Ohioans receiving Homemaker/Personal Care (HPC) and Developmental Disabilities Nursing Services will soon be required to use Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) when their services begin and end. Kristy Wathen from the Ohio Department of Medicaid tells you 5 Things to Know About EVV. Shared Living is an option within Residential Services in which a person in the community and a person with an intellectual or developmental disability choose to live together and share life's experiences. See first hand in the video above, a success story here in Guernsey County.

Working Wednesday  Our August Working Wednesday is R.C. He participated in the Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities (OOD) Summer Work Experience program. This is a five week program throughout the summer where an person works at a location with a job coach to develop the skills necessary for employment. During many conversations with R.C., his SSA, Misty Angle, determined that employment was something R.C. was interested in, but he and his family were not sure where to begin. SSA Angle made the referral to OOD and the process began.He selected to work with Employment Options as his employment provider and began his journey in July. R.C.'s job involved a lot of manual labor, a task he was hesitant about, but a few week's in he admitted to really liking his job. He was tired when returning home, but looked forward to getting his paycheck. Congratulations R.C.!
