5-013.04B1a Excluded Caregivers

473 NAC 5-013.04B1a

The following caregivers are not eligible to receive respite service:

1. Caregivers paid for service/care provided to the client by Title XIX or Title XX;

2. Operators of facilities who are paid to provide supervision (e.g., adult family home, residential care facilities); or

3. Operators of domiciliary facilities or room and board homes. (Exception: If the client resides with a relative or friend on a room-and-board basis and that caregiver also provides supervision for the client, the caregiver may be eligible for respite care.)

 Note: A facility which has an opening may wish to admit an additional client on a respite basis. As long as the facility is not being paid for the additional client through another source, the facility may contract with and bill Title XX.

(Example: Mr. A is a permanent resident of a certified Adult Family Home. Mr. B lives with his adult daughter who provides his care. The AFH sponsor is not an eligible caregiver for respite from Mr. A's care, but may be the provider of respite care for Mr. B.)
