Respite, Chore, and Transportation Services
Sets the standards for in-home respite (assessment before the first visit, matching the worker to the participant, an emergency notification plan for each visit, a supervisor available during the shift), chore services (heavy cleaning, yard work and snow removal only as authorized, safe use of equipment, no pest control), and transportation (who may drive clients, driver and vehicle checks, seat belts, emergencies, and what each program pays for).
