The Arkansas Meal and Nutrition Services Provider Agency Policy Manual provides a comprehensive framework for operating a state-compliant agency that delivers meal preparation and nutrition services to individuals in need across Arkansas. This manual aligns with the Arkansas Department of Human Services (DHS) regulations, the Arkansas Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Waiver guidelines, and federal requirements under 42 CFR Part 440, the Older Americans Act (OAA), and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) nutrition standards, ensuring full compliance with state and federal service guidelines. It includes policies on licensing, client eligibility and rights, meal planning and dietary guidelines, food safety and sanitation, service delivery standards, nutritional assessments, documentation requirements, emergency preparedness, and quality assurance, supporting agencies in meeting Medicaid waiver program requirements, state licensure, and accreditation standards. The manual serves as a guide for providing high-quality, nutritionally balanced meal and nutrition services while adhering to Arkansas’s regulatory framework for provider agencies.
