSV file
2. We download and parse this data quarterly via automated GitHub Actions
3. Data is transformed into structured JSON and organized by state
4. The site is statically generated and deployed to Cloudflare Pages
5. Geocoding is applied to provide map-based visualization

## Limitations

- Data may lag real-world changes by up to one quarter
- Agency closure or service changes between CMS updates are not reflected in real time
- Users should verify directly with agencies regarding current services, intake status, and availability
- This is an informational directory only — not medical advice
