ODP is Asking for Your Assistance Disseminating the Attached Documents
Life Sharing is a service that has one of the highest rates of satisfaction aligning with an everyday life (Independent Monitoring for Quality [IM4Q]). ODP wants this service to continue to grow and wants to provide information to educate everyone about the Life Sharing service. The first step was to create promotional materials to assist with our goal. These documents were created with the assistance of Providers of Life Sharing, Administrative Entities, ODP, and feedback from Supports Coordinators. ODP wants to THANK everyone for their assistance with these documents. In the near future, webinars will also be provided on Life Sharing, and ODP will communicate with stakeholders when these dates are set.
What are These Documents?
There are two documents attached:
- The Life Sharing Brochure is intended for individuals and families with the hopes that Residential Providers that offer the Life Sharing service and Supports Coordination Organizations would print these out and disseminate at their headquarters as well as pass them out as appropriate. This document easily describes what Life Sharing is at a high level.
- This one-page document, "Information to Help Supports Coordinators Talk to Individuals and Families About Life Sharing" is intended for Supports Coordinators to use when having conversation with individuals and families. We hope Supports Coordinators will utilize this form at Individual Support Plan (ISP) meetings and on a more routine basis to help individuals and families to understand what the Life Sharing service is and to help them understand there are multiple options for residential services.
