Prior to the late 1970's, senior services in Eagle County consisted of programs and activities that existed ahnost exclusively through the efforts of grass-roots volunteerism. In 1979, a proposal was made on behalf of the seniors of Eagle County to the Board of County Commissioners to fund the Elderly Services and Needs Program. In 2006, Adult Services became an official division of Eagle County Health and Human Services. With this change, programs that were once piecemealed throughout Eagle County including senior nutrition, senior health activities, adult protective services and volunteer services were incorporated into one inclusive division. Today, Eagle County Government remains the main source of services for older adults in the county. Eagle County Aging and Adult Services (renamed in 2008) provides leadership to create and sustain an aging-well cominunity that promotes social and civic engagement, planning along the life span, optimizes physical and mental independence, supports community caregivers and addresses the basic needs and safety concerns of older adults and persons with disabilities. Eagle County Aging and Adult Services includes programs for nutritious lunches, health awareness and disease prevention activities, and basic transportation services throughout the week at senior sites in Basalt, Eagle and Minturn. Eagle County Government also offers options for independent senior housing, caregiver support groups, vision support groups, and social/ educational activities. To address both adult protection requirements and the need for resource coordination, the case manager investigates abuse, neglect, and exploitation of seniors and disabled adults in the comrnunity and coordinates services to ineet the needs of at-risk adults who strive to reinain independent and safe in their hoines. Eagle County Volunteer Services rounds out the Aging and Adult Services Departinent by supporting older adults with options for volunteering in the community through the Rural Resort RSVP Program. Volunteer Services also recruits and organizes a network of volunteers of all ages to assist with many aspects of Aging and Adult Services. Eagle County Aging and Adult Services, in it's short time as a single department, has made significant progress in reaching out to older adults in the community, streainlining services and developing a strategic plan to continue meeting the needs of older adults in the community. Eagle County Aging and Adult Services involves over 120 older adults a year in the nutrition sites and health activities. In addition, the case manager serves 60 at-risk older adults a year. In 2009, Eagle County Aging and Adult Services began new efforts to provide a stronger system of care for older adults in Eagle County. In collaboration with the United Way of the Eagle River Valley, Aging and Adult Services launched Home Connections which provides free housekeeping services to older adults who are unable due to injury or frailty to do housekeeping chores independently. In addition, Eagle County Health and Human Services hopes to begin a small early dernentia day care pro~-am for older adults with Alzheimer's disease in collaboration with the Brookdale Foundation. Eagle County Health and Human Services submitted a grant application to the Brookdale Foundation for this new service in June. Eagle County is in the planning stage of developing a small assisted living facility as well. All three of these programs would be the first and only service of their kind in our county. Eagle County Volunteer Services supports the efforts of Aging and Adult Services by recruiting volunteers who serve as companions for older adults or who assist with running errands, preparing and delivering meals and providing transportation. Eagle County Volunteer Services coordinates a medical transportation pro~nam in which volunteers provide rides for individuals to essential medical appointinents. In 2008, Eagle County volunteers drove individuals over 10,672 miles for a total of 123 rides to medical appointments. It is an exciting time of strategic planning and growth for Aging and Adult Services. Our division is ready to expand current programs and launch new services to better meet the needs of our community. Purpose of the Request Eagle County Aging and Adult Services is requesting a total of $10,480.00 froin the E1 Pomar Foundation to enhance two essential services that support safe and independent living for older adults in Eagle County; The Eagle County Home Connections Prograin and the Volunteer Services Medical Transportation Program. Both programs support independence, engaging volunteers to help others in the community and keeping our older adults safely in our county. With the current economic times as they are, these supports are more ilnportant than ever in that they help to prevent accidents and/or injuries of older adults in their hoines or cars anci placement in a more expensive, higher level facility. These programs also assist the caregivers and fainily meinbers of older adults who often struggle to care for their loved ones in the absence of financial and programmatic resources. Home Connections Eagle County Aging and Adult Services is requesting $6480.00 for Hoine Connections. Eagle County Hoine Connections provides free housekeeping to local residents who are at risk of losing their independence due to not being able to keep their living environments safe and clean. It is estimated that a minimuin of fifty adults aged sixty years and older in Eagle County are being underserved and are in at-risk living situations due to the absence of community, non-medical, in-home services, including housekeeping and home maintenance assistance and non-skilled nursing for bathing and meal preparation. Our local home health agency supplies skilled nursing services only and there are no non-skilled nursing, adult day care and respite care agencies in Eagle County. Often our community residents aged 60 years and older are forced to inove out of their communities to receive needed assistance or a higher level of care or they stay at lloine putting theinselves at risk of accident, injury or illness. At least ten of those individuals are at imminent risk of institutionalization. Eagle County Home Connections aims to fill this gap in the community by providing free housekeeping two times a inonth to local residents who are aged 60 years and older, who live at or below 250% of poverty and who demonstrate physical or mental incapacities that require intervention to remain safely in their home. Eagle County Home Connections contracts with a local housekeeping proprietor who provides the housekeeping service for $20.00/hour. It is a goal of Home Connections to prevent accidents and injuries of the older adults, as well as prevent the involvement of more costly adult protection services and the entry into an assisted living facility In 2009, Home Connections provided housekeeping help to seven different older adults. These residents range in age from 69 to 87 years and live throughout the county. Five of the individuals are males and two are females. Five of the individuals use assistance for walking including a cane, walker and/or wheelchair. All of them live independently and have liinited fainily support. Here are a couple of examples of the older adults and their current situations. Older adult #1 is a female, aged 79 years, living in Eagle and using a walker and wheelchair due to stenosis of the spine and lupus. Older adult #2 is a inale, aged 69 years, living in Eagle who has difficulty walking and using the right side of his body due to a recent stroke, and older adult #3 is a male, aged 79 years, living in Eagle who has kidney failure and has to travel out of the county an average of three days a week for dialysis. For each of these individuals, the house cleaning proprietor vacuums the floors, cleans the bathtub and/or shower, toilet and sink and mops the floors, which '^ ^ ~,~'~?'"a~9;T ~ ~, ~ . x:~~,~ .'~'~ ~° . f ~. ;a _ ~~~n I /: ~! ~~ ~ _` -~= ~ ~~ ~ ~ - .~ .. ~ :- . ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ;~: .~ - ~ '~ , ~ ~ . _ : ~ ( .. . : _ ~~ ~' . 4... .. ..

Both programs support independence, engaging volunteers to help others in the community and keeping our older adults safely in our county.

Home Connections Eagle County Aging and Adult Services is requesting $6480.00 for Home Connections. Eagle County Home Connections provides free housekeeping to local residents who are at risk of losing their independence due to not being able to keep their living environments safe and clean. It is estimated that a minimuin of fifty adults aged sixty years and older in Eagle County are being underserved and are in at-risk living situations due to the absence of community, non-medical, in-home services, including housekeeping and home maintenance assistance and non-skilled nursing for bathing and meal preparation.

At least ten of those individuals are at iinminent risk of institutionalization. Eagle County Home Connections aims to fill this gap in the community by providing free housekeeping two times a month to local residents who are aged 60 years and older, who live at or below 250% of poverty and who demonstrate physical or mental incapacities that require intervention to remain safely in their home. Eagle County Hame Connections contracts with a local housekeeping proprietor who provides the housekeeping service for $20.00/hour. It is a goal of Home Connections to prevent accidents and injuries of the older adults, as well as prevent the involvement of more costly adult protection services and the entry into an assisted living facility In 2009, Home Connections provided housekeeping help to seven different older adults.

For each of these individuals, the house cleaning proprietor vacuums the floors, cleans the bathtub and/or shower, toilet and sink and mops the floors, which due to mobility problems and poor health, these clients cannot manage on their own. Ho~ne Connections has met an essential need for each of these individuals. Eagle County Aging and Adult Services marketed Home Connections on a small level at the senior meal sites in Minturn and Eagle. At this time there are five additional adults on the waitlist to receive Home Connections services. In addition, Eagle County has not begun to expand this program in the El Jebel-Basalt area where there are an estimated five residents in need of this assistance. Aging and Adult Services aims to support ten clients with housekeeping help in the next year and expand Home Connections to include twenty local residents within the next two years. Our request of $6,480.00 will provide the housekeeping services for six older adults for twelve months. Eagle County Home Connections is also funded by the United Way of the Eagle River Valley and Eagle County Government. This combined funding will allow Eagle County to serve a total of ten clients in 2010. Medical Transportation: Eagle County Aging and Adult Services is also requesting $4000.00 for the Volunteer Services Medical Transportation Program. The medical transportation program is a vital service in Eagle County focused on supporting older adult independence and community helping community. Volunteer Services receives calls from both individuals themselves and community professionals on the behalf of individuals in need of the medical transportation assistance. Once eligibility and the details for the appointment are established, Volunteer Services contacts a network of registered volunteers to determine who might be available to help with the request. Eagle County Volunteer Services consistently recruits new volunteers for this ongoing opportunity. Volunteer Services receives as many as 150 requests annually for transportation to essential medical appointments both within and outside of Eagle County and is able to match 80% of these needs. There are few supportive services for transportation in the county. Eagle County in collaboration with the Alpine Area on Aging provides transportation for local older adults on the Senior Center buses. The bus drivers coordinate group transportation to medical facilities as well as grocery stores, post offices, pharmacies, retail shops, and for social field trips. Within this service, medical transportation is limited especially to appointments outside of the county area. The other option for older adults is ECO Para-Transit which offers transportation for adults aged 60 years or older or individuals with disabilities who complete an application and meet eligibility requirements. There are difficulties with this service because the bus will only stop at locations no more than '/ of a mile from a bus stop. In addition, there is limited door to door service and individuals are expected to be present 30 minutes before the scheduled pick up time. These programs do not meet the need for all medical appointments nor do they support independence and flexibility. Due to the lack of resources and the increase in the aging population, the demand for volunteer provided medical transportation continues to increase. In 2008, Volunteer Services expended $3,587 to volunteers for travel reimbursement for over 10,672 miles. There were also several other volunteers who provided rides who declined reiinbursement for their travel and instead donated both their time and their gas expense. For the first six months of 2009, Volunteer Services expended $4553.68 in mileage reimbursement for medical transportation; over 11,000 miles have been logged for a total of 63 individuals. A dramatic shift in utilization is happening such that inany more out of county trips are being requested. This is reflective of the increase in our aging population and their medical needs that cannot be met locally. About a third of the rides are the same clients requesting recurring services/trips. Most medical specialists only have offices in the larger cities of Glenwood Springs, Grand Junction, or Denver. Further, our trends show that there are fewer requests for medical transportation during the suinmer months when clients typically drive themselves especially in County. However, during winter months, many of our seniors will not drive in inclement weather conditions which are typical to our area. Over 20 volunteers generously donate their time to assist people in getting to their medical appointments. Eagle County encourages their volunteering through reiinbursing $ 0.40 a mile. Some volunteers do often choose not to be reimbursed for their travel however inany need the reimbursement in order to continue helping especially during the current economic times. The request of $4000.00 for the medical transportation program will reimburse volunteers for 10,000 miles. Eagle County Government will budget $4000.00 as well to reimburse volunteers for a total of 20,000 miles in 2010. Program Bud~ Please see the included budget. Eagle County Aging and Adult Services launched Home Connections in April 2009 and thus the current budget allows for 9 months instead of 12 months. Eagle County plans to provide the Home Connections service for all of 2010. The United Way of the Eagle River Valley awarded Aging and Adult Services $1000.00 for Home Connections for 2010. In addition, Eagle County is budgeting an additional $3500.00 for Home Connections in 2010. Aging and Adult Services plans to continue the program for at minimum 4 clients if we are not able to receive El Pomar funding and to continue searching for grant opportunities that can support this vital program. Eagle County originally budgeted $3800.00 for Volunteer Services medical transportation in 2009. In May 2009, Eagle County amended the budget to include an additional $6200.00 to meet the growing need. Eagle County is currently studying options for handling the increase in demand for medical transportation and to enhance the system of transportation in Eagle County. One new goal is to regularly include reviewing eligibility for Medicaid reimbursement for clients who receive the service so that volunteers can be reimbursed from Medicaid rather than Eagle County. ~ V ~ N ~ O N a p O U ~ o o ~ F o p o o ~~ o N ~ O O O ~I O ~ O O ~ (D N ~ O ~ ~ ~ N fA (/~ 6 9 N C ~ O N ~ ~ 7 Z N F- O ~ ~ - 1 I ~ ~I ~ 0 I ~ O U U 10 O N O O O N N U Z ~ 0 0 o N O U ~ o ° a°o ° ~ c°D o a ~ F ~ v ~ ~ o ~ ° o ~ ry o O 0 O 0 ~ ~ O o O O ~ O o ~ N o O ~ ~ ,o ~.i0 ~p O M d ~ O O ~ I ~ ~ ~ M ~ ~ ~ Q C~ fA ~ ~ (n 6~9 ~ fn N 6 9 ~ (n V> ~ 47 ~ v N G d O~ ~ ~ ~ ° ~ ~ 'O 7 ] ~ N S] o N ° TI ~ E 7 I p ~ ~ ~ c6 L L ' N ~ I ~ a0 ~ .C Q ~ Q `-~ O O O O I- C O C O ~ ~ ° E E ~ } o O o O ~ o O o O » ~ o O N N ~ ~ ~ ~ p ~ p W ~ p Q N C N ~ C N ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ I ~ d O ~ O N U V m tA EA h ~ 69 (n (O ~D N ~' I ~ ~ I L m ~ j c j c C O E > a~i K a~i a~' 14 ~ ~a~ E E c ?i E ~ c ~ I m u , I m ~ •q i I ~ ; •~ N ~ ~ U W O O (~ ~ C O (,~ ~ C ' L 'N L 7 T Q >. ~ 0 ~ >.

In 2008, Eagle County requested $5450.00 and received $2500.00 for Home Connections. In 2009, Eagle County requested $8000.00 from the United Way and was awarded $2000.00. Eagle County Health and Human Services has never requested additional outside funding for the volunteer medical transportation prograin however due to the recent increase in demand for the service, Eagle County is pursuing outside support.
