This is a request to continue with the financial support provided to the Florence Gray Soltys Adult Day Health Program under the auspices of Senior Care of Orange County, Inc. This program originally started by the County Department on Aging as a major Master Aging Plan funded initiative. 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 Orange 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 average age is 80 years old.) e) Describe the community need or problem to be addressed in relation to the Chapel Hill_Human Services Needs Assessment, Orange County BOCC Goals and Priorities, Town of Chapel Hill Council Goals, Carrboro Board Priorities, or other community priorities (i.e. Council /Board Goals).

The Florence Gray Soltys Adult Day Health Program is a therapeutic, health - focused program for adults and seniors that offer a variety of services in a home -like setting that is open from 7:30am to 5:30pm, Monday - Friday. The significant need for this program is growing rapidly as more seniors age in place with various diagnosis ranging from, but not limited to dementia, Parkinson's and diabetes. The program allows more opportunities for families to feel reassured of the care and safety that their loved one receives. From year to year, the number of participants enrolled in program continues to grow. Currently the program is averaging 23 participants per day, with a capacity for up to 29 per day. The support from the Towns and County would continue to provide day health services for the individual in the community. f) Who is your target population of individuals to benefit from this program and how will they be identified and connected with the program?
