How often must visits be conducted if there is no alternative schedule approved?

Under the Code of Maryland Regulations (COMAR), if there is no alternative schedule approved, visits must be conducted every 30 days. This frequency is designed to ensure that oversight and support services are maintained consistently, allowing for timely evaluation and adjustments to care or service plans as necessary. Regular visits within this timeframe promote effective communication between service providers and clients, helping to address any emerging needs or changes in circumstances promptly.

The 30-day interval is specifically established in the regulations to balance the need for adequate supervision and the practicality of service delivery, ensuring that clients receive the support required without unnecessary delays. This guideline is fundamental in the various service areas regulated by COMAR, emphasizing its importance in maintaining standards of care.
