SUPPORT: Elimination of Service Facilitators
 

Support Removing an additional link in already overly-complicated 

model of service provision and delivery. With 3 severely disabled 

children by choice as an adoptive Mom, I do a lot of work ‘for’ and 

spend a lot of time with Service Facilitators when I could be 

providing care instead. Monthly meetings are not too long, but 

3 different ones for kids with different waivers/varied ages plus 

annual long visits, then VIDES/ISPs, occasional SIS, Healthcare Firm

Case Management and etc. I do FAR more Paperwork and Administration even

WITH service facilitation that is is brutal and downright nearly abusive. 

To someone else’s comment with cuts to service delivery hours even though 

though I’m ALWAYS ‘On Call’ 24-7, is Virginia prepared to pay the price and provide the 

care requirements and needs when there is a mass ‘revolt’ by people who just 

Can’t take on anymore? The children QUALIFY for Long-Term Care, which is NOT

limited to 56/hrs. week. 

Thank You for the opportunity to share stark reality.
