When a DD provider opens a new residential service setting, the provider must complete a self-assessment at least 15 business days before opening. Residential settings include group homes, host homes, and shared living homes.
When a DD provider opens a new non-residential site, the provider must notify DDD Provider Relations at DHHS.DDProviderRelations@nebraska.gov so an assessment can be completed at least 15 business days before opening. Non-residential settings include workshops, hubs, enclaves, and other locations where day services occur.
For more information on the plan for home and community-based services, visit the Final Settings Rule page.
