How to Become a Provider

MUI/UI

If a person with a disability, whether child or adult, is abused, neglected, or exploited, please report this information as soon as possible to the Hancock County Board of Developmental Disabilities.  If you have an unusual incident that you believe meets the level of MUI, you should submit it to uir@blanchardvalley.org.  During evenings, weekends, or holidays, call our emergency number at 419-722-9262.

DODD Health & Welfare Alerts

All providers who are contracted, certified or licensed to support persons with developmental disabilities are required to report certain MUIs to the county board within four hours of the incident. These include:

  • Accidental or suspicious death

  • Exploitation

  • Misappropriation

  • Neglect

  • Peer to peer act

  • Physical abuse

  • Sexual abuse

  • Verbal abuse

  • Media inquiries

The most important thing you can do is make sure the person is safe.  Only by working together as a community can we help ensure the health and safety of people with disabilities.

Waivers

Waivers are one way to pay for services that support individuals with developmental disabilities living on their own, with family, with a roommate, or with a provider through Ohio Shared Living.  The department administers three different waivers: the Individual Options Waiver, the Level One Waiver, and Self-Empowered Life Funding Waiver.
