The Maine Home Care Agency Policy Manual provides a comprehensive operational framework for agencies delivering home care services to individuals of all ages in need of assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs), and other supportive services 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 programs, including the Section 19 Elder and Adults with Disabilities Waiver, the Section 21 and Section 29 Waivers, and the state’s Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) programs. The manual includes policies and procedures covering agency licensing and certification, client eligibility and assessment, individualized service planning, personal care assistance, homemaker and companion services, respite care, staff qualifications and training, client rights and protections, health and safety protocols, infection control, emergency preparedness, incident management, documentation and billing, and quality assurance. It promotes person-centered, compassionate care designed to enhance the independence, well-being, and dignity of clients receiving care in their own homes. This manual serves as a foundational resource for home care agencies in Maine, ensuring the delivery of high-quality, compliant services that support individuals in maintaining their independence and quality of life within their communities.
