Although his family warmly welcomes him, his existence seems to pressure the family, as they used to live with the benefits of his status as a “Martyr”. Agron, the main character, is played by the well-known Kosovar TV and theatre actor Donat Qosja. His family is played by Arta Muçaj, Monna Mustafa, Albin Bajraktari and Lea Qosja, and the cast list also features remarkable local actors such as Shkumbin Istrefi.
Bajraktari was also appointed director of the Privision children’s choir festival in 2012. This provocative concept, which practically cries out for satire or black comedy, is ill served by debuting feature helmer Faton Bajraktari’s overly earnest take on a screenplay by playwright and dramaturge Zymber Kelmendi (“Three Windows and a Hanging”), and ultimately comes off as didactic and unconvincing. Nevertheless, given the scarcity of features from the region, further festival play is likely. Hana now has a well-paid job as the chairwoman of an organization that advocates for the rights of war widows. Not only is she able to support her family financially, she also has become a well-respected member of the community.

But when he returns home alive, joy at his survival soon turns to consternation, as he is forced by circumstances to remain dead - at least for official purposes. His army buddies saw him die during the Kosovo conflict, and thus his return home is beyond surprising. Joy, however, soon shifts to a consideration of practical problems, and the man is forced by a variety of circumstances to remain dead – at least officially. His home thus becomes the backdrop for a portrayal of the myriad problems facing postwar society.

Interview: Faton Bajraktari • Director
A provocative concept, which practically cries out for satire or black comedy, is ill served by debuting feature helmer Faton Bajraktari’s overly earnest approach. Official submission of Kosovo for the 'Best Foreign Language Film' category of the 89th Academy Awards in 2017.
Although it has failed to make the final five foreign-language film nominees in past years, last year's Kosovan short Shok did make it as far as nabbing an official nomination for best live-action short film. Faton Bajraktari (b. 1974, Kišna Reka, Kosovo) took a bachelor’s degree in film and television direction at the Faculty of Dramatic Arts, University of Tetovo (2007–2011). He shot his first short film Përpjekja in 2007; other short films followed, of which his Tri dritare won awards at numerous festivals, including Best Film at the Kosovo fest and the International Film Festival in Tirana. He captured the history of Kosovo in the documentaries Gryka e Llapushnikut and Udhëtimi në thellësinë e Tokës . In 2012 he made his award-winning short film Lufta, which he followed up with the medium-length Morea .

Starring Donat Qosja, Arta Muçaj and Shkumbin Istrefi, Home Sweet Home tells the story of Agron, who was long considered dead after his army friends witnessed his death in the Kosovo conflict. But when he returns home alive, joy at his survival soon turns to consternation, as he is forced by circumstances to remain dead — at least for official purposes. It is through this darkly, humorous lens that the challenges facing a post-war society are told.
Older daughter Ditra is accepted into medical school, but only because she is the child of a martyr. Even son Luan will lose his right to go on a field trip reserved for the children of martyrs.

At the end, Argon decides to go out and show up, a decision which was not welcomed by his family, except by his youngest daughter, with whom he maintained a very friendly relation. These benefits included a financial allowance to the family, his daughter studding medicine, and his son going to an excursion to Vlora .

Set a reminder on your calendar to check updates quarterly. According to Medicare.gov, CMS selected these measures for a general overview of HHA performance on indicators that apply to most patients. HHS is committed to making its websites and documents accessible to the widest possible audience, including individuals with disabilities.
CMS recently announced an iQIES system nuance that could affect HHA provider details on the April 2022 refresh. It asked agencies to carefully review the Services Provided values in their reports and notify the State Automation or State OASIS Education Coordinator of any inaccuracies or to request an update in iQIES. Ideally, care quality and patient satisfaction results are related, and star ratings will be similar. For many HHAs, Quality Assurance practices evolved around this time. Thus, some providers will see changes in performance on OASIS measures on the next refresh. The push to get OASIS data submissions in on time could mean that agencies were not as careful about checking the performance measures.

CMS expect the star ratings will evolve and be refined over time. CMS hope that you'll review the new information and will give us input. HHAs need systems with robust data and analytics tools to monitor their performance and improvement in real-time rather than waiting for a quarterly update. The right technology solution also improves care outcomes and increases efficiency. If you think you have the right software but still aren’t seeing the ideal performance, think about how the staff uses their tools. In addition to watching the performance on the new measures, HHAs should be alert to any changes to their “services provided” information.
Public reporting of home health data has resumed. Each HHA gets provider preview reports showing the Quality of Patient Care Star Ratings and rating calculations about 3.5 months before the ratings are posted on Care Compare. On March 26, 2015, CMS sponsored awebinar to review the format of the report and the process for requesting a review of the Quality of Patient Care Star Rating.

The current methodology for calculating the Quality of Patient Care Star Rating can be accessed via the Downloadssection below. This methodology will be updated periodically as additional refinements are made.

All Medicare-certified HHAs may potentially receive a Quality of Patient Care Star Rating. HHAs must have data for at least 20 complete quality episodes for each measure to be reported on Care Compare. Completed episodes are paired with start or resumption of care and end of care OASIS assessments. Episodes must have an end-of-care date within the 12-month reporting period regardless of the start date. To have a Quality of Patient Care Star Rating computed, HHAs must have reported data for 5 of the 7 measures used in the Quality of Patient Care Star Ratings calculation.

Reporting was put on hold in 2020 because of the pandemic. Now that CMS has refreshed the quality measures, find out what the ratings say about your agency. Have the chance to learn about how the star ratings were developed. For rapid improvement, focus on one measure at a time. Do not try to address every weakness simultaneously. Instead, get laser-focused on a single area where you can see change quickly and work on that.
All Medicare-certified HHAs have the potential to receive a Patient Survey star rating. However, HHAs must have 40 or more completed surveys over the four-quarter reporting period to receive Star Ratings for that reporting period. Develop a written process for improving your ratings in the HHQRP. Forward-thinking agencies know that high star ratings give them an edge over the competition. Referral sources are motivated to choose post-acute providers that prevent readmissions while keeping costs down. HHAs with poor performance will be left behind.

It’s time to act with a structured performance improvement plan. HHCAHPS scores based on fewer than 40 completed surveys do not have sufficient statistical reliability to ensure that those scores measure true performance and not noise in the data for reporting star ratings. More details about the methods for calculating Patient Survey star ratings can be found on theHHCAHPS surveywebsite.

But after about the 3rd one, I really got the hang of the method and how to do it without checking the instruction manual every step of the way. By the time I had completed the 13th piece, I had put in a total 8.5 hours of work . It goes against our guidelines to offer incentives for reviews.

Disclaimer- This post is 100% my own honest thoughts on the products produced by Home Reserve. Home Reserve did gift us our couch but this post is in no way sponsored by them. To start off I am going to answer some of the most asked questions I’ve received on Facebook & Instagram. Then I’ll share all the awesome features that made us fall in love with our sectional. I first came across Home Reserve on Youtube and instantly fell in love. At the time we didn’t need a new couch but knew in a year or so we would be moving and kept a mental note of the sectional.
So, that’s all the good stuff, but there’s got to be some downsides, right? Well, I guess that depends on your personality. I am in the weird crowd, in that I actually enjoy assembling flat-pack furniture.
Time Consuming Assembly
Might as well buy a whole new couch for that price & never have to deal with this piece of crap again. The unfinished wood leaves dust & wood chips all over & splinters in the cushions. It’s hell just trying to vacuum the inside of it. Plus it’s not comfortable at all. These couches are for looks only, not for everyday life & they don’t even look that nice.
There are many different types of home reserve furniture, each with its own unique benefits. Some are perfect for small spaces, while others can be more versatile and comfortable. The furniture industry is not unique in its struggle to find a sustainable internet e-commerce model. Even the dominant players in the World Wide Web market space have found profitability difficult.
Home Reserve has been nothing short of…
Perfect for those who like to change up the look and feel of their space. We can also replace any piece at any time for any reason. I’ll admit I was a bit skeptical about the 10-year warranty on the frame when everything was delivered in flat-pack boxes, ready to be assembled. When we looked further into the features, we found that every.
She was so lovely to work with and within 1 day had our replacement pieces needed. And the couch is super comfortable. We'll be looking to get another for our living room soon.
It’s like a giant puzzle and the satisfaction of standing back and looking at my “creation” is all the thanks I need. So if you don’t like to assemble furniture, but this still seems like a great idea to you, find someone willing to do it for you because it’s really worth it in my opinion. Before I get in to the details on just what it takes to get one of these sectionals/sofas, I want to tell you some of the features that got us excited. Also, as a disclaimer, I’m not being compensated for this post, I just really like my new sofa and wanted to share. Compare prices online before making your purchase.
It takes about a hour to assemble each piece, so its a full day of assembly....wasn't mentioned in the marketing. Also the pilot holes in 1/3 of the furniture were not there...and without a jig..its difficult to get lined up. Not a bad product, but I paid a lot for the frustration. Once you order your sectional/couch typically your shipment should arrive in about 15 days. At the time of my order I knew they were a little behind but to be honest they did an amazing job. If you go to their site they have a section you can track your shipment.
Customer relations
All the tools that were needed to assemble the couch came included in the boxes and took about an hour to put together.

That is huge for us because our home has minimal closet and storage space. For us we stuck with our original, but when our order came, one of the pieces got damaged in transit. Customer service was phenomenal- they not only arranged to ship to us, but even held the shipping by a few days so it wouldn't arrive when we were out of town.

Kendra, you are far far more patient than we were. First of all, assembly was a nightmare. Had no idea it would take this much.
As for pet hair the one thing I noticed is the color & material of Maltese Flax shows black dog hair a little more than other colors. It is still very easy to vacuum and wipe off. When I looked up our shipment it stated they were working on our order that week but the next day I got an email stating it was to arrive in 2 days! In the end the couch did happen to arrive within the 15 day time frame.

Had we known, we probably would not have made the purchase even though I love the idea of washable covers. Secondly, it arrived with missing pieces. We were on a tight time crunch because our house is a vacation rental and it all had to be done in a matter of days. Thirdly, I don't think the couch is all that comfortable. I feel like I'm sitting on a couch in a doctor's office. But with all the work we did, there is NO WAY we can return it.
GREAT customer service!
Home Reserve furniture has been the best purchase and our family enjoys it daily. And maybe one day I will want to go back to the curvy look, who knows. If that day comes, I can order new back cushions and a new arm for the end chair in the curvy styles and change the entire look of the sectional. It really is an ingenious way of creating your own custom and unique look for your own life. We decided to go with the Ray style from Home Reserve, which they describe as having a “modern, low-profile nice arm”.
It was easy to take apart and lightweight . I do still like it, and it has been used a ton more now that the kids are home more often . The first piece I assembled was the Left Armchair. It took me an hour, and I assumed it would take an hour per piece.
Home Reserve Furniture Reviews
This oasis should be inviting, comfortable, and functional all in one. When it comes to buying bedroom furniture,... I don't have any current photos that don't show my living room a mess (ha!) but it has held up well, we even moved and rearranged it at our new place.
Perfect for storing extra throw blankets, seasonal throw pillows and more. Home Reserve was recognized by UPS for its efforts in this science in their April 2005 Preferred Report. That was something very important to us when I found out they were USA made. I try my darndest to buy from the small shops or local businesses when see fit. Supporting them is something our family is very passionate about.
Might as well buy a whole new couch for that price & never have to deal with this piece of crap again. The unfinished wood leaves dust & wood chips all over & splinters in the cushions. It’s hell just trying to vacuum the inside of it. Plus it’s not comfortable at all. These couches are for looks only, not for everyday life & they don’t even look that nice.
I did already test the pet care fabric to see if liquids are repelled and they definitely are. The cat also felt the need to double-test the fabric and all was well. I’m thinking I will need to update this post in a year to share how well everything holds up and thoughts on Home Reserve ownership for the long haul.
The storage space inside really helps keep the clutter down and hides our extra blankets and pillows. It’s sturdy and compact sonic fits in our house without taking up a lot of room. Very comfortable and I enjoy sitting on it to relax. So I purchased this couch just because of all the great reviews.
After getting through the first piece, we quickly formed a chain of command and flew through the remaining pieces. We love the color, material, and built in storage. I first became aware of Home Reserve through a friend who had previously ordered from you. I liked how easy it was to get something delivered, choices of styles, and fabric selections. Home Reserve amazed me also on the speed of delivery. The website also was very helpful in tips to complete my build.
