·Sandy Griggs, Senior Center Director 2009 Recap Report

The Board was presented with a copy of the Senior Center Annual Report.  Ms. Griggs reported the following:

 

In 2009:

  • 314 seniors assisted with insurance claims - she noted that with each claim taking so much time now, that number is actually down for 2009 compared to 2008.
  • 25 seniors assisted with HEAP and Energy Credits – those numbers are up.
  • 1 Referral for Home Repair – that number stayed the same
  • 10 Golden Buckeye Applications – number is down, as it is something that is only issued once per person.
  • 19 Financial Assistance – this number is up from the year prior.
  • 9 Agency referrals – they know and work well with other agencies in the county to get seniors the help they need.
  • The number of people escorted has gone down to 127.  She stated that with the dialysis center coming to Wauseon, it has decreased miles tremendously by not going to Toledo or Bryan as often. She further noted that the Health Center is getting many specialists.   32,029 miles have been driven to escorting seniors to medical appointments, obtaining prescriptions, and other essential services. 100,967 miles total were driven for meal delivery, escort, and transportation to sites.  This does not included miles driven by volunteers that have used their own vehicle.   968 requests resulted in 847 trips.
  • 168 individuals have received housekeeping services, which is up from the previous year, however the hours of services has been reduced.
  • Grant dollars received this year has gone down.  Last year they received dollars in the middle of the year and she is hoping for the same in 2010.
  • In 2009, 85% of their funding came from taxes, 13% from donations, and 2% from grant funding
  • There have been 50 appointments for free legal assistance as they have an attorney that is at the Wauseon site every fourth Tuesday of the month. 
  • Tax services are also offered, those numbers have gone down.
  • The total number of home delivered meals are up to 43,242 for the year and congregate meals are up to 19,236.  She stated in some areas the delivered meals are down, however in that area, the site numbers are up.
  • They have received $952.80 in stimulus funding.
  • She noted that they are promoting the Toledo Seagate Food Bank and have been taking applications.  Marcy Kaptur has issued a press conference, but otherwise has not been made publicly well-known.  There is an income requirement, but otherwise, all that is needed is to fill out an application.  This program will consist of the applicant receiving a 40-50 box of food that they must be prepared to load themselves.  It will consist of cereal, a cheese product, fruit, vegetables, pasta or rice, and a meat product.  The first distribution is set for February 22, 2010 at that the veteran’s pavilion and applications will be taken at the Jr. Fair Building.  The maximum number of units available each month is 2,000.  Commissioner Genter stated that she should advertise in all of the local papers to make everyone eligible aware of this program.
