473 NAC 6-001.03

The sponsor and the worker assigned responsibility for case management shall ensure that no adult family home guest has health conditions or handicaps which require ongoing medical treatment and supervision other than self-administered medications and physician office visits. An adult who requires an occasional reminder to take medications may be appropriate for adult family home care.

If a guest requires temporary assistance with administration of medication, the guest's physician shall provide written approval for the guest to reside in the adult family home and for the sponsor to assist with the administration of the medication.
