COF Training Services plans future after CMS ruling
COF Training Services Inc. may sell its 1516 Davis Road building but will not close. Ottawa based COF vows to stay in Coffey Osage and Franklin counties serving people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. CEO Christopher Patton says the organization has existed since 1968 and aims to remain part of the community for decades. The CMS Final Rule based on the ADA and Olmstead decision requires services to be provided in the most integrated setting, prompting the potential sale of the Davis Road facility. COF notes thousands of sheltered workshops nationwide face noncompliance but continues operations and community support.
