Organizations Filed Purposes:
To enhance the lives of adults by assisting them to remain independent at home through a range of quality services.
"Community-based In-home Services - Our programs make it possible for frail older adults and individuals of all ages with disabilities to remain independent in their homes and avoid unnecessary hospitalization and nursing home placement. Long-term care services include Meals on Wheels, medical transportation, homemaking help, personal care (bathing and grooming), medical equipment, home modification and more. In FFY 2019, we served more than 26,000 individuals in our multi-county region with home and community-based services, including those helped through Ohio Medicaid waiver programs and via county tax levy programs in Butler, Clermont, Clinton, Hamilton and Warren counties. Medicaid waiver programs include PASSPORT (in-home care for ages 60+); Assisted Living waiver (assisted living care for ages 21+); Ohio Home Care Waiver (in-home care for ages 59 and under); Specialized Recovery Services Program (specialized support for adults with severe and persistent mental illness, certain diagnosed chronic health conditions, or who are active on a transplant waiting list); and MyCare Ohio waivers (coordinated care for individuals who are dually-eligible for Medicare and Medicaid).In-home care is preferred by more than 90 percent of seniors, according to surveys by AARP and other organizations. In addition, the cost for in-home care is, on average, about one-third the cost of care in a nursing home. Because taxpayers fund most nursing home care (via Medicaid), in-home care alternatives are a valuable and compassionate way to save public funds.
"Community-based Senior Care Activities - These include a range of services designed to help older adults remain healthy, active and connected to their communities. Additional services provide legal assistance to low-income older adults and protect the rights of those in nursing homes. Services are provided by senior centers and other community organizations that have contracts with Council on Aging. One of the most important services in this category is transportation. In FFY 2019, 4,475 seniors within our 5-county region received transportation services funded by Title III of the Older Americans Act. Most trips are for medical appointments, but transportation for shopping, other errands, and recreation is also provided. Funding for transportation falls far short of community need. Additional community-based services in FFY 2019 included congregate meals for 3,816 older adults; caregiver support and wellness programs for 4,327 individuals (including people caring for individuals with Alzheimer's); legal assistance for 1,107 seniors; ombudsman representation for 9,746 individuals in nursing homes and receiving in-home care; and supportive services for 3,346 individuals.
Care and Case Management Services- Care manager professionals assess, develop care plans, implement, monitor, and coordinate a range of services and supports to maintain the independence, health and safety of frail older adults and individuals of all ages with disabilities. Care managers ensure clients and health plan members receive the right services, in the rights amounts, at the right times. In FFY 2019, Council on Aging provided care management services to more than 26,000 individuals.
