The Connecticut Meal & Nutrition Services Policy Manual provides a comprehensive operational framework for agencies delivering nutritious, prepared meals to individuals who are elderly, disabled, or otherwise unable to prepare or access adequate food on their own. It ensures compliance with the Connecticut General Statutes § 17b-342, and aligns with policies established by the Connecticut Department of Social Services (DSS) through programs such as the Connecticut Home Care Program for Elders (CHCPE), the Community First Choice (CFC) State Plan Option, and applicable Medicaid waiver programs. The manual also supports adherence to federal Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) regulations under 42 CFR § 441.520, as well as nutrition standards outlined by the Older Americans Act (OAA) where applicable. It includes policies and procedures for meal planning and preparation, dietary accommodations, safe packaging and delivery, food safety protocols, client rights, documentation standards, and quality assurance procedures. By following this manual, providers ensure the consistent delivery of safe, person-centered meal and nutrition services in full compliance with Connecticut’s long-term services and support framework.
