FACT: Auto accidents claimed the lives of2 2,439 American teens in 2012, this wasl less than half the number recorded in 2002. This can be attributed in part to some states adopting stricter driver licensing standards and mandatory driver education.

This annual process provides for compiling statistics and reviewing policies and procedures in order to assess the quality oft the service and make improvements where needed. Information is based on fiscal year 2014-15. Scope of Services Stanly County Senior Services Department offers LevelIh home management and Level II home management and personal care as well as respite care (level I or II) to qualified Stanly County residents age 60+. Services are generally offered once or twice per week for 2-4 hours at at time depending upon client need and worker availability. We also provide Level III care in some cases (primarily respite situations) through our home-care contracts. All aides have annual TB skin tests, annual blood-borne pathogens training, and regular in-service training on topics related to the job. The Programs Supervisor is responsible for competency testing, in-service training, and supervision ofa agency aides. We continue to sub-contract with local home care agencies toj provide substitute aides as well as providing services for on-going clients using funds from United Way, HCCBG, and county money. This year we contracted with four home care agencies: Bayada Home Health Care, Home Instead Senior Care, ResCare Homecare, and' TLC at Home. These contracts were awarded based on interest sheets sent out in the spring to all local home care agencies. Contract aides provided a total of 13,115 hours of direct client service during the fiscal year (79%) compared to 3425 hours (21%) for our staffaides. Referrals are received from and made to DSS, Hospice, Independent Living and home health agencies, as well as other SSD programs. Client Data A total of 113 cases representing 139 unduplicated clients received 16,540 hours of direct service in FY2015 (97% of our original goal and a 13% increase over. FY14). Approximately 59% of the hours provided were Level I (home management or respite) with the other 41% representing Level II or III services (home management with personal care, or respite). We are not required to get specific financial information from clients, but only document whether they are above or below the poverty level. In FY15, 12% of clients served reported income below the poverty level. Based on past history, the majority oft the others have income just above the poverty level amounts. Minorities accounted for 14% of our clients. As expected, single women continue to make up the majority of our cases (57%), but we also havea By nature oft the service, In-Home Aide Services tends to be aj program for the "old-old." Sixteen percent of our clients were age 85-89, and another 12% were age 90+, The 75-84 age range accounted for 40% with the remaining 32% under age 75. (The 60-64 age bracket accounts for only 5% oft the total, but these are generally some oft the frailest clients as they became significant number of single men (20%) and intact couples (23%). disabled at a younger age). 1 Clients receiving service were residents ofall areas oft the county with 50% from Albemarle and vicinity, 19% from western Stanly (Oakboro, Stanfield, Locust as well as Millingport and Finger), 18% from northern Stanly (Badin, NewL London, Richfield), and 13% Total consumer contributions were down slightly this year with a total reported of $8313 (an average of 50 cents per hour ofservice). While this rate is not very high, it iss still one oft the highest collection rates ini the region. By federal regulation, all consumer contributions are used in the program for which they were given sO we estimate. anticipated contributions in our annual budget and adjust services up or down according to what is actually collected. Services were terminated for 28 clients during the year, Six oft these clients went to assisted living or nursing facilities while 7 were terminated due to death. Five began receiving other services. Oft the other ten, two started getting private help, one moved out oft the county, and one had family move in with them. For the first time, we had six clients who simply decided they didn'twant the service anymore. Most oft these only had one or two visits before changing their minds. Reasons given were being afraid their dog would bite the aide, having remodeling done on house and too much "mess" to deal with, and just wanting to try it for themselves awhile longer. Some clients have a hard time accepting help and letting a stranger into their home to provide care, especially ift they have been highly independent in the past. Length ofs service for these clients ranged from 1 month to 10 years. Overall average was 3.9 years of service. (Those who went to nursing home/assisted living averaged 4.25 years ofs service before from southern Stanly (Norwood, Aquadale and Cottonville). placement... quite aj potential savings to Medicaid!) As ofJ June 30, 2015 there were 74 potential clients on the waiting list going back to requests made in August 2013 (a 22-month wait). This represents a 35% drop in the waiting list, inj part by adding new clients and inj part by updating the list to remove those who had died or gone to facilities. The average wait is 5 months less than last year's report. Funding The primary funding source for IHS in the FY 2015 budget was the Home and Community Care Block Grant-HCCBG (federal and state money) with $218,258 allocated to IHS out of the total IHS budget of $409,342 (53%). Second was the County with $129,512 (32%). Other funding included the United Way with $51,972 (13%), and Consumer Contributions and Private Donations of $9600 (2%). Actual figures varied somewhat due to cuts in United Way ($2960) and HCCBG ($4465)after the budget was approved, but we had started the year with a significant increase in HCCBG funds allocated to this program over FY14, so this United Way operates on a calendar year basis sO we never know when we prepare our county budget how much we will receive from United Way for the second half of our fiscal year. In. January 2015 we received a decrease resulting in $2960 less than the budgeted amount for FY15. The report we received from United Way did not indicate any deficiencies in our request, but simply the addition of more agencies to the United Way family sO that each existing agency is faced with al little less oft the pie. We are grateful for United Way' 's continued recognition of the importance ofIn-Home Services to our seniors and their families and their efforts to help us softened the blow ofthe later cuts. continue to meet the ever-growing needs of this frail population. 2 Policies and Procedures Policies and procedures for IHS as well as Blood-Borne Pathogens Policiesa and procedures are reviewed annually and any changes are discussed with the IHA's. No major Last year we reported that the state Division of Aging and Adult Services (DAAS) had convened a committee to revise the IHS standards which had not been updated since 1992. The Programs Supervisor is on this committee which has been meeting monthly since February 2014. There are still a couple of huge unresolved issues conçerning who can supervise Level II aides and who needs to do client assessments and care plans. Part oft the problem stems from the Division ofHealth Services Regulations (DHSR) INTERPRETING the homecare licensure rules to say that an RN is required for ANY case involving personal care. This is in spite of the fact that their rules clearly define an "Appropriate Professional" as "an RN or a person who meets the qualifications as social worker by Office of State Personnel." After meeting for over a year and ahalf, there has still been no resolution on this issue. Division directors at the state level have scheduled multiple meetings which never took place and now the state DSS Directors Association has alsoj joined the fray to try to get ar resolution. Meanwhile, our committee continues to meet and decide smaller issues. In August 2015 wel hope to actually begin writing the proposed new standards! We anticipate at least another year oft these monthly meetings. In light oft the current DHSR licensure interpretation and subsequent DAAS monitoring instructions, we elected to add RN assessment visits for Level II clients to our home care contracts for FY15. This is a stop-gap measure until the standards are revised and we know what will actually be required in the future. The contract agencies have all been very good to work changes in policy occurred this year. with during this transition time. Staffing Patterns Our staff was stable this year with 2 full-time aides and 1 part-time aide who havea a combined 36+ years ofexperience in the job. Contract aides now provide over 3/4 oft the hours of service for our clients. Contracts give us more flexibility in scheduling since we are not limited to when a particular staffaide has a vacancy in starting a new client and we do not have to worry about aides being out. The downside to contract service is that there is little or no contact between SSD: staff and the contract aide, thus limiting reports of changes in client condition or indications ofadditional services needed. Contract RN's and schedulers for the most part keep us informed ofmajor changes in client's conditions, but things still: fall through the cracks. Turnover in contract agencies also can be a problem with clients not having the continuity of care they would get from our staff. Still, having the contracts has allowed us to position ourselves for the transition into the "new model" ofcare ifmore RN involvement is eventually As the program has grown and added requirements it has been harder and harder for the Programs Supervisor to keep up with all the required home visits as well as additional duties in the office. With the additional HCCBG money at the beginning ofFY 15, we contracted with StaffMasters to provide a part-time "temp" social worker to assist both IHS and Home- Delivered Meals with home visits and other tasks. This addition has been a big success as evidenced by the increase in units and clients this year. The part-time social worker has done a portion oft the reviews on existing clients which has freed up the Programs Supervisor tol handle required in standards 3 more "problem" situations and to add new clients in a more timely fashion when vacancies occur. The part-time social worker also updated the waiting list to remove those who no longer needed the service resulting in a truer picture ofthose waiting for service. We have continued this arrangement into FY16 where it will be even more critical since the Programs Supervisor has become a certified SHIIP counselor inj preparation for our department taking over this program from Cooperative Extension July l"and will have yet another hat to wear. Evaluation of Services IHS was monitored by Centralina AAA this year and no deficiencies were found. We monitored all 4 ofthe contract agencies according to the requirements set forth by state and regional staff. This is a very time-intensive process due to the amount ofi information on the contract aides that is required by the state. Overall, the contract agencies adhere to the standards. Where errors were found it was in things that are specific tol HCCBG that even Medicaid doesn't require. We did notice improvement in these areas over last year'sn monitoring. The agencies seem eager to do what is required as long as they are clear on what is required. The muddle of We continue to do an annual client satisfaction survey in the spring. The client satisfaction survey was done by phone this year (the part-time social worker did the calls). There was a near 100% participation rate. Sixty-eight per cent oft the clients rated the service received as" "excellent" with 24% rating it as "satisfactory. " There were 5 ratings of work being "uneven, sometimes good, sometimes not" (all for contract aides) but no one said that work was 'unsatisfactory, does not do a good job." Clients who had contract aides generally rated them favorably but they did not rate as high as the SSD staff and the gap between the two was wider than in recent years. ("Excellent" ratings were given by 86% ofSSD staffclients versus 62% of contract staff clients). Clients generally found their aides to be "honest and trustworthy,' dependable, ?2 "caring," and' hard-working." Agency administrative staff from Senior Services also rated very high with the Programs Supervisor receiving a 93% "excellent" rating from all clients and other Senior Services Staffl having an 81% "excellent" rating from the clients served by SSD: staff aides. By contrast, the contract agencies only had a 29% "excellent" rating from contract aide clients with 44% saying they were "satisfactory" and 5% saying "efficient but not very caring" and another 5% saying they don'talways call me regarding changes and sometimes let me fall through the cracks." These comments will be addressed with the agencies, particularly those who received more than one such comment, but overall it is indicative ofthe level ofcontrol given up by going to contract staff. Clients commented that the best thing about the service is helping me: remain in my home," "doing thingsIcan't," "staff who are loving and the standards and' 'interpretations" has been hard on them as well as us. caring," and "Everything!!" Family Caregiver Support Program (FCSP) In addition to our regular, on-going In-Home Aide Services, we continue to offer short- term respite through the Family Caregiver Support Program. The FCSP is funded by 75% federal money and 25% state match, sO no additional county funds are required to fund the program. Respite is approved for short-term or emergency relief for unpaid family caregivers (not to exceed 120 hours per fiscal year). There is great flexibility in hours, shifts, and frequency of respite through this program. Services are provided through the same 4 home care agencies as In-Home Aide Services. In addition, we have a small contract with CARE Café to provide group respite for two clients for up to: six months each. Despite its proven benefits to caregivers, FCSP 4 remains a very small program with ai total budget for FY15 of $24,054. After the county budget was approved, we received an increase of $2391 in the FCSP grant, making the amount available aw whopping $26,445. Out oft this tiny budget a total of1 15 unduplicated caregivers received 919 hours ofrespite. (Note: These clients and hours are over and above the IHS hours Ina addition, 3 families received 102 four-hour days of group respite through the CARE Café, 31 families received a total of366 bags ofi incontinence supplies, and caregiver training was offered on a variety oftopics, including a six-week evidenced-based course "Powerful Tools for Caregivers." Over 100 free Caregiver Information Packets were also distributed. The 124 Annual CareFest was conducted with 25 agency vendors represented and 140 people in attendance.

Conclusion The County can be proud of the services provided to our frail older adults through the In- Home Aide and Family Caregiver Support Programs. Our staffIn-Home Aides are among the lowest paid county employees but the County would be hard-pressed toi find any employee more dedicated tot their clients. While contract service loses ini the way of continuity and communication, overall the service provided is still quite good and much appreciated by the While we did not see the government shut down of the previous fiscal year, FY 15 saw increases in HCCBG and FCSP, then later cuts in HCCBG and United Way, sO the roller coaster offunding continues. We have been told not to expect any great increases inl HCCBG, and there is potential of more cuts, but we are hopeful that the reauthorization oft the Older Americans Act (approved by the Senate and currently pending in the House) will provide more visibility and renewed commitment to supporting our seniors in remaining at home as long as possible. United Way has been oftremendous assistance in funding to reduce the waiting list, but this funding is year to year and we realize we are competing with other crucial services for shrinking donation dollars. Friends oft the Senior Center has also stepped up at times to provide funds which are much appreciated, but they are not equipped to provide on-going support. The County also has a history of being very supportive oft the Senior Services Department and its programs for which we are very grateful. Besides the obvious human aspect, this service makes financial sense. If we can postpone assisted living or nursing home placement for a month or two we have potentially saved enough taxpayer money to fund IHS to a client for ayear and ini the process clients. allowed them to stay where they most want to be... ini their own home.

ITEMTO BE CONSIDERED The Stanly County Animal Control Program would like to purchase 3 double cat containment cages for the shelter. These cages are designed with special features to promote more efficient cleaning of cages and safer removal/placement of cats by Animal Control staff. Projected cost is $2,470.00. The Animal Control Program also requests funding for semi-annual maintenance for the HVAC systems installed last year and annual maintenance for the cooler unit. This will help prolong the systems' efficient function. Projected cost is $1,960. Funding is also requested to add to and modify fencing for an animal observation and exercise area at a projected cost of $1,640.00. These fence modifications are necessary to meet NC Department of Agriculture requirements for shelters. Funding for these items were not included in the department's FY15-16 budget and we would like to utilize Animal Control's designated fund balance for these expenses. This fund balance is currently $96,287. Request approval to amend the FY15-16 Animal Control budget and appropriate $6,070 from the Animal Control designated fund balance.
