Member question below. All responses appreciated.

 

 

We have a waiver individual that is having issues with bed bugs in his home.  This has been an ongoing problem.  We believe the bugs are coming from one of their family members.  The house he lives in has been purchased by the State and is rented to him through a local non-profit agency.  The non-profit has treated the home in the past but has refused to continue to do so.  The individual is on an extremely limited income and cannot afford to treat the home, especially if the family member is going to continue to carry them in.  The County Board has said there is nothing that can be done except for the individual to pay for the extermination.  We are willing to pay for one round of extermination but we are not willing to do so as long as the family member is going to keep bringing them in the home.  How are other providers handling this type of situation?
