Ohio Revised Code Title XXXVII. Health Safety Morals § 3721.012

A residential care facility may enter into a risk agreement with a resident or the resident's sponsor. Under a risk agreement, the resident or sponsor and the facility agree to share responsibility for making and implementing decisions affecting the scope and quantity of services provided by the facility to the resident. The facility also agrees to identify the risks inherent in a decision made by a resident or sponsor not to receive a service provided by the facility. A risk agreement is valid only if it is made in writing.
