Section 660-5-44-.01 - Homemaker Services For Adults

(1) Homemaker service provides assistance in managing and keeping in operation the home of the individual who is (1) at risk of abuse, neglect, or exploitation and for whom homemaker service is the least restrictive method by which such protection can be provided; or

(2) at risk of institutionalization and can continue to safely live outside of an institution if homemaker services are provided.

(2) When waiting lists must be established for recipients of the service, these same criteria will be used (in order listed) for removing names from the waiting list when the service becomes available. Service also includes help in bathing and dressing when the county department has documentation that the homemaker has successfully completed training to perform these tasks; limited transportation; and case management related to the need for acceptance of an appropriate use of the service, and information and referral.

(3) When two or more adults on the waiting list have the same priority, the "date of request" will be used to determine which has priority.

(4) If terminations or reductions are necessary due to funding reductions, the persons most recently authorized with the lowest priority will be the first terminated or reduced. Those terminated or reduced will go to the top of the waiting list.
