The Maryland Community Living Agency Policy Manual provides a comprehensive operational framework for agencies offering community living services to individuals with developmental disabilities, intellectual disabilities, or other support needs in Maryland. This manual aligns with the Code of Maryland Regulations (COMAR), particularly COMAR 10.22.08 and other relevant sections under the oversight of the Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA) and the Maryland Department of Health (MDH). It also ensures compliance with Medicaid waiver programs, including the Community Pathways, Community Supports, and Family Supports Waivers. The manual includes policies and procedures governing agency licensing and certification, individualized service planning, residential support models, staff qualifications and training, person-centered care, health and safety protocols, medication management, client rights and protections, incident reporting, emergency preparedness, and quality assurance. It emphasizes promoting independence, choice, and inclusion for individuals in community-based residential settings such as group homes, supported living arrangements, and alternative living units. This manual serves as a foundational resource for community living providers in Maryland, ensuring the delivery of high-quality, person-centered services that empower individuals to live fulfilling and independent lives within their communities while maintaining full regulatory compliance.
