The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS),
states, and home and community based services (HCBS) providers are in the
process of implementing the HCBS Settings
Rule.
The National Association of States United for Aging and Disabilities
(NASUAD) is evaluating issues, challenges, and promising practices related to
non-residential services for older adults and people with disabilities. There
are ongoing questions regarding how non-residential services for these
populations should be structured in order to comply with the rule while also
providing the comprehensive array of health and social services that they were
designed to include. In particular, this may affect adult day services provided
in the same building as nursing home or ICF/ID services.
NASUAD is conducting a brief survey of non-residential HCBS
providers (e.g., adult day service providers) to offer federal policymakers
examples of ways to provide non-residential services in a manner that meets the
rule’s requirements as well as the needs of these populations, and to assist
with technical assistance to state agencies as they assess options for service
delivery.
The survey is available online here. We would greatly appreciate a response by Tuesday, October 31st from
any providers that also operate adult day services as an HCBS provider.
