Section 388-845-1620. Are there limits to the respite care you can receive?

The following limitations apply to the respite care you can receive:

(1) For basic plus, core, and CIIBS waivers, the DDA assessment will determine how much respite you can receive per chapter 388-828 WAC.

(2) For the IFS waiver, the dollar amount for your annual allocation in your IFS waiver limits the amount of respite care you may receive.

(3) Respite cannot replace:

(a) Day care while your parent or guardian is at work; or

(b) Personal care hours available to you. When determining your unmet need, DDA will first consider the personal care hours available to you.

(4) Respite providers have the following limitations and requirements:

(a) If respite is provided in a private home, the home must be licensed unless it is the client's home or the home of a relative of specified degree per WAC 388-825-345;

(b) The respite provider cannot be the spouse of the caregiver receiving respite if the spouse and the caregiver reside in the same residence; and

(c) If you receive respite from a provider who requires licensure, the respite services are limited to those age-specific services contained in the provider's license.

(5) Your individual respite provider may not provide:

(a) Other DDA services for you during your respite care hours; or

(b) DDA paid services to other persons during your respite care hours.

(6) Your primary caregivers may not provide other DDA services for you during your respite care hours.

(7) If your personal care provider is your parent and you live in your parent's adult family home you may not receive respite.

(8) DDA may not pay for any fees associated with the respite care; for example, membership fees at a recreational facility, or insurance fees.

(9) If you require respite from a licensed practical nurse (LPN) or a registered nurse (RN), services may be authorized as skilled nursing services per WAC 388-845-1700 using an LPN or RN. Respite care from a LPN or RN requires prior approval per WAC 388-845-1700(2). If you are on the IFS or basic plus waiver, skilled nursing services are limited to the dollar amounts of your basic plus aggregate services or IFS annual allocation per WAC 388-845-0210 and 388-845-0230.
