Due to health concerns centered around the COVID-19 virus, Ozark Independent Living (OIL) staff members will be working from home beginning March 30 until further notice. While OIL’s office, located at 109 Aid Ave., will be closed to the public during this time, the Consumer Directed Services (CDS) program will continue uninterrupted for consumers and their attendants.
OIL Marketing Specialist Terry Hampton said, “Our business office will be closed, but we are making sure that facilitation of services for our CDS consumers will continue as usual. Doing that safely, and within guidelines being instituted for social distancing to help insure the health of everyone in the community, including our staff, is our main priority at this time.”
During the closure, no one will be available to immediately answer the phone in the office, but messages will be checked regularly, and calls will be returned as soon as possible. Attendants who need to drop off timesheets or anyone needing to leave any paperwork, can do so using the slot in the front door.
Call OIL, 256-8714, to leave a message. Visit “Ozark Independent Living” on Facebook for updates.
