Annual Plan Summary Narrative
During Fiscal Year 1985, the Weld County AAA again will be maintaining
several basic services needed by the elderly of this region. These
services include nutrition, transportation, Spanish elderly outreach,
home health care, legal aide, mental health counseling , adult day care,
and nursing home advocacy. However, the AAA is promoting certain
changes in direction within this offering of services.
During FY '85, the AAA targeted two service areas for in-depth analysis.
These were nursing home advocacy and Spanish elderly outreach,. It was
the concern of both the AAA staff and advisory board members that
significant changes were needed in these service areas.
As a result of these studies , the AAA will be increasing its award to
Catholic Community Services Northern (C.C.S.N. ) in order that C.C.S.N.
can hire an additional half time outreach worker. It is the intent of
the AAA that outreach services should be expanded to southern Weld
County, particularly in the areas of Fort Lupton , Platteville, Dacono,
Frederick, and Firestone.
Also, the outreach program will be changing to de-emphasize support for
dependent activities such as transportation and recreation. Instead,
outreach workers will be teaching seniors how to use available
resources.
Many months of AAA Advisory Board and community input has resulted in a
total redesign of the nursing home ombudsman program, which will now be
funded through Colorado Rural Legal Services. The AAA will expand the
ombudsman program to include board and care homes, alternative care
facilities , and adult day care. More emphasis will be given to
improving relations between long term care providers and.the community,
as well as providing quality education and training on long term care
issues.
Home health care services seem to be needed more than ever due to the
rapid changes occurring in the health care delivery system. However, the
AAA will re-examine its role in trying to subsidize home health care
needs which should more properly be the responsibility of a third party
insurance system. Striking an appropriate balance will be difficult as
the need for home health care increases.
Nutrition services will continue to be integral to the aging program in
Weld County. High quality standards have been the hallmark of the Weld
County Senior Nutrition Program for several years. Increased service
will not be possible due to the lack of increased federal dollars,
however, high quality standards will be maintained.
The Meals on Wheels Program (MOW) completed a study of the frozen meals
option and has already begun serving frozen meals on weekends to
selected clients. The AAA will be increasing the MOW award so that the
frozen meals program can expand to areas of south Weld County.
Currently there is a waiting list for these meals in that part of the
county.
The Weld County Long Term Care Coordinating Committee will continue to
meet and function under the leadership of the AAA. A work plan for the
committee has been adopted which addresses such issues as guardianship ,
respite care, evaluation of the HCBS Program, elder abuse, expanded case
management, training and transportation.
Also, in FY '86, the AAA will work closely with United Way of Weld
County on community needs assessments and coordination of services.
Elder abuse will be given close attention since both the AAA public
hearing and a recent United Way key informant survey showed elder abuse
as a high need area. An educational program informing the community
about elder abuse and where to find help will be developed and
initiated.
In the face of four consecutive years of no increase in federal dollars
to the Weld AAA, we must be cautious about the future. Despite the
limitations , the Weld County AAA plans to move ahead maximizing
community resources and prioritizing service goals in order to best
serve Weld County elderly.

abuse exists.

native for families and elderly who are in abusive or potentially abusive sit-

advantage of when in fact they are not!

regarding financial matters she encounters through her work as an insurance
claims agent.
Ross Pendill said he believes society still has a bad attitude about old people,
regarding them something to be discarded.

abuse. We Continue to fight the stigma people have of using agencies like
Elder arden. He questioned how we can work to get families back together.
Louise Dill responded that there are times when you simply can' t get families
together that is why Senior Centers and Adult Day Care are so important as
support systems. Also it is important to have these support systems for
families who simply need a break from caring for an older family member.
