How to Get Started

A resource specialist is available to answer your questions. Call us at 440-205-8111 and ask for a resource specialist. You also may email screener@lccoa.org. If our resource specialists cannot fully address your concerns, a case manager will call you and arrange for an in-home visit. At the visit, the case manager will talk with you, and anyone you want present, about your current situation and how you are managing, including your health, safety, nutrition, finances, housing, daily activities and any other issues. You will then decide how you want to handle your concerns. Together, you and the case manager will develop a care plan, including information, benefits and programs, and services that you want from the LCCoA or other agencies. The case manager will help make necessary arrangements and will follow up with you as needed.
