Case Management and Intensive Case Management Programs provide in-home services to those with the greatest need. As a public agency, no one in need is turned away due to inability to pay. For over a decade, Ohio has had state-operated community services in a joint effort with the state. More than 6,300 persons receive SOS services, ranging from intensive community support services to participation in work programs and day camps. Alone programs are clinically supervised by SOS supervisors and the SOS program performs administrative and billing functions for the services provided by the program.
Administrative supervision is provided by the SOS program.
Three more medical group homes and two sex offender homes are slated to be created this year. The state s Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Services Division prepared a long-range plan for service provisions for the U.S. Department of Justice and the Oregon Legislature. Under this plan, state officials recognize that some state-operated programs are necessary for the most difficult to serve clients, as well as to assure that sufficient capacity exists to respond to civil commitments or emergency situations. The state also operates three special care facilities, which can accommodate severely handicapped and developmentally disabled individuals, and 10 apartments for the elderly developmentally disabled. In addition to the housing units, the state operates three day sites which offer programs where specialists work with developmentally disabled individuals on a variety of basic functions to aid in their development.
