Title XIX Waiver I/DD have changed many times over the years
and will continue to change based on federal mandates and the change in social
perceptions. The changes that have been occurring
most recently have the appearance and possibility of being changes for the
worse. The WV I/DD Waiver program will
be making some changes for the 2015 year. The one that stands out the most is
due to budgetary planning and cutting costs: the 1:1 apartment settings will be
greatly reduced and not encouraged. The
program does offer a review and comment period; however, will this really allow
for the change to be dismissed? The
waiver program is supposed to be based on person centered planning; however,
budgetary needs far out weigh the needs of the person. In addition, people will be forced to live in
ways they do not want and it could be negatively impacting their
independence. Folks receiving services
already have very little choice in their own lives and the ones they do have
will be even further reduced. Choices
and independence will be based on what the roommate wants to do as well, and if
the roommate doesn’t want to do something, then they won’t do it. This is not how the process should work. This is not beneficial to anyone. The pocketbook outweighs the needs of the
individual. It makes more sense to the
powers that be to cut residential services that promote independence and growth
rather than discouraging people from sitting for 6 hours a day in day
habilitation settings doing puzzles and coloring pictures. This train of thought is infuriating. Individuals and their families need to be
aware of the upcoming events and demand that the person be reinstated into the
decision making process. As team members
we see more and more that people’s rights are being reduced and more
restrictions are being implemented. If the program is going to move forward,
then the people the program is supposed to be serving needs to have a chance to
speak out and make the program work for them.
I am ROSE SMITH from CANADA a single parent, before my husband died he left us with so much DEBT that we could not cope with life, I was totally confused on what to do. When I was going through the internet I came across a POST by MARCUS CAFE about how Mrs JULIA NAVARO help him to get a loan so I applied for the loan from JULIA NAVARO through her mail (navaroloancompany@yahoo.com) of $200,000 with a duration of 10 years. When I was applying for the loan I made a vow to GOD that if I get the loan I will let the world know what she did for me, to my greatest surprise my loan was granted with
ReplyDeletean interest of 2%. I was able to settle my debt and start up a new life and business with a settled family. So if you want any type of loan for as low as 2% please contact JULIA NAVARO on her mail navaroloancompany@yahoo.com.I just fulfilled my vow.
