Regularly provided care and supervision of children, for periods of less than 24 hours per day, while the parents/primary non-paid caregiver are out of the home. This service is provided in the recipient’s own home or in an approved out of home location to do all of the following:

2. Provide appropriate care and supervision to protect the recipient’s safety in the absence of family members;
3. Relieve family members from the constantly demanding responsibility of caring for a recipient; and
4. Attend to the recipient’s basic self-help needs and other activities of daily living, including interaction, socialization, and continuation of usual daily routines which would ordinarily be performed by family members.
