Was there any changes regarding social workers? Specifically I’m asking if there were any changes with long-term care and social workers. I know the federal regulation for the amount of Social Workers per nursing home is 1 / 120 residents (which is actually a shocking ratio it should be 4 social workers per 120 residents). I’m wondering if this federal regulation impacts that at all. Thank you.
I don’t know exactly why some get HCBS and others do not but without it I cannot pay for wheelchair repairs, suppositories, and relief of the pain my broke body has had for 22 years. I’ve waited almost 3 years for help and it’s finally here but I cannot afford $40 a month more but I will try keeping my head up.So just please if I have any chance at all HCBS will help more than a lot hoping you try to understand not getting help can hurt very mentally
Thank You

On July 5 2016 Ohio Dept of Medicaid Bureau of Long Term Care had Carestar (the case management company they contract with) remove my daughter’s HCBS Waiver nurse that my daughter had for 9 1/2 year. The reason they gave for the removal of the nurse was the nurse co-owned the property with her husband that we live in. We have a legally enforceable lease and are on section 8 voucher. A settings evaluation was never done , our free choice of provider was violated, and I was told by Care star we did not have rights to a state hearing for the nurses removal which also violates cms rules.
