Jerke, Chair 02/13/2008 Received by United Way Signature Date Time Cgs— United Way of Weld County Safety Net Initiative Narrative Information SECTION I: Program Narrative 1. How long has your agency been providing services in the community? The Weld County Area Agency on Aging (WAAA) is one of sixteen in the state under the Colorado Department of Human Services, Division of Aging and Adult Services. For over thirty years, the Weld County Area Agency on Aging has been a support system for Weld County residents 60 years of age and older and their caregivers. Our primary goal is to help maintain an individual's independence and dignity in their home and community. The WAAA supports services for seniors either through contracts with community agencies or by providing the service directly. These services include adult day care, case management, home delivered meals, legal assistance, nursing home and assisted living ombudsman services, peer counseling, rural senior centers, senior nutrition programs, Hispanic senior outreach, information and assistance. 2. What is your agency's mission? The Weld County Area Agency on Aging maintains the mission adopted by the Colorado Department of Human Services, Division of Aging and Adult Services to assist recipients to live safely with maximum personal independence by planning and promoting an effective, integrated, accessible delivery system under the Older Americans Act and Older Coloradan Fund. 3. Describe the program for which you are requesting funding: Since 1998, the Dental, Vision, and Hearing Program has provided financial assistance for the eligible sixty and older low income and at risk senior residents of Weld County who are in need of dental, vision, and/or hearing services. Applicants submit an application; after approval and the selection of a provider of their choice, authorization is sent to that provider. Once the services are complete, the provider will bill WAAA at which time it is paid up to a maximum allowable amount. If the recipient's need is complete and no other services are anticipated, any remaining funds are reallocated back into the program for other potential recipients. The recipient is responsible for any balance over the allotted amount and any service(s) rendered or paid for prior to approval are not covered. According to the Compass Weld County Assessment, affordable health care and the availability of affordable providers is a major concern for aging seniors with difficult choices due to costs. The Dental, Vision, and Hearing Program meets the United Way Safety Net initiative outcomes of providing services to vulnerable populations before a crises situation by providing aid to seniors experiencing difficulty accessing services. By 1 providing assistance prior to a crises situation, we are supporting recipients to assume responsibility of their own health by becoming self-sufficient and begin preventive care. The WAAA adheres to all of the Older American Act policies and regulations which include serving a target population of adults sixty years of age and older with special emphasis on those seniors who are in greatest economic and social need, low income, minority, frail and rural. Targeting specific populations lead to program limitations such as seniors who are denied assistance because of age or suggested income guidelines. Other limitations include the lack of funds to cover the full cost of the needed service. For example, currently the dental assistance can cover up to $600.00. However, this poses a dilemma for the recipient who may be in need of full upper and lower dentures which typically can cost between $1,200.00 and $2,200.00, thus requiring the client to pay $600.00 or more out of pocket. This can be true also for recipients in need of specialized lenses and frames or hearing aids. The WAAA has chosen to set such parameters in order to serve more requests. Because of dire community need, funds are exhausted prior to the fiscal cycle ending; therefore compelling WAAA to begin a waiting list for the start of the next fiscal cycle. In addition, due to funding limitations and wait list needs a policy has been set that recipients are only eligible every other year. Thanks to the partnerships with the North Colorado Medical Center Foundation and Platte Valley Medical Center, we have been able assist nearly 50% more individuals in Weld County. In addition, the program works closely with each of the providers for services for the recipients. Communication between WAAA and the provider comprises of the client's need, appointment dates, and billing inquiries to name a few. Often a relationship is built and as providers become more knowledgeable of the program, they frequently refer their own clients to WAAA knowing they are in need and may not have otherwise known of the assistance available, and on occasion will waive some costs if a particular client is extremely indigent. Referrals from other community agencies such as case managers, churches, adult protective services, Catholic Charities and other technicians remain the programs greatest resource. Because of the flexibility of the program, we are able to assist seniors in southern Weld County, for example, by working with providers in Thornton or Northglenn. The same can be said for western residents using services in Boulder County and northern residents in Larimer County to name a few. It is through this community effort of working together with our partners and providers that Weld County senior's benefit. The need in the community is evident based on the funding being exhausted prior to the end of the fiscal cycle; which in turn brings about the need for a waiting list. Along with the inability to serve everyone because of lack of funds, the U.S. Census Bureau statistics also suggest that society can anticipate a much greater need as the population increases. According to the Bureau, in 2006, the estimated percent of all individuals in Weld County below poverty level is 15.7% and persons 65 years and over below poverty level is 10.8% that is 3.7% and 2.5% above the state's average respectively. Also according to statistics, there were 32,985 individuals or 17.4% of Weld County residents that were uninsured in 2000. The older adult population of Colorado is projected to grow by 51% from 2000 to 2012 (NRC Inc. 2004). Weld County residents age 60 and over is estimated to grow by over 9,977 or nearly 74% between 2006 and 2012 (Colorado Department of 2 Local Affairs; http://www.dola.state.co.us 2007). In September 2004, the Colorado Department of Human Services, Division of Aging and Adult Services completed a Strengths and Needs Assessment of Older Adults in the state of Colorado. Based on the information obtained from the study, over 2,500 Weld County adults sixty or older stated that they needed but could not afford eyeglasses, hearing aids or dentures. As the population increases, the baby boomer segment continues to grow, and with programs such as Medicaid not covering these types of services, we anticipate the need for our program and others like it will also continue to expand. 4. Describe the staffing and management of the program: A designated staff person within WAAA manages the Dental, Vision, and Hearing Program. This staff holds a Bachelor of Science degree in both Gerontology and Community Health from the University of Northern Colorado. The staff has over eight years experience in managing programs, including but not limited to collecting and reporting data, budget oversight, and working with other staff and community partners. The program is not currently utilizing volunteers due to the nature of the program. The role of the staff in the Dental, Vision, and Hearing Program is to manage and market the program to the target audience and other organizations, partners, and/or businesses in order to encompass as wide a client base as possible. The WAAA director provides direct supervision of the position. 5. Please identify how your program is considered a "best practices"based on research you are following with your program or modeling it after The Weld County Area Agency on Aging continues to model under the federal government umbrella of the Administration on Aging (AoA). The AoA mission, as embodied in the Older American Act, is to help elderly individuals maintain their dignity and independence in their homes and communities through comprehensive, coordinated, and cost-effective systems of long-term care, and livable communities across the United States. As the aging of America creates new challenges and opportunities for our Nation's system of care for older adults, WAAA follows the best practices and consumer directed care approach set forth by AoA at a community level, to help strengthen and promote the dignity and independence of older people by promoting more support for community living; promoting consumer choice, control and independence; encouraging people to take positive steps to maintain their health; and assisting people while they are still healthy and able to plan ahead for their care. 3 SECTION II: Outcome and Evaluation Table Describe how the outcome(s) of the proposed project relate(s) to the Safety Net Initiative proposal guidelines. See also Outcome Evaluation Table Appendix A: As mentioned previously, this program is directly impacting the respondents that reported affordable healthcare as a moderate or major concern. An older adult's basic quality of life and overall health is negatively impacted if he or she is unable to simply eat, see and hear. These functions can have a ripple effect on a person's lifestyle by means of poor nutrition which may lead to weight loss and isolation in turn leading to a damaging effect on a chronic disease (currently, more than 80% of people 65 and older suffer from at least one chronic illness) or harmful interaction with medication. Then when the individual does seek medical attention, the devastating financial consequences on our nation's health system are threefold. As stated in Appendix A, if awarded, the funds will help an additional 50-70 Weld County seniors at the end of the two year project. It is the agency's belief that if our Dental, Vision, and Hearing Program can provide aid to those having difficulty accessing service at an early stage, it will decrease the number of seniors that have waited until a moment of crisis; thereby giving them control over their own preventive care with the expectation the senior will be more independent and self-sufficient. In addition, by administering a Client Satisfaction Survey, the Dental, Vision, and Hearing Program will be able to identify problem areas and adjust to the client's needs. In doing so, the program's improved efficiency will in turn create opportunity for them to achieve better outcomes by being more accountable for their own health and preventive care. 4 ± / t• % e % _ \ / \ < tCt /\ / r \ 6o - - ° cmo § o e § « 2 $ � a ±co 7 § 3k ® o8a = e@ \ # ) 2 , 5 ] § § / m3@I , = cc E / / § 7a < $ / } ] // \ \ c Co3w E § / 2 24, 2 ° / » � $ as * k * k \ ao � S \ ±o ±o CoLa 2 o 7 $ 2- co CO f ° { 5 ` 5 ° / % w 5 <0 ( { \ # / 7 % 2 { f \ @7 \ z E E% ; ` < ' 0- 0 ° 02E ` � 0 « g = aao » 02 $ ® § g-E \y \ @ey x ® 2 Ea08 § « / � � ® � o ° °» ® g >< < 0 of \ t wEm / 2 ] + 23 § $ 85 0_ � } � _ 14 1141 LU \ � E C 20 E � Ie ± ) _ \ t o ock & = a \ ••szfci me g 0, k \ � 22 t2 / 0 O § R /\ � e � o a 0 ) \ GI6LO U) / \ 0 Ca = 7 \ b - Co o 0 -a 20 g .2 ) \7 \ % ± � 2 ( t � G z » EEs ® 2 ] bfc@ \ § \/7co E% $ (t •0 § \ ® E§ \ 7 / \ ] @f a2 : o ! c \ oh 6a /2 « moc c2 gi o n = 3a) 7 ° Eoow ° ® § n- - ® I = ® = a % O R / /» / mow :5 2 @ = ° ; E = 2222Ea 2 , = = o , . a _ = '- E = Z ' = 02 Ev 22 ± \5 � c El 0w0vo ) § J= dm ® � � 2G2§ $ E = a § = = 2 , = moo = 0 = l3 % $ & & aa , 2 \ c } c \ � E \ � E ° 5f@ To 7 { 2 [ 77 / ± } _ , � 000- rtv. . SECTION III: Budget Information Budget Narrative: In an effort to meet the growing needs of seniors, Weld County Area Agency on Aging is requesting United Way of Weld County to fund $20,000 over the course of two years. With an award from United Way, our goal would be to assist approximately 25-35 recipients with $10,000 the first and second year respectively through June 2010. Due to the inability to predict which service seniors will need and the inflation of various dental, vision, and hearing costs, an exact number cannot be calculated. All funds received from United Way will be used for direct services for seniors; there will be no administrative costs. For example, all funds would directly pay for frames, lenses, cleanings, extractions, dentures, hearing aids, etc. All expenses, including personnel, supplies and travel will be covered by monies received through the Older Coloradan Fund. During this current fiscal year 2007-2008 the Dental, Vision, and Hearing Program receives the majority of its funding from the Older Coloradan Fund. The Platte Valley Medical Center in Brighton, Colorado through their Community Health Investment Program (CHIP) provides 20% of funding and 8% is provided from the North Colorado Medical Center Foundation in Greeley, Colorado. In the event funding from United Way, CHIP, and/or NCMC Foundation is not granted to the full amount, the Dental, Vision, and Hearing Program will still be offered to Weld County residents under the Older Coloradan fund. However, the program may be forced to decrease the amount of funds awarded to recipients (i.e., $600.00 for dental assistance may be decreased to $450.00 per client) and the number of seniors receiving help will be drastically reduced. We fear the impact that would occur on the older citizens of the community would be detrimental. 1. These funds will be used to continue and/or expand services provided for Weld County seniors. Per notification of the CHIP Committee and North Colorado Medical Center Foundation, due to their budgetary restraints these funds may not be available on a continuous basis or at a significantly reduced amount. If the full amount of funding is received from aforementioned partners, the impact on the number of Weld County seniors benefiting from the program will increase. 2. Since the program is set up to provide direct services only, there would be no other portions of the program that could be funded fully as a substitute. If United Way cannot meet the full request of funds, then the number of seniors WAAA could assist would decrease. As mentioned previously, an exact number that would be affected cannot be calculated due to the inability to predict which service seniors will need and the rise or fall of various dental, vision, and hearing costs. We could assume that those older adults not able to receive assistance may experience more isolation caused by the inability to hear and communicate with others, their driving could be compromised by poor vision and their nutritional status may decline if they are unable to properly chew food. 6 3. During the 2006-2007 fiscal year, the Dental, Vision, and Hearing Program was able to commit up to $600.00 for dental services and $350.00 for vision and hearing services respectively. The average cost per client was $400.00 for fiscal year 2006-2007 from state funding. This is calculated by dividing the total service dollars by the number of clients served. 4. As a governmental agency, WAAA is well established and has received steady funding from the Older Coloradan Fund on a yearly basis, as well as a successful history with other foundations and grants. Because of state regulations, the funds received for the Dental, Vision, and Hearing Program from the Older Coloradan Fund are not permitted to be carried over from one year to the next; therefore there are no state reserves. Federal monies from the Older Americans Act may be carried over from one year to the next within a limited time frame. For the last two years the Older Coloradan Fund has increased and the program remains successful in finding smaller grants to support additional direct services for seniors. 5. Various dental, vision, and hearing providers throughout northern Colorado remain our best in-kind contributors. Often these providers will grant discounted services or waive balances not covered by the program. In doing so, this donation deters the occasional client from requesting additional assistance and therefore allowing more funds to be available to more recipients. 6. Weld County Government follows generally accepted accounting principles and has an annual outside independent audit. This audit is conducted in accordance with the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards. 7 Safety Net Initiative Project Budget Year 1 Applicant: Weld County Area Agency on Aging Project: Dental, Vision, and Hearing Program Total Amount Other Funding Requested from BUDGET EXPENDITURES: Required for In-kind/Cash Match United Way of Project Specific Status Weld County PERSONNEL EXPENSES: Older Staff and Director time $18,011.25 Coloradan Received $ 0.00 Fund SUPPLY EXPENSES: Postage $125.00 Older Brochures $215.00 $555.00 Coloradan Received $ 0.00 Paper, envelopes, folders $215.00 Fund OPERATING EXPENSES: Direct program expense: client services such as exams, frames, United lenses, hearing aid, dental $10,000.00 Way Applying $10,000.00 extractions, cleanings, partials, Safety Net upper/lower dentures, etc. Direct program expense: client services such as exams, frames, Older lenses, hearing aid, dental $35,000.00 Coloradan Received $ 0.00 extractions, cleanings, partials, Fund upper/lower dentures, etc. Direct program expense: client services such as exams, frames, lenses, hearing aid, dental $10,000.00 CHIP Will Apply $ 0.00 extractions, cleanings, partials, upper/lower dentures, etc. Direct program expense: client services such as exams, frames, NCMC lenses, hearing aid, dental $10,000.00 Foundation Will Apply $ 0.00 extractions, cleanings, partials, upper/lower dentures, etc. TRAVEL EXPENSES: Older 65 miles x 12 months x $.485 $378.30 Coloradan Received $ 0.00 Fund EQUIPMENT EXPENSES: Older n/a $ 0.00 Coloradan Received $ 0.00 Fund TOTAL PROJECT COSTS: $83,944.55 $10,000.00 8 Safety Net Initiative Project Budget Year 2 Applicant: Weld County Area Agency on Aging Project: Dental, Vision, and Hearing Program Total Amount Other Funding Requested from BUDGET EXPENDITURES: Required for In-kind/Cash Match United Way of Project Specific Status Weld County PERSONNEL EXPENSES: Older Staff and Director time $18,705.52 Coloradan Received $ 0.00 Fund SUPPLY EXPENSES: Postage $175.00 Older Brochures $285.00 $745.00 Coloradan Received $ 0.00 Paper, envelopes, folders $285.00 Fund OPERATING EXPENSES: Direct program expense: client services such as exams, frames, United lenses, hearing aid, dental $10,000.00 Way Applying $10,000.00 extractions, cleanings, partials, Safety Net upper/lower dentures, etc. Direct program expense: client services such as exams, frames, Older lenses, hearing aid, dental $35,000.00 Coloradan Received $ 0.00 extractions, cleanings, partials, Fund upper/lower dentures, etc. Direct program expense: client services such as exams, frames, lenses, hearing aid, dental $10,000.00 CHIP Will Apply $ 0.00 extractions, cleanings, partials, upper/lower dentures, etc. Direct program expense: client services such as exams, frames, NCMC lenses, hearing aid, dental $10,000.00 Foundation Will Apply $ 0.00 extractions, cleanings, partials, upper/lower dentures, etc. TRAVEL EXPENSES: Older 65 miles x 12 months x $.535 $417.30 Coloradan Received $ 0.00 Fund EQUIPMENT EXPENSES: Older n/a $ 0.00 Coloradan Received $ 0.00 Fund TOTAL PROJECT COSTS: $84,867.82 $10,000.00 9 Safety Net Initiative Cumulative Project Budget Applicant: Weld County Area Agency on Aging Project: Dental, Vision, and Hearing Program Total Amount Other Funding Requested from BUDGET EXPENDITURES: Required for In-kind/Cash Match United Way of Project Specific Status Weld County PERSONNEL EXPENSES: Older Staff and Director time $36,716.76 Coloradan Received $ 0.00 Fund SUPPLY EXPENSES: Postage $300.00 Older Brochures $500.00 $1,300.00 Coloradan Received $ 0.00 Paper, envelopes, folders $500.00 Fund OPERATING EXPENSES: Direct program expense: client services such as exams, frames, United lenses, hearing aid, dental $20,000.00 Way Applying $20,000.00 extractions, cleanings, partials, Safety Net upper/lower dentures, etc. Direct program expense: client services such as exams, frames, Older lenses, hearing aid, dental $70,000.00 Coloradan Received $ 0.00 extractions, cleanings, partials, Fund upper/lower dentures, etc. Direct program expense: client services such as exams, frames, lenses, hearing aid, dental $20,000.00 CHIP Will Apply $ 0.00 extractions, cleanings, partials, upper/lower dentures, etc. Direct program expense: client services such as exams, frames, NCMC lenses, hearing aid, dental $20,000.00 Foundation Will Apply $ 0.00 extractions, cleanings, partials, upper/lower dentures, etc. TRAVEL EXPENSES: See detail in Budget Year 1 and Older Budget Year 2 $795.60 Coloradan Received $ 0.00 Fund EQUIPMENT EXPENSES: Older n/a $ 0.00 Coloradan Received $ 0.00 Fund TOTAL PROJECT COSTS: $168,812.37 $20,000.00 10 SECTION IV: Supporting Documentation ✓ Copy of most recent Audit.
