She had stayed away from home for a week.
She was vacationing and could not be at home for a week.
It was noticed that she wasn't at home for the past week.
Where could she have been? I had been trying to reach her at her home for the past week, and there was no reply.
I hope this helps you out.

She has't been home for a week.
It has been one week and she hasn't come home yet!
I have been waiting for one week and she still hasn't come home!
Its been one week and she's not home!
I know this is more than two sentences, but sometimes different ways that you structure a sentence will help you more appropriately convey the feeling behind the message withing the sentence.
Hope I've helped to answer your question.

this could be interpreted as
she has been home less than a week
she arrived home less than a week ago
evey one else assumed that sentence meant she was gone for a week but there is the alternative possibility given the choice of words that what was meant was actually that she returned returned home less than 7 days (1 week) ago

It has been one week since she has been home.
She has not been at home for one week.
I am assuming your sentence means that she has been gone for a week. It could mean that she has only been home for a week. The sentence you have been given (She has not been home a week) is not a clear sentence.

1st, that is awkward to begin with, sort of sounds more British than American.
"For a week, she hasn't been home."
"It's been a week since she's been home."
