Residential care in Missouri—such as Residential Care Facilities (RCF) or group homes—must meet the licensing standards set by the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) and align with the service expectations of Medicaid waiver programs. This manual provides all the operational tools needed to begin or refine residential services with confidence.

Included in this manual:

• Steps for licensing a residential care facility under DHSS guidelines

• Templates for individualized service plans (ISPs), staff schedules, and incident documentation

• Policies covering resident rights, supervision, medication handling, and behavioral interventions

• Intake forms, house rules, and emergency preparedness protocols

• Medicaid billing support for Aged & Disabled, DD, and Community Living waivers

• Practical strategies for partnering with service coordinators, guardians, and inspectors

A must-have resource for entrepreneurs and providers aiming to serve Missouri’s most vulnerable populations responsibly and professionally.
