RESIDENTIAL

You can become a residential provider:

The Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities certifies all providers of supported living / Medicaid waiver services in Ohio. To obtain more information on this subject click the following link http://odmrdd.state.oh.us/ and look for the provider tab.

After you have been certified, an individual with residential funding must choose you to be their provider. Once you have been selected as their provider, you must provide proof of your certification and professional liability insurance. Independent/individual providers must show proof of CPR and First Aid training, MUI/UI and individual rights training. After your certification, proof of insurance and training have been received, you will be invited to a meeting where an Individual Service Plan (ISP) will be developed naming you as the provider and identifying the first date you will begin to provide service. After agreeing to provide the services outlined in the plan a Payment Authorization for Waiver Services form (PAWs) will be issued, authorizing you to deliver and bill for the services you are providing.

In order to receive services from the Trumbull County Board of Developmental Disabilities, a person must:

• be a resident of Trumbull County;
• have documented disability, a physical or mental impairment other than mental illness, and that disability:
• must have manifested prior to the age of 22 and
• is likely to continue indefinitely;
• have completed an assessment called the Ohio Eligibility Determination Instrument (C/OEDI), and documented substantial functional limitations in several areas of the instrument.

The board, leadership, and employees of the Trumbull County Board of Developmental Disabilities are steadfast in maintaining and creating programs and services that meet the unique needs of individuals and their families.
