r " <br /> As outlined in a memo from Thomas M. Ward, dated 12/310/80, the Adult Services <br /> Staff has taken the following actions to di:crease the expenditures for the <br /> Chore Service Program: <br /> A. have placed no new cases oh the Chore Service Program since August 5, 198Q, <br /> 2. decreased hours to the very minimum or texminated'any case where recipient <br /> could do more for himself or relatives could help more. <br /> 3. no.replacements made for clients placed in rest homes or deceased. <br /> 4. A 20% cut for the mast destitute or sick without relatives and a 30X <br /> cut in most cases where relative is paid to care for relative. <br /> 5. Reduction of maximum payment fr6m $275 to $236 per month. <br /> 6. 3 cases transferred to Services to the Blind Chore services <br /> 7. Any chore provider who stopped work has been replaced by another person <br /> at a maximum rate of $3.00 per hour. <br /> With the above listed efforts,: we have reduced the expendituxee !w the limit <br /> during the past three months: <br /> August, 1980 123 recipients cost $22,510.41 <br /> September, 1980 11Z.-recipients 20,928.72 <br /> October, 1980 108 recipients 20,213.19 <br /> November, 1980 <br /> Anticipated expenditure for December, .1980 (if no deaths) 3.s 93 recipients <br /> at a cost of $14,303.52. The type clientele that we serve is not in a position.-. <br /> to supplement the cost of chore service. <br /> 30 recipients receive only Social Supplementary Income, average <br /> payment is $168.33 monthly. <br /> 49 recipients receive Social Security only, average $258.69. <br /> 8 recipients receive Social Security and Veterans Benefits <br /> average $74.23 <br /> 12 recipients receive Social Security and have a small amount of <br /> interest, farm income, or ether retirement to supplement, average <br /> supplement $132,06 per month. <br /> Average overall income of all clients is $284.89 per month. <br /> With the present clients served, we can make the following predictions for <br /> their futures without chore service: <br /> 3 would have to go into nursing homes <br /> 75 would have to go into rest homes <br /> 10 would have to move in with relatives <br /> 10 would endure neglect in their own homes until removed by court <br /> action or hospitalization. <br /> 3 relatives are already paying for the difference in our rate and <br /> full coverage and would probably try to pay this difference. <br /> Some of the advantages and charactexistice cared for by Chore Services for <br /> the aged and disabled that the other services do not provide: <br /> 1. At least one hot meal per day <br /> 2. Enough baths to keep reasonably clean <br /> 3.'House cleaned. <br /> 4. Laundry <br /> 5. Shopping for groceries, medicine, etc. <br /> 6. Chauffeur to medical facilil.ies and far client to pay bills. <br /> 7. for some, their only barrier from complete isolation, <br /> r d h' <br /> 1 ' <br />
