The Montana Respite Care Services Agency Provider Policy Manual offers a comprehensive framework for operating agencies that deliver respite care services in compliance with Montana state regulations. This manual aligns with the Montana Administrative Rules (e.g., Mont. Admin. r. 37.40.1451, 37.34.974), Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS) standards, and Medicaid waiver requirements to ensure full regulatory compliance. It is designed to guide agencies in providing high-quality, short-term care to relieve unpaid primary caregivers of individuals with disabilities, chronic conditions, or other care needs.
The manual includes detailed policies on:
  • Licensing and Certification: Requirements for agency and provider licensure under Montana's Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers and Lifespan Respite Program guidelines.
  • Service Delivery Standards: Protocols for in-home and out-of-home respite care, including emergency preparedness, caregiver training, and adherence to safety standards.
  • Caregiver Qualifications: Criteria for respite providers, including physical and mental fitness, knowledge of client conditions, medication management, and basic first aid capabilities.
  • Client Rights and Protections: Ensuring respect for client dignity, privacy, and rights while maintaining safety and quality of care.
  • Documentation and Reporting: Guidelines for maintaining accurate records of care plans, service hours, and caregiver performance.
  • Quality Assurance: Procedures for monitoring service delivery through inspections, satisfaction surveys, and compliance reviews.
  • Funding and Reimbursement: Policies for Medicaid reimbursement under HCBS waivers and the Lifespan Respite Voucher Program.
This manual serves as a critical resource for agencies to meet state licensure requirements while promoting the well-being of caregivers and care recipients across Montana’s urban and rural communities. It ensures that respite services are accessible, affordable, and delivered in alignment with Montana’s regulatory framework.
