Residential and ADS Services
Adult Day Services
Learning the skills you need to live a full life.
Morgan County Board of contacts each new individual that is found eligible or transfers into local services before a SSA is assigned and any other services are discussed. This allows each individual and their support team to consider the full-range of community-employment options available to them first. MCBDD highly encourages referrals to Opportunity for Ohioans with Disabilities (OOD) before any adult day support can be considered. MCBDD educates individuals and their families about the Workforce Innovation and Opportunities Act and what that means for their situation. If Adult Day Supports (ADS’s) are an appropriate fit, an individual’s SSA will arrange tours and work with the individual/team to plan ADS supports.
Residential Services
Helping you find a place to call home.
If residential service and supports are needed for an individual, their assigned SSA will meet with the individual/team to assess the current needs and plan appropriate home and community-based supports. This could be in the form of remote technology that allows an individual to remain independent while still getting an appropriate level of supports. It might mean arranging hands-on assistance from a Homemaker Personal Care (HPC) worker for help with personal care, grocery shopping, budgeting, life skill development or general supervision anywhere from a few hours a month up to 24/7 care.
