OAR 411-066-0000: Statement of Purpose

(1) Adult day services are community-based group programs designed to meet the service needs of aging and people with physical disabilities in a structured non-residential setting. (2) These rules: (a) Create a registry of adult day services programs and describe the process and criteria for listing on the registry. (b) Allow state certification for programs enrolled as a provider with the State of Oregon to provide Medicaid-funded adult day services to Medicaid-eligible individuals in home and community-based settings. Certification by the Department of Human Services (DHS), Aging and People with Disabilities (APD) is intended to fulfill the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) requirements of "state certified" adult day service programs with the purpose of continuing eligibility criteria for Medicare beneficiaries. (c) Define the criteria for state certification.
