In Medina County, our community generously supports funding of services and supports for adults and children with disabilities through a tax levy. We offer the following programs to help financially support individuals with developmental disabilities so they have the best opportunities to succeed.

Our Service and Support Administration (SSA) staff will help you identify what resources may be available and guide and connect you to your options. Step one is always to become eligible for MCBDD services.

This program provides campership funding for children and adults with developmental disabilities to use to attend the summer camp of their choice.

Medicaid Waivers

Many services are funded through Medicaid Waivers. A waiver helps pay for services to keep you in your home, or a home in the community, so you do not have to move to a long-term care facility or nursing home. When Medicaid Waiver funding is available, MCBDD pays for approximately 40% of the cost of service and the other 60% is paid for by federal Medicaid funds. Some of the services paid for by a waiver include: personal care, respite, transportation, social work, nutrition, adult day services, accessibility adaptations, supported employment and medical equipment.

Because eligibility for MCBDD services and/or Medicaid are determined differently, you will not necessarily receive a waiver. Waivers are provided based on priorities set by the State of Ohio, the availability of funds and a formal assessment of needs.

Waiver Waiting Lists

All County Board of Developmental Disabilities create waiting lists when there are not enough resources to meet the needs of everyone requesting services. If you ask for a service that has a waiting list, we will document your request along with the date and time, and place your name on a waiting list.

Waiting List Information

For questions about Medicaid Waivers or waiting lists, contact the Service and Support Administration (SSA) at 330-725-7751; option 2 or ssainfo@mcbdd.org.
