Are capacity assessments mandatory for service recipients who are on the In Home Supports Waiver (IHSW)?
DDSD policy requires that a service recipient’s guardianship status be reviewed annually. However, only the guardianship Initial Review and Annual Review is required for those on the IHSW. If the review indicates the need for a full capacity assessment, it should be offered and included as an outcome in the Needs Assessment if the family wishes to meet to complete it.
