Congratulations to our latest Employee Shoutout Spotlight, SSA Lita Caruso!

SSA Lead, Katie Yount, said:

"Lita has stepped up to provide SSA coverage to an individual who was admitted to the hospital and needed an immediate placement outside of his normal home. She is always more than willing to help out and to take on difficult tasks!"

Thank you, Lita, for going above and beyond for your team and those you serve!

Today marks the first day of Autism Acceptance Month, a time to celebrate neurodiversity, promote inclusion, and continue building communities where everyone belongs!

This spirit of acceptance was on full display in Morgan Township, OH, on March 21, as the Tonya Engel Memorial Playground was officially dedicated. Designed with accessibility at its core, this beautiful new space ensures children of all abilities can play side by side.

From inclusive equipment to thoughtful features that support sensory needs, this playground is more than a place to play; it’s a reminder of what true inclusion looks like!
