Echoing Hills Village Inc. began back in 1966 and runs as a public, nonprofit organization with its headquarters in Warsaw, Ohio, on County Road 79, where folks find it listed as a 501(c)(3) with EIN 31-0735747, and over the years, it's grown to include a total of 9 locations, each offering different services to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The staff count reaches 515, with 110 working on site, and many programs focus on providing residential care, skilled nursing, home care, memory care, independent living, and assisted living, showing that they've got a little bit of everything for people who need varying degrees of support. Family members sometimes like knowing there are 25 beds at their intermediate care facility in rural Coshocton County, where folks get non-ambulatory care, diabetic care, and incontinence care, plus access to medical, health, transportation, and financial support.
Camp Echoing Hills, set up as a summer camp for people with disabilities, has rentals, a travel program, respite stays, and applications for camp staff if anyone's interested in working there, and it isn't just about activities since they do have devotional programs, both on and off site, so that people can take part if they want to. Echoing Hills also puts a lot of care into their indoor and outdoor common spaces, making sure everyone has a safe place to spend time, whether it's in meals, dining, group activities, or just meeting with friends, and that helps make a real community feeling for those who stay or live there. Education gets attention through the EchoingU program, which runs in Northern Ohio, Northeast Ohio, and Southwest Ohio, while adults who need services beyond school can sign up with Echoing Connections, which covers Central, Northeast, Southeast, and Southwest Ohio.
Application forms are easy to find for things like camps, respite stays, renting a room, volunteering, or even applying for scholarships, and there's a photo gallery that shows what life looks like in these residential homes, which aim to be safe, loving, and dignified for anybody moving in. Echoing Hills Village puts strong value on dignity, choice, and personal fulfillment, focusing on serving people with disabilities with a motto about love, learning, worship, and celebrating life, and, while they run as a Christian organization, they seem to focus on providing a welcoming spot for pretty much everyone, from families who just need grown-up day programs to people wanting long-term support. The organization makes an effort to stay connected with people by posting regular updates on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, and their materials include simple facts about their work and mission. Staff roles cover everything from nursing support and regulatory policy to running activities, transportation, and keeping up with facility needs in each region. Over the years, Echoing Hills Village Inc. has become a resource for families looking for help with care, education, recreation, and a way for folks with disabilities to be involved in a safe and caring way.
