County and Town funds are critical for the continuation of this one of a kind program that serves the severely frail elderly and adults with special needs in Orange County. We have seen growth from residents of Chapel Hill and Carrboro needing Adult Day Health services since 2014. The program expanded on February 4, 2009 as a partnership with the county to continue to work towards meeting the goals of the Master Aging Plan of Oratige County. The request for funding from each participating jurisdiction is a huge priority with helping to prolong and/or prevent institutionalization. This would allow the individual to age in place within their home and community as statistics show that adults are living longer. This program will continue to provide quality of care; with dignity and respect to all individuals in which we serve ages 18 and up. (Please note that the crverage age is 80 years old.) c) Describe the local need or problem to be addressed in relation to the Consolidated Plan or other community priorities (i.e. Council/Board Goals). Cite local data to support the need for this program and the population being served. Not applicable to our Agency d) Describe the population to be served or the area to benefit and indicate how you will identify beneficiaries. The population being served is more of the adults ages 65 and older. The need of this program is growing rapidly as more seniors age in place with various diagnosis ranging from,but not limited to dementia, Parkinson's disease, CVA and Diabetes. The existing space continues to allow more opportunities for families to feel reassured of the care and safety that their loved one receives with health monitoring by registered nurses, contracts with occupational and physical therapy services, certified nursing assistants to aid and assist in ADL care (activities of daily living), along with a social worker and activities staff to ensure that physical, social emotional and cognitive domains are being met. From year to year,the numbers enrolled continues to grow. Currently the program is averaging 24 participants per day, which allows for part-time and full-time enrollment with a licenses capacity for up to 29 on any given day. Affordability along with flexibility in participant's schedules helps to determine and identify funding for qualifying individuals. A weekly attendance and revenue form is used to track participants under an additional and/or supplemental funding source. e) Who specifically will carry out the activities and in what location will they be carried out?
