Announcement from Assemblyman Palmesano re 6166
Dawn Kane, who was designated as the coordinator between Senator O’Mara and Assemblyman Palmesano and the Town of Middlesex and the concerned residents of Middlesex, has sent the following email to those most involved in the efforts regarding the Group Home at 6166 South Vine Valley Road:
He wanted to confirm the following facts:
There will be 6 consumers moving into the house and two will move in today.
There are no registered sex offenders.
The six individuals have had success living in the area, they are ambulatory and at least one is there on a voluntary basis and that they are suitable for this community. There is no other information regarding the classification, diagnosis or background of these six individuals except that they meet the criteria for the OPWDD and their histories and medical evaluations are protected under HIPAA.
Only until recently was there a decision made by the Office of Courtney Burke and that decision was based on all the information they received and after evaluating that information this is a decision that best suited the individual consumers.
Senators OMara, Alessi and Assemblyman P. had three personal meetings, have written two letters and have participated in several phone calls with Courtney Burke and all were a part of sharing the concerns of Middlesex residents in terms of sex offenders. They are open to possibly returning to the area in the future to update the community. Their goal was to make sure that Middlesex did not receive registered sex offenders and they attained the goal.
There may be something in writing from the office of Courtney Burke but that has not been decided at this time.
The Senator and Assemblyman are hopeful that, as in the past, the residents of Middlesex will embrace these new residents.
Thanks DK”
