EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A. NARRATIVE:
The Area Agency on Aging 1-B (AAA 1-B) is a non-profit organization that is
responsible for services to more than 435,000 persons age 60 and older residing
in Livingston, Macomb, Monroe, Oakland, St. Clair, and Washtenaw counties.
The AAA 1-B is dedicated to: 1) advocating on issues of concern to older
persons; 2) allocating federal and state funds for social and nutrition services; 3)
developing new older adult service programs; 4) coordinating activities with other
public and private organizations; and 5) assessing the needs of persons who are
disabled or older and/or their caregivers linking them to a network of community-
based long term care services. The AAA 1-B prioritizes activities that allow older
persons to maintain their independence with dignity and places a special
emphasis on assistance to frail, low-income, disadvantaged, and minority elders.
The AAA 1-B was created in 1974 in response to the 1973 amendments to the
Older Americans Act (OAA), which called for the creation of regional planning
and allocation agencies to bring structure to the delivery of social and nutritional
services to older adults. The OAA and the Michigan Legislature provide funding
to the Michigan Office of Services to the Aging and area agencies on aging that
is allocated to provider organizations in accordance with an Area Agency on
Aging's approved Annual Implementation Plan. In 2006, the OAA was
reauthorized and amended by adding language specifically directing that an area
agency on aging's Area Plan shall:
1. provide that the area agency on aging shall, consistent with this section,
facilitate the area-wide development and implementation of a comprehensive,
coordinated system for providing long-term care in home and community-
based settings, in a manner responsive to the needs and preferences of older
individuals and their family caregivers, by—
a, collaborating, coordinating, and consulting with other local public and
private agencies and organizations responsible for administering
programs, benefits, and services related to providing long-term care;
b. conducting analyses, making recommendations, and implementing
programs with respect to strategies for modifying the local system of long-
term care to better—
(1) respond to the needs and preferences of older individuals and family
caregivers;
(2) facilitate the provision, through service providers, of long-term care in
home and community-based settings; and

The development of a comprehensive and coordinated service delivery system is
facilitated by the AAA 1-B through partnerships with a diverse array of private
and non-profit organizations dedicated to delivering quality services to older
persons. While the existing array of services is broad, the system is
characterized by a level of demand for assistance among the region's older adult
population that exceeds the supply of most services. This disparity is unfortunate
and harmful because of the preventive nature of many AAA 1-B funded services.
Thus, insufficiently funded services force many older persons to add their names
to wait lists, go without needed help, experience avoidable health problems, and
seek assistance through more costly and less desirable alternatives such as
nursing home care. The poor local economy and liberal lending policies have put
an increasing number of older home owners at risk of mortgage foreclosure, and
pending reductions in Medicare home care benefits will likely result in more
Medicare home care patients seeking in-home assistance quicker and sicker.
The AAA 1-B plans to address this problem by educating decision makers about
the importance and need for older adult services, and identifying opportunities for
partnerships with other public and private resources, including disability
organizations and advocates for adults with a disability. In order to expand and
enhance older adult services in the areas of health, housing, transportation,
social and nutritional services, and long term care the AAA 1-B seeks to develop
collaborative partnerships that will result in additional resources and increased
sensitivity of other service delivery systems toward the unique needs of older
adults. Medicaid long term care policies which promote the principles of "Money
Follows the Person" will also facilitate greater choice for consumers. Additional
efforts will focus on improving access to needed community resources for
targeted populations by working more closely with senior centers, local

governments, naturally occurring retirement communities and LGBT (lesbian,
gay, bi-sexual, and transgender), religious, cultural, ethnic, and minority
organizations. While access and in-home services are a high priority, we also
work to enhance opportunities to strengthen other community services, including
senior centers to engage in wellness and prevention activities. Greater attention
to older adult quality of life issues such as civic engagement, end of life issues,
and elder friendly communities will also be addressed.
The Michigan Department of Community Health is committed to implementing
recommendations of the Governor's Medicaid Long Term Care Task Force
(June, 2005), which call for systems change through policies that will facilitate
consumer choice, rebalancing, money follows the person, and person-centered
planning. The AAA 1-B's role in long-term care is to serve as an impartial,
service-neutral access point by providing information, assessing needs, and
distributing funds to support direct services to consumers. We accomplish this
goal by serving as a MI Choice Waiver Agent, and providing Community Care
Management and Information and Assistance. We also provide leadership in
supporting an Aging Network of provider agencies that serve older adults and
adults with disabilities. State plans to develop Single Points of Entry for long
term care present further opportunities and challenges for the Aging Network.
We shall work to strengthen the capacity to deliver services that are responsive
to consumer needs, and improve coordination with other health and long term
care systems. The AAA 1-B is positioned to serve as the Single Point of Entry
for the region's six counties, and will continue to provide leadership for the Aging
Network in developing high quality, consumer-friendly community-based
programs and services.
A detailed description of the AAA 1-B goals and objectives for 2008 are
described in Section III.

Narrative: CHANGES TO PROPOSED 2008 AIP BASED ON PUBLIC HEARING TESTIMONY
Comments from the community as part of the public hearing process were provided as follows: 1) at the June 1, 2007
hearing, 2) by mail and e-mail, and 3) during a live call-in radio show. The comments can be categorized into two general
areas: 1) support for very specific aspects of the plan, and 2) discussion of needed advocacy, funding, and program
development to expand services for older persons and family caregivers.
As a result of the comments received at the public hearings, the following changes were made to the proposed 2008 AIP:
In the I. Executive Summary Narrative section, the statement describing regional needs and issues was amended
to include the following sentence: "The poor local economy and liberal lending policies have put an increasing
number of older home owners at risk of mortgage foreclosure, and pending reductions in Medicare home care
benefits will likely result in more Medicare home care patients seeking in-home assistance quicker and sicker."
In the I. Executive Summary Narrative section, the following two statements describing strategies to address
identified needs were added: "Medicaid long term care policies which promote the principles of Money Follows the

as civic engagement, end of life issues, and elder friendly communities will also be addressed."
In the I. Executive Summary Narrative section, LGBT (lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, and transgender) organizations were
added to the list of organizations targeted for improvement in consumer access to services.
In the I. Executive Summary Narrative section, disability organizations and advocates for adults with a disability
were added to the list of entities the AAA 1-B plans to collaborate with for advocacy and problem solving initiatives.
In addition, the following Program Development objectives were added:

Narrative: SUMMARY OF PUBLIC HEARING TESTIMONY
The following is a summary of the comments provided at the Area Agency on Aging 1-B (AAA 1-B) June 1, 2007 public
hearing on the proposed FY 2008 Annual Implementation Plan:
ArAea
gency on
Ad 4 gIAVAging " FY 2008 Annual Implementation Plan
Access
• Older adult testimony discussed the need for increasing in-home assistance because she is on the AAA 1-B wait list
for in-home services, and due to lack of funding, it will be about a year before she will receive assistance. Testimony
advocated that funding be transferred from other programs into in-home services so that older adults on the wait list
can receive needed assistance.
• Service provider testimony speculated that new Medicare home care program changes effective January 1, 2008 will
reduce the amount of home care services provided, and result in more patients discharged from home care quicker
and sicker. This may place greater demands on AAA 1-B funded in-home services, and other supportive services.
Testimony stressed the importance of advocates knowing the rights of Medicare beneficiaries to challenge "early
discharges" from home health care agencies, and assist beneficiaries to assert their rights.
• Older adult testimony expressed support for elder friendly communities. Many older adults are isolated due to how
their communities are structured (i.e. lack of infrastructure that accommodates the needs of older adults). Testimony
indicated that senior centers could serve as the focal point of an elder friendly community.
• Older adult testimony expressed concern over the bureaucracy involved in securing long term care services.
Testimony indicated a desire to streamline the screening/intake/enrollment process.
Advocacy
• Service provider testimony expressed concern that specific advocacy activities that fully address the needs of older
adults were not included in the Plan. There is a great need for advocacy on behalf of and with older adults to help
them secure the services they need to meet their unique needs.
Civic Engagement
• Senior Center Testimony expressed concern about the Plan's lack of attention to civic engagement of older adults.
Older adults are a great untapped resource and there will be many benefits to individuals and the community that
would come from a greater level of civic engagement among older adults.
Area Agency AA goina
Advocacy • Action • Ancor., on Avog FY 2008 Annual Implementation Plan
Collaboration
• Service provider testimony strongly agreed with the Plan's proposal to educate decision makers about the importance
and need for older adult services and the need to identify opportunities for partnerships with other public and private
resources. Such collaborative partnerships will result in additional resources and increased sensitivity of other service
delivery systems toward the unique needs of older adults.
Elder Abuse
• Service provider testimony supported allocation of funding for elder abuse education and prevention activities included
in the Plan. Testimony also recommended advocating for national and state Elder Justice legislation to strengthen
laws against financial exploitation and other forms of elder abuse.
End-of-Life Care
• Older adult written testimony expressed concern about the need for a more humane and dignified method of dying for
individuals with terminal disease or physical conditions causing immobility. Testimony stated that individuals should
have a right to a compassionate form of dying, and indicated that there is overwhelming support in the older adult
community for this issue. The right to a humane and dignified way to die would represent achievement of an
individual's final civil right.
Funding
• Service provider testimony stated that since FY 2008 will be a year of significant state funding uncertainty and possible
hardship, the AAA 1-B should focus on maintaining funding for existing service programs, and not work to establish
new programs that would require public funding.
• Service provider testimony recommended forging collaborative partnerships to advocate for new revenue solutions to
the state's budget problems that maximize resources and allow for the achievement of common goals.
General
• Service provider testimony expressed support for improving access to information and services, improving
transportation, preventing elder abuse, and training network staff on critical aging issues as addressed in the Plan.
IV-5
Area
Agency on
i/ANNAging " FY 2008 Annual Implementation Plan
Health & Wellness
• Service provider testimony indicated a need for mental health counseling for older adults. Medicare requires a 50%
co-pay, which makes mental health counseling unaffordable for many older adults. Consequently, there is a gap in
service for older adults in need of these services. Testimony also indicated a need to advocate for insurance coverage
parity so that mental health conditions and physical health conditions are covered equally.
• Service provider testimony stated a desire for the AAA 1-B to fund provision of evidence-based health promotion
programming. Demographic projections indicating a dramatic increase in the older adult population support the need
for evidence-based programs to forestall the disease and disability often associated with aging. At a time when fiscal
resources are strained, it makes sense to fund programs aimed at promoting healthy lifestyles, which have the
potential to save millions of dollars in health care and nursing home costs.
• Service provider testimony advocated for recognizing the importance of wellness activities offered by senior centers
and other aging service providers that help older adults make healthy lifestyle changes and allow them to better
manage their health care.
• Service provider testimony expressed support for increasing resources for the Senior Wellness Fund so that local
senior centers can receive funds to develop senior wellness, fitness, and health prevention programs.
Housing
• Service provider testimony indicated that mortgage foreclosure is a growing problem affecting many older adults.
Testimony indicated that many troubled individuals are in their redemption time period and possibly headed toward
foreclosure, so the extent of the problem is difficult to document. Estimates are that in Washtenaw County they will
see about one older adult foreclosure per week. Solutions recommended to address this problem included increasing
mortgage rescue funds, training more HUD housing counselors, passing legislation banning predatory lending, and
working with lending institutions to convert improper predatory loans to realistic fixed rate loans with tax and insurance
escrows.
• Service provider testimony indicated a need for improved housing education for older adults that addresses fair
housing laws, financing options, predatory lending practices, and tenant rights.
IV-6
Area A Agency on
ZAX Aging " FY 2008 Annual Implementation Plan
Long Term Care
• Older adult testimony expressed concern over the quality of nursing home care, in particular the care provided to
dementia patients. Testimony indicated inadequate training for nursing home staff on care for dementia patients.
Concern was also expressed regarding insufficient staffing levels.
• Service provider testimony expressed support for helping older adults remain in their homes as long as possible.
Affordable home repair is critical to achieving this goal. Affordable and accessible transportation is also essential as it
allows older adults to shop, socialize, attend health care appointments, and remain independent.
• Service provider testimony recommended emphasizing "Money Follows the Person" in the Plan, which allows publicly
funded long-term care recipients to receive care in the setting of their choice. The money allocated for care, therefore,
is tied to the person and not to the location where service is provided.
Senior Center Support
• Senior Center testimony expressed support for the Plan's proposal to engage in collaborative activities to strengthen
senior centers, and advocated that the AAA 1-B role be expanded to include restoration of AAA 1-B funding for senior
centers. Efforts should emphasize maintenance of health and well-being for those who do not currently need
supportive services. Senior centers are well positioned to play a lead role in this effort and serve as a focal point for
providing services, information, and assistance at the local level.
• Senior center testimony expressed concern that funding for senior centers was not included in the Plan. Senior
centers play a vital role in helping older adults stay active and remain healthy, which ultimately reduces the
demand/need for long-term care services such as those typically funded by the Plan.
Special Populations
• Service provider testimony advocated for educating health care providers on the use of deaf and hearing impaired
interpreters as an accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Critical to effective and efficient
communication in a medical setting for hearing impaired older adults is the use of qualified/certified interpreters.
Area
Agency on
Acl g Aging " FY 2008 Annual Implementation Plan
• Service provider testimony advocated for home and community-based services specifically designed to address the
unique needs of deaf/hearing impaired older adults. Presently there are limited supportive services that would assure
them the right to remain in their own homes. Access to these services would decrease dependence on entitlement
programs, provide a barrier to poverty, and act as a deterrent to mental deterioration thereby encouraging
independence with dignity.
• Older adult testimony expressed strong support for the proposed Deaf senior housing project. Many Deaf and hearing
impaired older adults are isolated within the hearing community. Living in a community that caters to the needs of
Deaf and hearing impaired older adults will improve their quality of life.
• Geriatric student testimony expressed concern that the needs of older lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT)
adults are not addressed in the Plan. Because same sex partnerships are not federally recognized, older LGBT
couples are not afforded the same benefits as married heterosexual couples. Their families of origin also often reject
them, thus resulting in specialized needs for LGBT older adults. Testimony recommended recruiting volunteers
familiar with LGBT issues to serve as volunteers for the AAA 1-B, specifically for the MMAP program.
Transportation
• Older adult testimony indicated a need for older adult transportation for all travel and purposes. Older adults need
transportation for shopping and socializing, not just for travel to and from healthcare appointments.
• Older adult testimony stated support for specialized transportation services for older adults and persons with
disabilities. Such services are vital to keeping people employed, healthy, and alive.

PLANNED ENTREPRENEURIAL ACTIVITIES
Fiscal Year: 2008
The Area Agency on Aging 1-B engages in four areas of entrepreneurial activity to raise
dollars to support the mission of the agency.
The first area of entrepreneurial activity is fundraising to raise money in the community
to support the Holiday Meals on Wheels program and the Unmet Needs program. Each
year the agency raises money for these programs through a combination of direct mail
solicitation, corporate donations and small local fundraising events. In 2008, the AAA 1-
B is projected to raise $50,000 in revenue to support the continuation of these
necessary programs.
A second area of entrepreneurial activity assumed by the AAA 1-B is the planning and
implementation of three caregiver fairs held in St. Clair, Oakland or Macomb county,
and Monroe counties each fiscal year to provide access to information and resources
for caregivers of older adults and persons with disabilities. In total, the AAA 1-B raises
approximately $100,000 each year to offset the costs of holding these events and
projects raising a similar amount for 2008.
A third area of entrepreneurial activity undertaken by the AAA 1-B is the garnering of
additional financial support for the aging network in Region 1-B through collaborative
proposal-writing. The amount raised each fiscal year is dependent on the number of
grants specific to initiatives within the aging network and the success of the application.
In fiscal year 2006, the AAA 1-B collaborated in the development of eleven proposals
that raised approximately $1.16 million, and a similar number of proposals is projected
for 2008.
Lastly, the AAA 1-B will continue to explore opportunities to work with public and private
health care providers to ensure that comprehensive long-term care options are available
for older adults.

Direct provision of this service is required to

Medicaid beneficiaries so that they are able to
access the benefits to which they are entitled. It
is anticipated that the demand on the AAA 1-B
will continue to substantially increase because of
the need to provide assistance with the new
Medicare prescription drug benefit (Part D).
In FY 2006, the AAA 1-B Medicare Medicaid
Assistance Program (MMAP) assisted 29,540
beneficiaries, exceeding FY 2005's total of
service by over 700 percent. This large increase
was due to the implementation of Medicare Part
D. Beneficiaries turned to the AAA 1-B MMAP for
