Klamath County's major disability services provider to leave state

The Mentor Network, a Massachusetts-based corporation that administers a large portion of the group homes and care facilities for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Klamath County, is slated to cut off services in Oregon later this summer.

In a June 7 letter, Lilia Teninty, director at the Oregon Office of Developmental Disabilities Services at the Department of Human Services, informed stakeholders that the company would pull out of Oregon by August 31. Mentor provides services to more than 1,300 Oregonians across the state.
