The South Dakota Personal Assistance Services (PAS) Agency Policy Manual provides a comprehensive operational framework for agencies delivering non-medical personal assistance services to individuals with disabilities, chronic conditions, or aging-related needs across South Dakota. This manual aligns with the regulations established by the South Dakota Department of Human Services (DHS), including the Division of Long-Term Services and Supports and the Division of Developmental Disabilities. It ensures compliance with Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waiver programs such as the CHOICES Waiver, Family Support 360, and other long-term care support programs. The manual includes policies and procedures governing agency enrollment and oversight, participant eligibility and assessment, person-centered service planning, assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs), personal hygiene, mobility, nutrition support, staff qualifications and training, participant rights and protections, health and safety standards, emergency preparedness, documentation and billing, incident reporting, and quality assurance. It promotes individualized, in-home support that enables participants to maintain independence, dignity, and quality of life in their own homes and communities. This manual serves as a foundational resource for PAS providers in South Dakota, ensuring the delivery of high-quality, compliant, and person-directed services that empower individuals to live safely and confidently in the least restrictive setting.
