Supported Living Waivers - Developmental Disabilities: Individual Options (IO), Level 1, Self Waiver | Geauga County Board Of Developmental Disabilities

Provides supports needed by client (based on assessed needs) to continue living in the community. These waivers can be used to pay for a wide range of services to pay for housing, in-home services (such as help with meal preparation and household chores) and other services to maintain the independence of the client (such as transportation, help with budgeting, and life skills training as needed). There are three types of waivers depending on the level of the client's needs. The Individual Options (IO) Waiver is for people who may need a lot of help in their home and who may need many different kinds of services. The Level One Waiver is for people who do not need a lot of paid staff to provide services. Usually people using a Level One Waiver only need help with a few things, or they have people who can help them with some of the things they need, like cooking meals, taking showers, or driving places. The Self-Empowered Life Funding (SELF) Waiver is for people who want to be in charge of some of their services. Those with a SELF Waiver can be in charge of hiring and training the people that provide services and manage their own budget for services. The board can help the individual select which waiver is right for them, and can help the client locate service providers who can accept the waiver.
