The Nevada Respite Care Agency Policy Manual provides a comprehensive operational framework for agencies delivering respite care services to individuals with disabilities, chronic health conditions, or age-related needs—and their caregivers—across the State of Nevada. This manual aligns with the regulations established by the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), including the Aging and Disability Services Division (ADSD) and the Division of Health Care Financing and Policy (DHCFP), and complies with Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waiver programs, including the Intellectual Disabilities Waiver, Physical Disabilities Waiver, and Frail Elderly Waiver. The manual includes policies and procedures governing agency enrollment and approval, participant and caregiver eligibility and assessment, delivery of in-home and out-of-home respite care, service authorization and scheduling, staff qualifications and training, participant rights and protections, emergency preparedness, health and safety protocols, documentation and billing, incident reporting, and quality assurance. It supports both planned and emergency respite, offering temporary relief to unpaid caregivers while maintaining consistent, high-quality care for care recipients. This manual serves as a foundational resource for respite care providers in Nevada, ensuring the delivery of high-quality, person-centered, and compliant services that protect caregiver well-being, strengthen families, and promote independence for individuals receiving care.
