Recently, there have been statements shared publicly regarding our agency. While we understand that emotions can run high in difficult situations, we are not able to discuss any specific client or staffing matter due to strict privacy and confidentiality requirements.

We do not terminate caregivers without cause. When concerns arise related to caregiver conduct, compliance with agency policies, or the safety and quality of care being provided, we are required to take appropriate action.

Our team also regularly supports families beyond direct care, including assisting with coordination, documentation, and appeals when appropriate. That work is part of how we help clients navigate complex care systems.

Care needs and circumstances can change over time. When that occurs, we are required to evaluate whether we can continue to safely provide services within our licensed scope. If we are not able to safely meet a client’s needs, we initiate a structured transition process to help connect them with appropriate care options.

When there is a concern that an individual may be left without supervision or support, we are required to take immediate steps to ensure safety.

These decisions are never made lightly. They are guided by safety, compliance, and our responsibility to provide appropriate and ethical care.

🌿 𝐓𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐈𝐬 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞, 𝐇𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐬! 🌿

As the weather warms up, ticks are becoming active across Indiana — and they'll stay that way through late fall. Whether you're gardening, hiking, or just enjoying the backyard, a few simple steps can protect you and your loved ones from tick-borne illnesses like Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, ehrlichiosis, alpha-gal syndrome, and the newly identified Heartland virus.

✅ 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐬:
Stick to the center of trails and avoid tall grass or brushy areas
Treat clothing and gear (NOT skin) with 0.5% permethrin
Use EPA-registered repellents containing DEET, picaridin, IR3535, or oil of lemon eucalyptus
Talk to your vet about tick prevention for your pets.

✅ 𝐀𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐝𝐨𝐨𝐫𝐬:
Check your skin, clothing, gear, and pets for ticks
Shower soon after coming inside.
Tumble clothes in the dryer on high heat for 30 minutes to kill any hitchhikers.

✅ 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐚 𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐤?
Use tweezers to grasp it close to the skin and pull straight out with steady pressure. Wash the area thoroughly. Never crush a tick with your fingernails.
If you develop a fever, fatigue, headache, or rash after a tick bite, see your healthcare provider right away and let them know about the exposure. Early diagnosis makes a big difference. 💙

The program is designed to be inclusive, affordable, and accessible for families and caregivers supporting children with disabilities or differences.

Participation in one virtual caregiver focus group (approximately 1 hour)

Optional participation in one individual evaluation session (up to 1 hour), which may take place before, during, or after the program

Caregiver feedback will be used to inform the development of caregiver-focused materials and support resources.

🚨 Important: Watch Out for Tax Scams This Season 🚨
Tax season is around the corner—and unfortunately, it’s a busy time for scammers too. Criminals often try to trick people into sharing personal or financial information, which can lead to identity theft, false tax filings, and stolen refunds.
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and Security Summit partners urge taxpayers, businesses, and tax professionals to stay alert for these common scams:

Social Media Scams
Bad tax advice online can mislead people about credits or refunds. Some posts encourage lying on tax forms or claim the IRS is hiding “secret” credits—often leading straight to scammers.

Phishing & Smishing
Fake emails and text messages posing as the IRS may ask for money or personal information. Clicking links or attachments can also infect your device.

Scams Targeting Seniors
Adults 65+ are frequently targeted for money or sensitive information. Scammers may pressure seniors to withdraw retirement funds—impacting both finances and taxes.

Business & Tax Professional Threats
Tax professionals must maintain a Written Information Security Plan and use multi-factor authentication. Businesses should update cybersecurity protections and stay vigilant against attacks.

Identity Protection PIN (IP PIN)
An IP PIN is a 6-digit number that prevents someone else from filing a tax return using your SSN or ITIN. Anyone eligible—including those living abroad—can request one as a proactive step against identity theft.

When in doubt, pause. The IRS does not contact taxpayers by text, social media, or email demanding immediate payment.

Stay informed. Stay protected. Share this to help others avoid tax scams.
