The New Jersey Home Health Agency Policy Manual provides a comprehensive operational framework for agencies delivering skilled home health care services to individuals with acute, chronic, or rehabilitative medical needs across New Jersey. This manual aligns with the regulations established by the New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH), the New Jersey Department of Human Services (DHS), and complies with federal Medicare Conditions of Participation (42 CFR Part 484) as well as Medicaid Managed Long Term Services and Supports (MLTSS) program requirements. The manual includes policies and procedures governing agency licensure and certification, patient eligibility and referral, comprehensive assessments, individualized care planning, skilled nursing care, physical, occupational, and speech therapies, home health aide services, medication management, chronic disease monitoring, infection control practices, coordination with physicians and interdisciplinary teams, staff licensure and training, patient rights and protections, emergency preparedness, documentation and billing, incident reporting, and quality assurance. This manual emphasizes the delivery of high-quality, evidence-based, and person-centered care in the least restrictive setting—an individual’s home—supporting recovery, independence, and the prevention of unnecessary hospitalizations or institutional care. This manual serves as a foundational resource for home health agencies in New Jersey, ensuring safe, compliant, and effective service delivery that enhances health outcomes and promotes dignity and autonomy.
