Sandy Griggs, Senior Center Director-Quarterly Update

Sandy Griggs, Senior Center Director, was present to give the Board a quarterly update on the Center as follows: 

 

#1 The kitchen is fully staffed with the recent addition of Kyle Wilcoxon and Debra Villalovos. Many compliments are being received and it seems that lunch attendance has increased.

#2 Currently delivering 200 meals per day, and Site serving almost 100 between three Sites daily. This averages to approximately 300 meals being prepared daily.

#3 Vehicles are ready for the winter weather. Approximately 500 miles are being driven each day. This is a total of all miles for meal delivery, Site drivers, escorts and other transportation requests. Two vehicles are to be sold at the auction. Recently had to put new brakes on the lift equipped bus.

#4 Escort requests are continuing to be numerous, possibly because of the higher gas prices. With prices dropping, hopefully requests will also decrease. Escorts are even arranged on holidays when the county is closed. We have had several days where there have been in excess of eight trips, and that is almost past the number we can accommodate. Destination plays a big factor into whether we can arrange all requests, and some have been refused with suggestion to re-schedule.

#5 Housekeeping services continue to remain steady, assisting in keeping people independent and in their own homes. Routine maintenance cleaning can be performed. There is a current list of seven homemakers that serve over 125 clients per month. The remaining grant funds received for this service will be exhausted with the October reimbursement. Portion of October, all of November and December will be covered wholly by the Senior Center budget.

#6 The Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program ends the end of October. There were 484 Fulton County Seniors served with this program from the USDA. Each person

received $40.00 in coupons to be used throughout the growing and harvesting season.

#7 Medicare Part D enrollment begins November 15. OSHIIP (Ohio Senior Health Insurance Information Program) has been invited to present a program with all of the updates and changes for 2009.
