The Louisiana Respite Care Services Policy Manual provides a comprehensive operational framework for agencies delivering short-term, temporary relief services to primary caregivers of individuals with disabilities, chronic illnesses, or age-related conditions. It ensures compliance with the Louisiana Administrative Code (LAC) Title 50, Part XXI, which governs Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) under the oversight of the Louisiana Department of Health (LDH), and aligns with policies outlined in the Office for Citizens with Developmental Disabilities (OCDD) and the Louisiana Medicaid Services Manual. The manual supports adherence to waiver-specific requirements under programs such as the New Opportunities Waiver (NOW), Residential Options Waiver (ROW), and Children’s Choice Waiver. It includes policies and procedures for provider qualifications, care documentation, service authorization, caregiver relief protocols, client rights, safety procedures, emergency preparedness, and quality assurance standards. By following this manual, providers can ensure safe, consistent, and person-centered respite care while maintaining full compliance with Louisiana’s regulatory framework for HCBS providers.
