Federal Poverty Level

Over 25 million Americans aged 60+ are economically insecure— living at or below 250% of the federal poverty level (FPL) ($29,425 per year for a single person). These older adults struggle with rising housing and health care bills, inadequate nutrition, lack of access to transportation, diminished savings, and job loss. For older adults, one major adverse life event can change today’s realities into tomorrow’s troubles.

what can you identify as an area of need?

• Community-based services – an opportunity for

beneficiaries to receive services in their own home or community rather than institutions or other isolated settings.

• thers?

Lunch

24

Session 2: Alignment exercise

• This morning each table identified areas of need by

answering the five questions.

• AAA focus groups also answered these five questions

earlier this year.

• We would like each table to review the AAA focus group

responses and see what alignment of ideas can be achieved by program area.

• There are 4 program areas please take 10 minutes per

program area for this alignment process.

25

Opportunities in Addressing Aging Needs

26

• Locate and optimize a central kitchen capable of

producing enough meals to serve the increasing older adult population.

• Dedicated volunteer recruitment position within the AAA

for aging services.

• Gain additional funding to address the increasing

demands of Home Delivered and Congregate meal programming.

Proposed: Increasing Nutrition Service Capacity

27

Central Kitchen Olathe Meals on Wheels DeSoto Community Center Gardner Senior Center Spring Hill Civic Center Matt Ross Community Center Irene French Community Center Congregation Beth Torah Lenexa Senior Center

AAA Meals on Wheels Distribution Sites

28

• Qualifying AAA clients receive transportation by micro-transit.
• Rides are booked by transportation coordination program at JoCo

AAA.

• Qualified clients call a specific JoCo AAA phone number to request

a coordinated micro-transit ride.

• To qualify, clients must be:

– A resident of Johnson County – 60+ years of age – Assessed for Johnson County aging services – Ambulatory – With limited transportation options

Proposed: Transportation Coordination for Older Adults

29

• Increasing support for the County’s Senior Care program.

– Scope of Senior Care Act – Senior Care Act helps keep people in their homes and assists them in delaying

• r avoiding Medicaid (KanCare). The public cost of SCA is $200 per month

compared to $3,000 per month in a facility. – Senior Care Act is based on a sliding fee scale. This means SCA clients pay for a portion of their services based on their income.

• Invest in the AAA’s in-home mental health counseling program.

– This service provides mental wellness support for older adults who have additional health issues and lack consistent transportation. – We are the only AAA in Kansas to provide this service directly. – The AAA was awarded a national achievement of service award in 2019 for this innovation.

Proposed: Optimizing in-home supports and services

30

• Increase effective pathways for older adults to secure

in-home supports and services.

– Develop a greater presence for the AAA on the County’s website. – Consider forming a 501(c)(3) to assist in accessing potential funding for aging supports and services.

• Increase awareness of the AAA for use of available health

and wellness resources.

– Dedication of one page in each issue of the Johnson County Magazine for older adult issues, in addition to The Best Times. – Resources to optimize Facebook outreach, to boost ads and information related to aging supports and services.

Proposed: Public awareness & increased visibility of the Area Agency on Aging.

31

Next Steps

• We will compile all data
• Information will go into Johnson County Aging Service

Master Plan for 2020-2030

• Our hope is to present this plan to the Johnson County

Board of County Commissioners for their review.
