2 <br /> FUTURE SENIOR CENTERS: THE PLAN RECOMMENDATIONS. In light of <br /> of the historical developments, future population growth and <br /> distribution, coordination of aging services, state standards <br /> for centers and cost constraints for the development and <br /> operation of senior centers, the Committee recommended a <br /> Centralized-Decentralized Model. Specifically, the Senior <br /> Centers Development Plan recommends the following: <br /> (1) Establish a large multipurpose Senior Center in <br /> Hillsborough with a adult day care component. <br /> (2) Purchase the existing Chapel Hill multipurpose Senior <br /> Center and adjoining space for adult day care and other <br /> multipurpose activities. <br /> (3) Develop and expand satellite outreach senior programs <br /> located in the population areas of Carrboro, Efland- <br /> Cheeks Community Center, Cedar Grove-Northern Orange <br /> Community Center and Chapel Hill/Northside area at the <br /> Southern Orange Senior Center. <br /> (4) Support for all Senior Centers and Satellite Outreach <br /> Programs must in part be from a Friends organization to <br /> promote a sense of community ownership, financial support <br /> as well as volunteers. <br /> (5) Support for the two multipurpose senior Centers should <br /> come from a funding alliance with their respective town <br /> (Chapel Hill or Hillsborough) , the County and the Friends <br /> of each Center. <br /> (6) Management of the two multipurpose senior centers and the <br /> coordination of services at the four decentralized <br /> satellite senior programs will be the responsibility of <br /> the Orange County Department on Aging. <br /> (7) The Orange County Advisory Board on Aging will be <br /> responsible for reviewing the implementation and any <br /> modifications of the adopted Senior Centers Plan on an <br /> annual basis and report to the County Commissioners. <br /> (8) The Orange County Department on Aging in cooperation with <br /> the Advisory Board on Aging would develop a funding plan <br /> by December, 1996 for the facility expansion or <br /> improvements approved in the Senior Centers Plan. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S) : The County Manager recommends the Board of County <br /> Commissioners receive the final report on the Senior <br /> Centers Development Plan as information at this time. <br /> FN:AB60820B.Doc r <br /> Page 2 of 2 <br />
