The Illinois Homemaker Service Provider Policy Manual establishes a comprehensive framework for agencies delivering homemaker services to individuals with disabilities or older adults, enabling them to maintain independence and quality of life in their own homes. This manual aligns with the Illinois Administrative Code (Title 89, Part 240), the Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Waiver regulations (42 CFR 441.301), and the Illinois Department on Aging (IDoA) Community Care Program (CCP) standards, ensuring compliance with state and federal requirements.
The manual provides detailed guidance for implementing homemaker services under programs administered by the Illinois Department on Aging (IDoA) and the Illinois Department of Human Services Division of Rehabilitation Services (IDHS-DRS). Homemaker services are designed to assist individuals with activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs). 
Key areas covered include:
  • Eligibility and Service Access: Policies outline eligibility criteria for individuals who are Medicaid-eligible, require assistance with ADLs or IADLs, and are enrolled in programs such as the Community Care Program or HCBS Waiver services. 
  • Service Delivery Standards: Homemaker services include assistance with meal preparation, light housekeeping, laundry, grocery shopping, medication reminders, personal care tasks, and companionship to support independent living.
  • Individualized Service Plans: Person-centered service plans tailored to each client’s needs, preferences, and goals for maintaining independence.
  • Staff Qualifications and Training: Training requirements established by IDoA or IDHS-DRS, including instruction on client rights, safety protocols, infection control practices, emergency response procedures, and task-specific skills.
  • Client Rights: Policies ensure that individuals receiving homemaker services are treated with dignity and respect while maintaining autonomy over their care decisions.
  • Health and Safety: Guidelines emphasize safe practices during service delivery, including proper handling of household tasks and adherence to emergency preparedness protocols.
  • Funding and Reimbursement: The manual includes information on Medicaid reimbursement processes, billing procedures for homemaker services, and reporting obligations for providers.
  • Quality Assurance: Implementation of quality improvement measurements in monitoring service effectiveness, client satisfaction, and compliance with regulatory standards.
  • Coordination with Other Services: Policies encourage collaboration between homemaker service providers and other service providers such as case managers, personal assistance agencies, adaptive equipment suppliers, or home health care professionals.
This manual serves as an essential resource for providers delivering homemaker services in Illinois.
