The Ohio Respite Care Services Policy Manual provides a comprehensive framework for operating a state-compliant provider agency delivering temporary relief services to individuals and families under Ohio’s Medicaid Waiver and Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) programs. This manual aligns with the Ohio Administrative Code (OAC), the Ohio Department of Medicaid (ODM) and Department of Developmental Disabilities (DODD) guidelines, and applicable federal HCBS waiver requirements to ensure full regulatory compliance.
It includes detailed policies and procedures related to client intake and eligibility, person-centered service planning, staffing and human resources, clinical protocols, emergency preparedness, client safety, rights and responsibilities, environmental standards, incident reporting, and quality assurance. The manual also incorporates HIPAA and ADA compliance, as well as standards for confidentiality, accessibility, and community integration.
Designed for use by provider agency administrators, direct care staff, clinicians, and compliance officers, the manual serves as a vital operational tool for meeting state licensing, Medicaid provider certification, and audit-readiness standards. It supports agencies in delivering high-quality respite care while adhering to Ohio’s regulatory framework and the core principles of dignity, safety, person-centered planning, and community inclusion.
