RFP Number: 0349
DESCRIPTION of NEEDED SERVICES: The individual is a 15 year- old female who lives in Mentor-on-the-Lake with her family. She is diagnosed with spastic quadriplegia cerebral palsy. She relies on a manual wheelchair and the assistance of others for all mobility related tasks. Currently her parents carry and transfer her to a Rifton bath chair in the bathtub to bathe her and then have to transfer her out of the bathroom by carrying her. This is unsafe for the individual and her parents. There is another bathroom that she could access in a wheeled shower chair but it needs modified as it currently has a shower stall and a sunken bathtub. A PT assessment recommends a walk in shower that would accommodate a wheeled shower chair.
FUNDING SOURCE: Level One Waiver
