The Alaska Respite Care Services Agency Policy Manual provides a comprehensive framework for the delivery of temporary relief services to family caregivers of individuals with disabilities, chronic health conditions, or age-related needs across the state of Alaska. This manual aligns with the regulatory requirements of the Alaska Department of Health, including the Division of Senior and Disabilities Services (SDS), and complies with federal guidelines under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Lifespan Respite Care Act, and Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Waiver programs. The manual outlines policies and procedures related to service eligibility, caregiver assessment, scheduling and delivery of respite care (including in-home, out-of-home, emergency, and planned services), provider qualifications and training, documentation and reporting, client rights and confidentiality, safety and emergency response protocols, and quality assurance. Respite care services are designed to reduce caregiver stress, prevent burnout, and ensure continuity of care for individuals receiving long-term support. Serving as both a compliance and operational guide, the Alaska Respite Care Services Agency Policy Manual ensures that providers deliver safe, person-centered respite services in alignment with state and federal requirements—supporting the health and well-being of both caregivers and care recipients in community-based settings.
