Course 109.5: State or Agency-Specific Respite Information: Each state has different laws, rules, regulations, and funding around respite care. Course 109.5 is an optional, supplemental course that can be inserted after Course 109 and before Course 110 to cover important state- or agency-specific information for your learners.
Important notes:
Course 109.5 is not part of the official NRCPT Core Curriculum. It cannot be included on the NRCPT certificate, and the NRCPT logo cannot be used on the slides.
RCAW and the NRCPT Toolkit collaborators are not responsible for any content you add that addresses state- or agency-specific training requirements.
The materials provided below are a template only. You must customize them with accurate, relevant information. You are not required to use all slides — they are simply a starting point for your course development.
Information to Consider Adding to Course 109.5:
Overview of Respite in the state (unique models, self-directed, etc.?)
State funding sources for respite
Provider pay rates
Respite provider training, licensing or credentialing requirements
State regulations or restrictions for respite providers (restrictions on type of care that can be provided, such as medication management; assisting with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) or Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLS); definition of companion care; age and qualification requirements, etc.)
State child and adult abuse and neglect laws and information on how to report an incident
Next Steps – Now that the provider is trained, information on who do they contact and how do they connect with family caregivers needing respite (e.g., Information about a State Respite or Worker Registry, registration with Aging and Disability Resource Center or other No Wrong Door or long-term care system)
How to find respite jobs or employment opportunities
Respite Coalition/ Organization and how it can support the respite provider
Links to additional training opportunities
The course template is offered as a PowerPoint file. Once you have added the information, you may need to change the format to individual image files that can be uploaded into online learning management systems. These materials are stored on Dropbox.
If you would like your state or agency-specific Course 109.5 to be in Spanish or any other language, you are responsible for the translation.
