The Maine Environmental Modifications Policy Manual provides a comprehensive operational framework for agencies delivering environmental modification services to individuals with disabilities, older adults, and others requiring home accessibility adaptations in Maine. This manual aligns with the regulations established by the Maine Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), including the Office of Aging and Disability Services (OADS) and the MaineCare Benefits Manual. It also ensures compliance with Medicaid waiver programs, such as the Section 21 Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Waiver, Section 29 Support Waiver, and the Section 19 Elder and Adults with Disabilities Waiver. The manual includes policies and procedures covering agency licensing and certification, participant eligibility and assessment, environmental modification planning, contractor and vendor management, accessibility and safety standards, staff qualifications and training, client rights and protections, budgeting and funding management, project documentation and billing, emergency preparedness, and quality assurance. It promotes person-centered planning to ensure modifications effectively enhance accessibility, safety, and independence within the individual's home environment. This manual serves as a foundational resource for environmental modification agencies in Maine, ensuring the delivery of high-quality, compliant services that support individuals in maintaining independence and improving their quality of life at home.
