On July 29, 2020, Options of Linn County welcomed back the first group of clients since services were suspended by the Governor due to COVID-19. We started with 12 clients and have slowly been adding more back while maintaining appropriate and safe social distancing. We are working closely with Linn County Public Health and Linn County Risk Management to implement procedures to limit the potential for exposure. We will continue to monitor COVID-19 information as it changes and adjust our services as needed. The safety of the people we serve will always be our primary concern.
Please see the letter from Options Director, Jim Fox (PDF) for more details. Clients, families, providers and all stakeholders are encouraged to call or email us with questions or concerns.
We appreciate your patience during this unprecedented time.
