The Maryland Respite Care Agency Policy Manual provides a comprehensive operational framework for agencies delivering respite care services across the state of Maryland. This manual is designed in accordance with the Code of Maryland Regulations (COMAR), particularly COMAR 10.07.14 and related sections governing home and community-based services, as well as applicable Maryland Department of Health (MDH) standards and Medicaid program requirements. It outlines agency policies and procedures covering licensing and compliance, client intake and assessment, service planning, caregiver qualifications, client rights and confidentiality, health and safety practices, emergency preparedness, and quality assurance. The manual ensures that agencies meet Maryland state licensure requirements, adhere to Medicaid waiver program standards (including Community First Choice and the Community Options Waiver), and uphold best practices in providing safe, person-centered respite care services. This manual serves as a foundational guide for Maryland respite care providers, promoting high-quality, compliant, and compassionate care for clients and their caregivers.
