The Texas Homemaker Services Policy Manual provides a comprehensive framework for delivering homemaker services to individuals in Texas, including older adults, individuals with disabilities, and those recovering from illness or injury. This manual aligns with federal and state regulations, including Medicaid waiver program guidelines such as STAR+PLUS and Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS), as well as policies established by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC). It ensures compliance with legal mandates to provide essential non-medical support that promotes safety, independence, and quality of life in the home environment.
The manual outlines policies and procedures for assessing client needs, delivering homemaker services, and maintaining compliance with state licensure and program requirements. It emphasizes person-centered care, staff training, and quality assurance to ensure effective service delivery.
Key areas covered in the manual include:
  • Eligibility and Enrollment: Guidelines for determining eligibility for homemaker services under Medicaid waiver programs or other state-funded initiatives. Eligibility criteria typically include functional limitations that require assistance with household tasks to maintain a safe living environment.
  • Service Delivery Standards: Policies for providing homemaker services such as light housekeeping, meal preparation, grocery shopping, laundry assistance, and other household tasks that support daily living.
  • Assessment and Service Planning: Procedures for conducting comprehensive assessments to identify client needs and developing individualized service plans (ISPs) that outline specific tasks, service frequencies, and goals.
  • Provider Requirements: Standards for homemaker service providers, including training in areas such as infection control, cultural competency, emergency preparedness, and recognizing signs of abuse or neglect. Providers must also comply with Medicaid billing requirements and licensure under the Texas Administrative Code.
  • Client Rights: Provisions to protect client rights, including informed consent for services, confidentiality of records, freedom from discrimination or exploitation, and access to grievance procedures.
  • Safety Standards: Policies to ensure a safe home environment through regular safety checks and staff training on emergency protocols.
  • Documentation and Compliance: Requirements for maintaining accurate records of service delivery, client progress notes, incident reporting, and compliance with Medicaid or other funding program standards.
  • Quality Assurance: Policies for monitoring service effectiveness through performance reviews, client satisfaction surveys, audits by HHSC or accrediting bodies, and corrective action plans to address identified deficiencies.
The Texas Homemaker Services Policy Manual serves as an essential resource for agencies and providers to deliver high-quality homemaker services while adhering to state regulations. It supports improved client outcomes by fostering independence, enhancing quality of life, and ensuring safe and supportive home environments.
