family support services

    Family Support Services is a funding source that helps families care for their loved ones at home. Money is provided to County Boards by the Ohio Department of MRDD. The support is intended to enhance the quality of life for the entire family and includes:

Respite Care
Adaptive Equipment
Home modifications to accommodate the family member with a disability
Special Diets
Other services/items needed to meet the family’s needs

   To access FSS funds, the family must be caring for the person with a developmental disability at home and the individual must be eligible for services through the County Board (even if he or she is not receiving services at the time of request). For information on FSS, call 740-695-0460, ext. 111.
