The Hawaii Respite Care Services Agency Policy Manual provides a comprehensive framework for operating a state-compliant agency delivering respite care services in Hawaii. This manual aligns with the Hawaii Administrative Rules (HAR) Chapter 11-700, the Hawaii Revised Statutes §321-14.8, and federal regulations, including applicable sections of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), to ensure full regulatory compliance.
It includes policies on licensing, service scope, client eligibility, caregiver relief standards, emergency preparedness, infection control, quality assurance, and employee training. The manual supports agencies in meeting state licensure requirements as mandated by the Office of Health Care Assurance (OHCA), which oversees licensing and compliance for home care agencies in Hawaii. Additionally, it incorporates Medicaid and Medicare Conditions of Participation when applicable.
This policy manual serves as a guide for maintaining high-quality respite care services while adhering to Hawaii's regulatory framework. It ensures that agencies provide temporary care to clients in approved settings, such as private residences, licensed day care facilities, or community care homes, while offering relief to primary caregivers. The manual emphasizes compliance with state-mandated service plans, confidentiality standards, and quality improvement programs to promote health, safety, and independence for clients.
