| Abstract | Kentucky has been focused upon improving outcomes for individuals receiving Supports for Community Living (SCL) Waiver services. SCL is the state's residential Medicaid developmental disabilities waiver; the SCL waiver provides a broad array of services for waiver recipients (residential, supported employment, transportation, community access, etc.). As a part of that focus on improved outcomes, HDI has worked with the KY Division of Developmental and Intellectual Disabilities to create a Quality Improvement Committee to address the life areas in which Kentucky is falling short, including health and wellness, for SCL waiver recipients. As part of this effort, in early Spring 2013, the authors collaborated with the KY Division of Developmental and Intellectual Disabilities to conduct a statewide survey of agencies providing services to individuals on the SCL waiver. They were interested in three basic questions: (1) To what extent were agencies offering health and wellness initiatives for the individuals they serve, as well as similar initiatives for their direct support staff? (2) What are the perceived barriers to putting health and wellness programs into place? (3) Could innovative strategies/promising practices that agencies are currently using be identified? The findings are discussed herein. (ERIC). |
