Community first services and supports requirements for shared services clarification

SF 3928 clarifies rules for "shared services" in Minnesota's Community First Services and Supports program, where one personal care assistant provides services to two or three eligible recipients simultaneously in the same setting (like a home or child care program). The bill defines shared services as voluntary arrangements based on recipient compatibility, care needs, and safety, requiring providers to offer recipients the choice between shared or one-on-one care. It mandates specific documentation on time sheets (including shared services details), training for assistants on each recipient, and quarterly monitoring by qualified professionals to ensure safety and appropriateness. This bill directly affects personal care assistants, providers, and recipients who may choose shared services over individual care.
