14 <br /> Recommendation for 2008-09: Continue these strategies on affordable healthcare access and <br /> develop other partnerships. <br /> <br /> 3. Focus: Disabled/Moderately Impaired Older Adults <br /> <br /> Goal F: Disabled/Moderately Impaired Older Population — Maximize the safety, <br /> functional ability, and quality of life for impaired, community-dwelling older persons and <br /> their family caregivers. <br /> <br /> Objective F-1-: Increase community recognition, support, education and <br /> empowerment of family caregivers. <br /> <br /> Lead Organization (s): Department on Aging-Aging Transitions Div. <br /> <br /> Activities, Accomplishments and Recommendations: <br /> 1. An initial meeting of the Community Caregiver Alliance was held. Caregivers have been <br /> incorporated into the community engagement task force. <br /> 2. Support Groups: The Aging Transitions staff has promoted the value of self-help and group <br /> support by offering several support groups, such as weekly group respite at the Seymour <br /> Center, a Parkinson's Support Group in Central Orange Senior Center, three supports groups <br /> for Caregivers of people with dementia, and a weekly group for individuals with mild dementia. <br /> 3. Dementia Outreach: A part time coordinator of African American caregiver outreach <br /> conducted research of the literature and met with many minority community leaders to prepare <br /> culturally sensitive presentations for use in minority communities. Over 25 formal <br /> presentations in 2007-08 were delivered in minority churches, to increase awareness of <br /> dementia symptoms and management. <br /> 4. Caregiver Class/Workshops: "The Powerful Tools for Caregivers" class was presented in <br /> early 2008 and will be replicated in fall 2008. The workshops are a joint endeavor between the <br /> NC Cooperative Extension Service and the Department on Aging. Three new community <br /> workshops were designed and implemented in 2008 for family caregivers by the Department <br /> on Aging's Transitions/Eldercare Division. <br /> Recommendation for 2008-09: To continue the support groups, classes, and dementia <br /> outreach, involve other community groups and to establish a new column in the News of <br /> Orange to educate the community and empower family caregivers. <br /> Objective F-2: Offer best practices in mental health care for older persons in <br /> affordable, stigma-free, non-psychiatric settings. <br /> Lead Organization (s): Department on Aging-Aging Transitions Div. <br /> 11 <br />
