Department on Aging - continued <br />Budget Highlights <br />Revenue Reductions — Programs Impacts: Corporation of National and Community Service <br />(CNCS), RSVP federal sponsor, is changing the focus of RSVP nationwide. Due to current year <br />budget cuts, RSVP programs have been directed to downsize which includes limiting the number <br />of service agencies to those that make a measurable community impact and fall within the new <br />federal focus areas: Education, Environmental, Healthy Futures, Veterans and Military Families, <br />Disaster Services, Economic Opportunity. We anticipate that volunteer numbers will also decline <br />due to station (work site) reductions. Limited volunteer referral services will be offered to <br />terminated agencies, but they will not be official work sites. <br />Department on Aging: Senior Health Coordination /Wellness Program (Grant Fund) <br />Major Services <br />Provide access to senior health services, such as Fit Feet clinics, flu shots, diabetes, blood <br />pressure and cholesterol screenings through community partnerships. <br />Provide Health Education Seminars that promote healthy living and lifelong activity. <br />Provide movement/fitness classes at various functional levels serving participants from age 55 — <br />105 with most of those having at least one chronic condition. <br />Provide evidenced based programming through coordination with existing Federal and State <br />programs. <br />FY 2012 -13 Outcomes <br />Continued agreement with UNC Healthcare for funding of Wellness program (i.e. monthly Mall <br />Walk program); increased Fit Feet service, a registered nurse providing foot health care. <br />Maintained steady numbers of reduced fee senior memberships with the SportsPlex. <br />Provided evidence -based program opportunities, i.e. cholesterol and diabetes screening, diabetes <br />self- management courses, flu shots, health education programs (all in conjunction with the OC <br />Health Department), Chronic Disease Self- Management, Matter of Balance, and Arthritis <br />Foundation Exercise classes (co- sponsored with Triangle J Area Agency on Aging) <br />Performance Measures <br />2010 -11 <br />Actual <br />2011 -12 <br />Actual <br />2012 -13 <br />Budget <br />2012 -13 <br />Projected <br />2013 -14 <br />Budget <br />Service: Wellness Programs <br />Total Number of Participants <br />22,200 <br />22,260 <br />22,320 <br />22,540 <br />22,765 <br />Move ment/Exercise sessions <br />1,420 <br />1,490 <br />1,550 <br />1,700 <br />1,765 <br />SportsPlex Membership screenings <br />221 <br />245 <br />250 <br />225 <br />215 <br />Service: Personal Health Services <br />Fit Feet Clients <br />1,026 <br />1,055 <br />1,100 <br />1,700 <br />1,825 <br />�.'1: <br />
