The Minnesota 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 Minnesota. This manual aligns with the regulations established by the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS), including applicable sections of the Minnesota Health Care Programs (MHCP) Provider Manual and state licensing requirements. It also ensures compliance with Medicaid waiver programs, such as the Elderly Waiver (EW), Community Access for Disability Inclusion (CADI) Waiver, Brain Injury (BI) Waiver, and other state-funded respite care programs. 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 Minnesota, ensuring the delivery of high-quality, compliant services that enhance the quality of life for both individuals and their caregivers.
