The Department of Developmental Services (DDS) has issued a directive to Regional Centers that clients who have compromised immune systems or who are more susceptible to respiratory illness remain home instead of attending day services outside of the home. In addition, residents of adult residential care facilities for persons with special health care needs and intermediate care facilities for developmentally disabled with nursing or continuous nursing are to remain home instead of attending day services outside of the home.
Regional Centers are to pay vendors for absences because of COVID-19. (Regional Center Executive Directors Letter, March 12, 2020, extended to May 11, 2020.)
