2012-2017 Orange County Master Aging Plan <br />Community Kick-off Event <br />In October 2011, the OCDOA sponsored a <br />community forum, attended by 113 people, to <br />present the results of the government readiness <br />assessment and the community assessment to a <br />broader group of stakeholders and to identify <br />gaps in the six existing priority areas. The event <br />started with a series of presentations about the <br />context of aging and the results of community <br />assessment, and then moved into a series of <br />small (eight to ten people) discussion groups to <br />identify missing priorities. In total, seven <br />additional priority areas were identified by <br />these small groups, including 1) financial and <br />economic security, 2) aging in place supports, <br />3) safety and security, 4) food and nutrition, 5) <br />public education, 6) mental health, and 7) <br />physician education. OCDOA staff compiled all <br />13 priority areas and projected them onto a <br />large screen so that forum participants could <br />vote on the issues they thought were most <br />important for MAP to address. The purpose of <br />this prioritization was to identify five priorities to <br />become MAP work group topics. The five topics <br />that received the most votes became work <br />group topics, and all other priorities were <br />merged under the five priority areas. <br />Work Groups <br />The five work group topics identified from the <br />community assessment and the community <br />forum were Housing, Health and Wellness, <br />Aging in Place, Navigation and <br />Transportation, and Community Engagement. <br />Work groups met over a standardized five- <br />meeting sequence from November 2011 to <br />February 2012 that ensured parallel process <br />across groups. One UNC graduate student and <br />two OCDOA staff inembers co-led each work <br />group, which consisted of anywhere from 10 to <br />30 community members. Work groups were <br />responsible for researching the topic area, <br />identifying problems within the topic area in <br />Orange County, and formulating objectives <br />and strategies to address that problem. The <br />final output from each group was a concise list <br />of objectives and strategies that were then filed <br />under the eight MAP goals. Below is a summary <br />of the main discussion points of each of the MAP <br />Work Groups. <br />Housing: <br />• Information needs regarding housing <br />stock, especially affordable housing <br />• Alternate senior housing models <br />• Regulations restricting new housing <br />developments <br />• Availability of housing subsidies <br />• Universal design <br />• Engaging community stakeholders in <br />housing development planning <br />Health and Wellness: <br />• EMS Services for older adults, especially <br />for falls prevention <br />• Healthy lifestyles and chronic disease <br />prevention <br />• Spiritual counseling and chaplaincy <br />services <br />• Accessing appropriate medical care <br />• Workforce training for medical <br />professionals to serve and engage with <br />older adults <br />• Quality and access to mental health and <br />substance abuse programs and services <br />• Quality of programs and services <br />provided in nursing homes, assisted living <br />facilities, family care homes, and (ong- <br />term care facilities <br />• Marketing and information sharing about <br />health and wellness programs and <br />services available in the county <br />8 <br />
