The Indiana Respite Care Services Agency Policy Manual provides a detailed framework for the delivery, regulation, and oversight of respite care services for individuals with disabilities, chronic conditions, or age-related needs throughout the State of Indiana. These services are designed to offer temporary relief to primary caregivers, ensuring continuity of care while promoting caregiver well-being. This manual is aligned with the Indiana Administrative Code (IAC), policies established by the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA), and applicable federal regulations under 42 CFR Part 440 and 441, governing Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS).
The manual outlines policies and procedures related to provider licensing and qualifications, participant eligibility and service authorization, scope and limitations of respite care, settings of service delivery (in-home or facility-based), safety and emergency procedures, documentation and billing compliance, participant rights and protections, and quality assurance protocols. Respite care services may be provided on a planned or emergency basis, supporting caregivers in maintaining their caregiving role while ensuring the health and safety of the individual receiving services.
This manual serves as a vital resource for respite care providers, case managers, and program administrators, ensuring services are delivered in a person-centered, safe, and compliant manner. It promotes regulatory adherence, caregiver support, and participant well-being, enabling individuals to remain in their homes and communities with sustainable support systems.
