Options for Tomorrow
The goal of the Options for Tomorrow Project is to facilitate the development of future care plans for adults with disabilities by providing resources and services that empower families and care partners. This project is a partnership among the Lucas County Board of Developmental Disabilities(LCBDD), The Ability Center of Greater Toledo and the Center for Successful Aging at the University of Toledo.
The Options for Tomorrow Care Plan helps families avoid having to react in a crisis by planning early and make informed decisions that are the consensus of all members involved. In the event a caregiver dies or is no longer able to provide care, a plan is essential in guiding others to consistently meet the needs of the disabled person in the following key area:
|
We are currently accepting new families who have an adult child with disabilities. There is no charge for the program at this
time, but donations are accepted. Initial contact will be made by telephone and an office visit will be conducted with the
planning specialist to clarify background information and specific client needs.
If the caregiver agrees to proceed, an individualized care plan will be developed, delivered, and reviewed. It is our intention
to collaborate with existing services and to provide lists of resources for needed service providers. Since the care plan
is a continual process and a legacy of love, the planning specialist will follow-up every 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months.
