Due to the ever-increasing threat of the COVID-19 virus, Access II is taking precautions to keep staff, consumers and the public safe.  Both Access II offices are closed to the public until 4-25-20. Team Members will be taking temperatures as they enter the building and logging them. We are doing our part to educate the community and assist in slowing down the spread of this virus. Access II’s staff will continue to be working to meet the needs that you may have in your homes.

Anyone needing assistance or just needing to talk because they have questions may call the office at 1-888-663-2423 or 1-660-663-2423.

This is definitely something we have never seen in our lifetime. However, we can conquer this together! Please practice kindness. Check on your neighbors, friends and family. Support one another with new ways of socializing from a distance via the internet or phone.

Here is current information on our programs:

In-Home Personal Care Services:

If you are receiving In-Home Services, Nursing, or Private Pay – Access II nurses and aides will continue to provide your In-Home services. Our personal care staff have been trained to take the virus very seriously and they are taking safety measures. They will not come into your home if they are running a temperature, been exposed to someone with the virus or flu, or they have flu-like symptoms. Likewise, please call and cancel your home visits if you are sick or running a temp. Staff will make weekly phone contact with you to assess your needs.

If you are receiving CDS (Consumer Directed Services):

It is up to you whether your attendant will continue to come into your home to provide your care. As the employer, you have the ability to make changes to your daily schedule so please communicate with your attendant regarding your situation. Your ILS Staff will make weekly phone contact with you to assess your needs.

Assistive Technology:

We are suspending our DME (Durable Medical Equipment Program) until the COVID-19 threat has subsided.
We are suspending our TAP program (Telecommunication Access Program) until the COVID-19 threat has subsided.

Independent Living Services:

All Independent Living Skills Classes are suspended at this time. Supported Employment Services will continue as determined by your Employer.
