Waivered Care Services DC-DM Course

This online course is designed for Designated Coordinators (DC) and Designated
Managers (DM) at Minnesota 245D licensed providers. If your agency delivers waivered
support services — ICLS, IHS, Homemaker, Respite, Night Supervision — this course
gives you the compliance knowledge and operational framework to manage those services
correctly and confidently.

Minnesota’s 245D licensing standards require that every provider have a qualified
Designated Coordinator and Designated Manager. This course is built around what those
roles need to know about waivered services — not just the rules, but how to manage
documentation, staff, outcomes, and the ongoing CFSS transition from a manager’s seat.

**What You’ll Learn:**

– The full landscape of 245D waivered support services and your role as DC/DM
– Individual Community Living Supports (ICLS) — what they cover, who qualifies, and
how to coordinate delivery
– Homemaker Services — light cleaning to ADL assistance, billing distinctions, and
staff oversight
– Respite Care — in-home and out-of-home models, primary caregiver relief, and
operational considerations
– Night Supervision Services — awake staff requirements, documentation standards,
and safety protocols
– Documentation, outcomes tracking, and managing staff across multiple service lines
– Individualized Home Supports (IHS) — with and without training, Waiver Reimagine
updates, and community integration requirements
– CFSS for the agency-model manager — how CFSS and waiver services intersect and
coexist
– CFSS Budget Model, FMS, and consultation services — how to guide your PCA clients
through the CFSS transition
