<br />Adult Care Home Community Advisory Committee - Yvonne Mendenhall <br />August 9, 2016 <br />Quarterly update <br />The ACH has several very impressive new members to fill open slots. The teams have been adjusted to <br />include these new individuals and talent. We currently have 11 members who do site visits. <br />All site visits and reports are current. <br />ACH teams have historically visited the same homes for multiple years. The advantages of this program <br />is building a relationship with the staff and with some residents to observe changes, needs, and <br />improvements. <br />We will continue this practice, but beginning this quarter teams will invite all other ACH members to <br />attend their site visits with them. This will give all committee members opportunity for exposure to all <br />of the programs in Orange County, will add more eyes and ears to the visits, and provide possibilities for <br />input, suggestions, and assistance with issues. <br />The once-a-year visits to all eldercare homes in Orange County will be done this quarter. We currently <br />have five eldercare homes in our county. <br />The new Orange County Ombudsman has been assigned, Autumn Pittman. She has been an <br />Ombudsman for other NC counties. <br /> <br />Yvonne Mendenhall <br />ACH Representative to the Orange County Advisory Board on Aging <br /> <br />Cc: Max Mason ACH, Chair <br />
