In my experience, it's just a longer loan period and usually a few notes on the patron record about reading preferences and a list of people who are allowed to check books out on the homebound patron's behalf. Something that checked to see if the person had ever read a title before would be great.

Accessible Statewide Services (GLASS) uses here.
