base point in Heegaard Floer homology

It is stated in Mcduff's overview paper "FLOER THEORY AND LOW DIMENSIONAL TOPOLOGY", end of page 9, that the Heegaard Floer homology without considering a base point depends only on the homology of the underlying 3-manifold.

Can anyone tell me in detail how it depends on the homology of the 3-manifold, or show me some references?

Thank you very much.
