The Georgia Respite Care Services Agency Policy Manual provides a structured framework for operating a state-compliant agency delivering respite care services to eligible individuals and families in Georgia. This manual aligns with the Georgia Department of Human Resources (DHR) Division of Aging Services regulations, including §310 In-Home Respite Service Requirements, the Georgia Rules and Regulations for Private Home Care Providers (§290-5-54), and relevant Medicaid and Medicare standards, ensuring full compliance with state and federal laws. It includes policies on licensing, service delivery characteristics, caregiver and care receiver assessments, individualized care plans, emergency preparedness, client rights, administrative requirements, and quality assurance measures. This manual supports agencies in meeting state licensure requirements, maintaining accurate records, adhering to criminal background check legislation, and implementing written service agreements with caregivers. It also emphasizes the importance of addressing the physical, emotional, and psychological needs of both caregivers and care receivers to prevent institutionalization. This policy manual serves as a comprehensive guide for agencies to deliver high-quality respite care while adhering to Georgia’s regulatory framework.
