News & Information

COVID-19 Update from Scott DeLong, President/CEO

7/24/2020

Comments

 
Hello everyone,
I would like to take a moment to thank you for the extra effort being put forth due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The health, safety, and well being of you and our individuals are of the utmost concern to us.
 
Because the pandemic is ever-changing, our policies must be updated and changed to reflect current laws, regulations, and guidance. CRSI has been working in conjunction with State and local experts to develop the following list of precautions that are required across all CRSI locations. This message is to serve as a reminder of what we should already be doing as well as to clarify some questions we have been receiving.

  • Facial Coverings –
    • We already require all employees to wear masks or other face coverings while at work.
    • A new order from Governor DeWine and the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) was enacted this week makes it mandatory for the entire state. You can view the ODH order in its entirety here.
    • The only exception to this rule is if you can isolate yourself in a room separate from other coworkers and the individuals we serve.
    • This means that some sort of covering must be worn when transporting individuals, working with individuals, and while in common areas of our homes and offices.
  • Social Distancing –
    • We already require that in-person meetings be replaced with virtual options. If you need assistance with hosting a virtual meeting, please reach out to our Tech Support Team and they can provide you with your options.
    • We should not be congregating in shared spaces such as break rooms, smoking areas, or other’s offices.
  • Travel Quarantine –
    • Following an outbreak at an Ohio long-term care facility in which more than two dozen residents and staff tested positive for COVID-19, Governor DeWine continued to encourage Ohioans to self-quarantine for 14-days after traveling to high-risk areas. The updated list of the high-risk states can be found here.
    • At CRSI, we are taking this a step further and requiring any staff who travel to a high-risk area to self-quarantine for 14-days. This also applies if someone in your household travels to a high-risk area and you are unable to isolate from them.
    • If you will be traveling out of state, you are required to report the location and date(s) to your supervisor. They will communicate this to the CRSI Human Resources department. The details of your self-quarantine will be handled on a case-by-case basis.
  • Cleaning and Sanitization –
    • We already require that all high-touch surfaces be cleaned and sanitized multiple times a day.
    • Do not let up on this. We need to continue the practice to help keep the virus out of our settings.
 
Thank you again for your continued efforts. 

Scott DeLong, President/CEO

2020 BBCO Golf Tournament Replaced with Day of Giving on Aug. 19th

7/1/2020

Comments

 
To our valued supporters:
 
Nearly four decades ago, Bill Butler’s vision to support individuals with disabilities led to the first Annual Bill Butler Champaign Open. With your overwhelming dedication to our mission, we’ve raised over a half-million dollars to support the individuals we serve with basic necessities not covered under current funding and without you that wouldn't be possible!

After much deliberation, we have decided that we cannot continue with the Bill Butler Champaign Open as planned on August 19, 2020. The needs and safety of people are the foundations on which we have built our mission and core values around, and in this unprecedented time, we feel it best to honor those we serve.
​Instead, we will be hosting a Day of Giving on the same date (Aug. 19th). Our goal has not changed, and with your help, we know we can continue to make this day a success and ensure the needs of those we serve are met.
 
Please consider joining us in this mission! This is an unprecedented opportunity to continue moving forward during these unprecedented times with a unique way to give back.
 
We thank you for your continued support and we look forward to seeing you in 2021 for the next Bill Butler Champaign Open.
 
Be safe and be well!!
 
Sincerely,
 
CRSI Management
CRSI Board of Trustees
And the BBCO Committee

A Message from CRSI President Scott DeLong

4/8/2020

Comments

 
Hi everyone, I am Scott Delong, the President of CRSI, and I just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude.
 
First and foremost, thank you to our outstanding team members. The CRSI team is continuing to work hard on the front lines, helping those we serve adapt to all the changes that have recently taken place and helping protect them during this pandemic.

Team, you are the heart and soul of what we do. Your hard work and dedication means the world to the people you care for and to their families. 
 
I would also like to express our gratitude for the generous support and donations throughout our communities for items we so desperately need. From masks to hand sanitizer and wipes, everything we need to stay safe, we can't thank you enough!
 
Also, to the Boards of Developmental Disabilities in the counties we serve, we cannot thank you enough for continuing to spread great information and resources to our teams. 
 
We are all in this together and we are proud to be a part of so many amazing communities!

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Statement & Resources

3/14/2020

Comments

 
CRSI Staff, Partners & Community Members,
 
We have been monitoring the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic closely, and today I would like to update you regarding our actions. First, I would like to personally assure you our top priority is the health, safety and well-being of the individuals we serve, as well as our employees, families and neighbors. I would also like to assure you we will maintain the highest level of service to each resident we serve.
 
Per the orders from the Governor's office, no visitors will be permitted at our ICFs (Intermediate Care Facilities) in order to minimize the spread of the virus within our facilities. Please be patient and understand that things will be subject to change quickly as we continue to receive updates and directives. We realize this rapidly evolving situation is creating unique hardships for all of us; however, it is our responsibility to minimize the long-term impact and implications to those we serve. Based on current information, our population is one of the most vulnerable, and we would like to minimize their risk to the best of our ability. 
 
At this time, we have asked our employees to stay home if they are showing any signs or symptoms of illness OR have been in close contact with an individual that has tested positive for COVID-19. We have limited our in-person meetings and are using video conferencing and conference calls whenever possible.

To further minimize the risks to the individuals we serve we are implementing the following precautions:
  • No employees are permitted to receive visitors at/in work or service locations.
  • Community experiences should be limited to those essential for employment, health, welfare, and emergent situations. NOTE: Special caution should be taken for community experiences that involve contact with large groups of people per the Governor’s direction.
  • Medical appointments may be completed for essential medical reasons only. Routine appointments may be rescheduled until after extra precautions are not considered emergent and necessary.
  • All tours, provider interviews, and intakes have been postponed.
  • All locations will clean their work areas and location surfaces at least once per day with disinfectant including all doorknobs, door openers, light switches, etc. Avoid touching surfaces when possible. 
 
Thank you for your continued dedication and support. 
 
Scott DeLong
President

A celebration to honor Than Johnson, retiring from CRSI after 36 years, will be held from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 10, at CRSI (building in the back), 1150 Scioto St., Urbana.

Scott DeLong, the staff and board of CRSI are hosting the reception and invite the public to join them in celebrating his career and wishing him well on his retirement.

Johnson is a life-long resident of Champaign County. The Johnson Family Maple Syrup farm still is active after over 200 years of operation.

Johnson and his wife Kathy have three sons and five grandsons. He is a graduate of Wilmington College with graduate studies at Miami University.

He started his career as a teacher and coach. His immersion into the field of developmental disabilities started in the 1970s as supervisor and houseparent of the Preble County Board of DD residential program.

In 1976 he served as one of the founders of CRSI, an honor he holds today as the last surviving trustee of the original CRSI Board of Trustees.
