The Michigan Respite Care Agency Policy Manual provides a comprehensive operational framework for agencies delivering respite care services to individuals with disabilities, older adults, and others with caregiving needs in Michigan. This manual aligns with the regulations established by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS), including applicable sections of the Michigan Medicaid Provider Manual and state-funded respite care programs. It also ensures compliance with Medicaid waiver programs, such as the MI Choice Waiver Program, the Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Waiver for the Elderly and Disabled, and other community-based services. The manual includes policies and procedures covering agency licensing and certification, caregiver and client eligibility, service assessment and planning, respite care delivery, staff qualifications and training, client rights and protections, health and safety protocols, emergency preparedness, incident management, documentation and billing, and quality assurance. It promotes a person-centered approach to ensure the provision of temporary, compassionate care that supports primary caregivers while maintaining the safety, comfort, and well-being of the individuals receiving care. This manual serves as a foundational resource for respite care providers in Michigan, ensuring the delivery of high-quality, compliant services that enhance the quality of life for both individuals and their caregivers.
