The West Virginia FOCUS Family Agency Policy Manual provides a comprehensive operational framework for agencies delivering services through the FOCUS (Families and Communities United for Success) program, which supports families of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) across the State of West Virginia. This manual aligns with the regulations established by the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources (DHHR), particularly the Bureau for Children and Families and the Bureau for Behavioral Health, and complies with applicable Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waiver programs such as the Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities Waiver (IDDW). The manual includes policies and procedures governing agency certification and participation, family and participant eligibility, person- and family-centered planning, delivery of in-home and community-based supports, caregiver education and respite, advocacy training, resource coordination, crisis prevention and intervention, staff qualifications and training, participant and family rights and protections, documentation and billing, incident reporting, and quality assurance. It emphasizes partnership with families to enhance natural supports, strengthen caregiving capacity, and promote self-determination, inclusion, and long-term stability for individuals with I/DD. This manual serves as a foundational resource for FOCUS Family service providers in West Virginia, ensuring the delivery of high-quality, compliant, and compassionate services that build stronger, more resilient families and communities.
