Transportation
Transportation is made available to eligible individuals to and from Vinton Industries and the
community work sites. Additionally, a VCATS system is available to participants and other
members of the community who need transportation to services outside of Vinton County.
Family Support Services
Through money provided by the Ohio Department of Mental Retardation and Developmental
Disabilities, income eligible individuals and members of their families can access funds for
adaptive home improvements or to purchase needed items that promote an independent lifestyle.
Supported Living
Limited funds are available to individuals who need additional residential support and who are
not eligible for a Medicaid Waiver. Money can be used to pay a Service Provider to assist with
training in the development of personal and independent living skills. The amount of money
provided is based on the individual and the level of support needed to promote independence
and ensure all health and safety needs.
Medicaid Waivers
Through an agreement with the Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services and the Ohio
Department of MR/DD, Medicaid funds are available to qualifying individuals. Each participant
must have a level of care that requires a support system for them to successfully live in the
community. Individuals can then select a Service Provider and with the support of team
members, determine their personal needs and necessary level of support.
