Summary Narrative - State General Fund
Weld County - July 1, 2000 -June 30, 2001
The Weld County Area Agency on Aging has utilized its Four Year Plan and Annual Plan which
was based on comprehensive grassroots needs assessment conducted in FY 1998. This planning
process provided the foundation for the areas of emphasis for the expenditure of the new slate
general fund monies. The broad areas of respite care, ombudsman services, congregate nutrition,
combating isolation and loneliness. and health care are addressed as follows:
A. Dental Care: Of 360 needs assessment respondents, 7.2% reported difficulty in procuring
dental care. The most common barrier was cost. Contrasted against the fact that 4(,. i% of
these respondents reported incomes of$15,000 or less and that twice as many Hispanic
elders had health care needs -the Area Agency on Aging will allocate $25,000 for a
dental program. This program will work in concert with the OAP Dental program in that
we will coordinate with the Department of Social Services to assist those low-income 60
plus seniors who do not qualify for the OAP Program or who have dental needs not
covered by OAP. We will also work with local dentists to obtain reduced rates and
Friends of Man for matching monies as well as contributions from the client to mace
these funds go as far as possible. We expect to serve about 30 persons at 150 hour v for
$25,000.
B. Respite Care: Respite care continues to be a concern in Weld County. The needs
assessment determined that 8.3% of the respondents indicated being the main helper for
someone who needs assistance with everyday activities. We propose to fund respite
services at $15,000 with these funds being utilized for minimum in-home respite. We
propose to work through two existing providers to deliver this service - Eldergarden
Adult Day, Inc. and RVNA Home Health Care. We believe we can purchase 1,500 hours
of in-home respite for $15,000.
C. Congregate Meals: After 25 years of service, we still have communities in Weld County
that do not have a congregate meals program. We propose to open two meal sites, one in
Grover, CO which is close to the Nebraska and Wyoming border. This small rural
community has few formal services. (Meals have already begun delivering to 25
participants one day per week.) The second site is projected for Fort Lupton which is at
the far south end of Weld County. These meals will be delivered in conjunction with the
opening of a new community/senior center in November. An additional fund has been set
aside for one other community to open a site or for an existing community to increase
from to two days per week. Total new meals at 7,592 to approximately 160 new
participants for $21,030.
D. Senior Center Operations: Weld County has four small senior centers in Nunn, Pierce,
Lochbuie, and at Hill N Park who have populations of less than 2,500 and are all at risk
of having to close. The seniors themselves are the primary source of funding for these
centers and as they become older and more frail it is becoming quite a hardship on them
to keep these centers operational. If these centers close we would not have locations to
provide the congregate meal program or other services such as the monthly public health
nurse visits. We propose to assist these centers with their annual operating costs at no
more than$3,000 each per year. This small amount of assistance will allow the senior
participants to project their time and energies to other issues such as fund raising for
capital development projects, equipment purchases, and development of programm mg.
Four senior centers at approximately$3,000 each or $12,000.
E. Loneliness and isolation: Loneliness was registered as one of the major issues for seniors
according the needs survey. Nearly 22% of the respondents agreed that they often reel
lonely. Rural outreach pilot grants will be made available on a competitive basis it
conjunction with a "Senior Summit" that will be held on October 4, 2000. This "summit"
will focus on loneliness and feature model programs and ideas used in other communities
to address this problem among seniors. We propose to set aside $20,000 for this purpose.
Grants could range from $500 to $1000 to each community that would be funded. The
purpose of this outreach will be to identify lonely and isolated seniors in rural
communities and develop ways for regular contact and/or for re-connecting these
individuals with their communities.
F. Ombudsman Program: We will increase ombudsman FTE hours by another 20 hotrs per
week to help keep up with visitations in Assisted Living Facilities which have grown to
approximately 25 facilities in the last five years. This exceptional growth has had an
impact on the Ombudsman Program's ability to meet basic visitation requirements under
the Older Americans Act. $23,000 is being allocated to this program.
G Case Management/Legal Aide: The Area Agency on Aging will increase FTE time of a
paralegal to address senior legal concerns, Medicare and other complex care issues
Legal Aide will increase from .50 FTE to 1.0 FTE. Services will be expanded to rural
Weld emphasizing south Weld from the Fort Lupton area and north Weld from the Pierce
and Ault areas. $21,000 is being allocated to this area.
H, Hispanic Outreach: The needs assessment showed in almost every instance that Hispanic
elders were twice as in need of health care, transportation, and income assistance.
Currently, we help fiord a 1.0 FTE bilingual Hispanic outreach worker to cover the entire
county or about 12,000 Hispanic elders. We propose to increase funding to this effort by
approximately$20.000 for the purpose of increasing outreach to rural elderly Hispanics.
Home Health Care: Health care is in major flux and home health care has continues to go
through major funding changes. Large numbers of seniors still do not have access to
needed home health care as they do not qualify for Medicaid, Medicare home health, or
they cannot fully afford care as a private payer. Currently we support RVNA Home
Health Care at $21,175 to support homemaker and personal care services for seniors who
cannot afford the full cost of this care. We propose to increase this funding by $25.000 to
support these same services for seniors in south Weld County where there is a serf ins
problem in accessibility to home health care.
