What This Means for Individuals and Families

Individuals and families should expect continuity in the care and support they receive.

There are no planned changes to:

Service providers, care teams, or staffing
Program locations
Residential homes
Clinics or schools
Daily supports
Service levels

Our goal is to strengthen and improve services over time - not reduce them.

Simply put: we believe we can accomplish more together than we could separately.
