This document is being sent to you in accordance with a directive from the
Michigan Office of Services to the Aging, which allows each County Board of

DATE: July 1, 2009
SUBJECT: FY2010-12 MYP Budget Update
in the past six weeks, the Area Agency on Aging 1-B has been notified of
more than $1 million in funding reductions. The enclosed revised budget
reflects a 15% reduction in state funding, as follows:
The Governor's Executive Order reduced state funding for the fourth
quarter of FY2009 by $317,000, and the initial funding plan for FY2010
reduced spending by an additional $750,000.
• The nutrition program, which includes home delivered meals and
congregate meal sites, was reduced by $408,000. Fortunately, the
President's stimulus program will provide an additional $630,000 to the
nutrition program through December 31, 2010.
• Social service programs have also been severely impacted. A
selected list of reductions include:
Care Management $136,000

support and has already made staffing reductions and other spending
changes to accommodate the current funding environment.

I. 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 546,000 persons age 60 and older and persons with disabilities 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 and persons with disabilities;
2) allocating federal and state funds for social and nutrition services; 3) ensuring access to a
network of long term care services; 4)developing new older adult and independent living
service programs; 5) coordinating activities with other public and private organizations; and 6)
assessing the needs of older persons and persons with disabilities and linking them with
needed community-based long term care services. The AAA 1-B prioritizes activities that allow
older persons and persons with disabilities to maintain their independence with dignity and
places a special emphasis on assistance to frail, low-income, disadvantaged, and minority
elders and persons with disabilities.
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 can be allocated to provider organizations in
accordance with an Area Agency on Aging's approved Annual Implementation Plan.
This Annual Implementation Plan proposes to support the following array of services that allow
older persons and persons with disabilities to maintain their independence with dignity, and
provide access to their entitled benefits:
Adult Day Health Service Home Delivered Meals Nursing Facility Transition Services
. Care Management i Home Injury Control Nursing Home Diversion
Chore Homemaking Out-of Home Respite
Congregate Meals Information & Assistance Personal Care
Elder Abuse Prevention In-Home Respite Resource Advocacy
Family Caregiver Services Legal Assistance Transportation _ —
Grandparents Raising Long Term Care Ombudsman Vision Services
Grandchildren
Health Benefits Education Medication Management Volunteer Caregiver
Unmet Needs
Hearing Assistance National Family Caregiver
Support Program
The development of a comprehensive and coordinated service delivery system has been
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 and persons with
disabilities. 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 and disabled population that exceeds
the supply of most services. This disparity is unfortunate and harmful because of the
preventive nature of many AAA 1-B services. Thus, insufficient or closed 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, in some cases, less desirable
institutional alternatives.
The AAA 1-B plans to address this problem by educating decision makers about the
importance, need, and value of person-centered community based services, and identifying
opportunities for partnerships with other public and/or private resources to expand services in
fiscal year 2010. Plans to expand and enhance older adult services in the areas of health,
housing, transportation, social and nutritional services, and long term care call for the
development of collaborative partnerships that will result in additional resources and increased
sensitivity of other service delivery systems toward the unique needs of older adults and
persons with disabilities. Additional efforts will focus on improving access to needed
community resources for targeted populations by working more closely with senior centers,
local governments and religious, cultural, ethnic, and minority organizations. While in-home,
access and respite services are a high priority, opportunities to strengthen other community
services, and enhance the role of senior centers to engage in wellness and prevention
activities, are included
The AAA 1-5 promotes the significant role that the Aging Network plays in providing high
quality community-based long term care supports and services for older adults and persons
with a disability. The AAA 1-B role serves as an impartial, service-neutral access point by
providing information, assessing needs, and distributing funds to support direct services to
consumers. To reinforce this role, the AAA 1-B serves as a MI Choice Waiver Agent, provides
Community Care Management, and continues to develop Nursing Home Diversion skills.
The AAA 1-B is on the forefront of many new initiatives including person centered approaches
to care, working with Medicare Advantage Organizations and the Veterans Administration, new
menu options for home delivered meals, targeted trainings for aging professionals and
implementation of a new technology solution, called Harmony, for the region.
B. FY 2010 Planned Services Summary Narrative
The AAA 1-B anticipates, based on the proposed FY 2010 budget negotiation, that there is a
potential for the loss of federal and state funds in FY 2010. In addition to the state and federal
cuts for respite services sustained in FY 2009, which may not be recouped in FY 2010, the
AAA 1-B is planning for further decreases in state escheats funding and a 15% loss in OSA
funding for FY 2010. These decreases are noted in the budget in Section II, The remaining
services are budgeted at maintenance levels, to the extent that funding will allow,

The Region 1-B older adult population will experience consistent growth from 2010-2015, with
the age 60+ population growth totaling approximately 100,571 individuals, and county growth
rates increased from 14.7% to 24.2%. While figures are not available, the growth rates for
minorities and individuals with a disability are expected to continue the pattern set from 1990 to
2000, when they also exceeded the growth rates of the general population. While the older
adult population is growing at a 3-4% annual rate, public adoption of more healthy lifestyles
has decreased the level of disability among the older adult population. A Duke University
analysis of data from the National Health Longitudinal Study found a 25% reduction in age-
adjusted disability over a 17-year period. Thus, one could reason that the decreasing disability
rate will partially offset an expected increase in demand for services related to population
growth, resulting in net annual increases in demand for services of between 1% and 1.5% for
the six county region.

The purpose of each community forum was to provide older adults, family caregivers, agency
representatives, elected officials, and other interested parties with an opportunity to discuss
the needs and concerns of older persons. Participants were invited to provide testimony on
unmet needs, and influence the establishment of priorities for older adult services. The forum
testimony serves as a basis for development of the AAA 1-B's Fiscal Year 2010-12 Multi Year
Plan, which distributes over $20 million in federal Older Americans Act and state funds to
support a range of social, nutritional, access, and long-term care services.
MACOMB COUNTY COMMUNITY FORUM
On February 26, 2009, a Community Forum on the Needs of Older Adults was held in Macomb
County, Michigan, at the Macomb County Department of Senior Citizen Services. Thirty
individuals attended the forum, including three older adults, three elected officials (or their
representatives), and 24 agency representatives or other interested parties.
TESTIMONY SUMMARY
TRANSPORTATION
Service provider testimony expressed a concern regarding the fragmented transportation
system and limited services options, especially in cases where people needed to cross city or
county boundary lines.
Service provider testimony indicated that requests for transportation are up 40%. Also, the
agency has seen more requests from those with mental handicaps, further indicating that with

the increase in baby boomers with adult disabled children, this need for transportation will
continue.
Service provider testimony expressed concern with drivers that are cognitively impaired and
questioned what resources were available to assist with getting unsafe drivers off the road.
CAREGIVING
Older adult testimony indicated trouble affording home care for their spouse at the level
needed to care for him at home.
Service provider testimony expressed the need to continue to "blast out" information regarding
resources for caregivers through a variety of means.
SERVICE COORDINATION
Service provider testimony suggested the need for greater collaboration and coordination
among the providers in the aging network to the extent that there would be a "no wrong door"
approach to receiving information regarding resources.
Service provider testimony indicated the need for better collaboration among agencies. Some
callers and stressed caregivers "hit a brick wall" and do not know where to turn next for the
resources and information they need.
Services provider testimony suggested that coordinating additional funding streams is needed
to expand services to meet community needs such as Meals on Wheels.
LONG TERM CARE
Elected official testimony questioned what was being done for middle-income seniors to stay in
their homes. Testimony expressed concern that most programs were focused on lower-
income elderly, leaving those with "too much, but not enough" income without options.
Service provider testimony suggested looking to reverse mortgages for assistance with paying
for long term care at home.
Written testimony shared a concern regarding the distribution of Social Security, namely that
each spouse should receive checks, even after one of the spouses dies. It is difficult to live on
one check because the amount is so small.
WASHTENAW COUNTY COMMUNITY FORUM
On February 26, 2009, a Community Forum on the Needs of Older Adults was held in
Washtenaw County, Michigan, at the Ann Arbor Center for Independent Living. Twenty-four
individuals attended the forum, including two older adults, one elected official, and 21 agency
representatives or other interested parties.

TESTIMONY SUMMARY
NUTRITION
Service provider testimony stated that more funding is needed to expand Meals on Wheels.
More people are asking for mileage reimbursement with the economic downturn. Also
suggested that in order to attract more volunteers, increased mileage reimbursement is
needed to include the meal delivery territory, not just mileage to the meal site and home.
Furthermore, more funding is needed to be able to reimburse meals for persons under age 60,
in order to address the growing number of permanently disabled under 60.
Service provider testimony suggested developing infrastructure to address the 'dead zone"
areas that are not receiving meals.
Service provider testimony indicated the need for more funding and less restrictive dietary
guidelines to be able to provide culturally appropriate meals.
TRANSPORTATION
Older adult testimony suggested that transportation needs to be improved in all of the AAA 1-B
service area, including better transportation options to area senior centers.
Service provider testimony suggested targeting advocacy and education efforts at township
boards encouraging them to provide leadership in their townships to move toward countywide
or regional transportation.
HOUSING
Service provider testimony commented on the need for affordable housing for seniors. While
subsidized housing is available, more affordable housing options are needed for those who
may not be income-eligible for subsidized options.
Service provider testimony added information regarding the Home Share program through the
Housing Bureau for Seniors. Currently, in the county there are 42 homes with housemates
living in them and helping out the elderly owners. Seniors can use the rent money they charge
to help pay for any additional services they need in order to stay in their homes. However, the
service provider also pointed out that most people still want to stay in their own homes.
Service provider thanked the AAA 1-B for their support of the foreclosure prevention program
started several years ago. Testimony indicated that a relatively new program was started out
of the foreclosure prevention activities, the Relocation Assistance Project. This project
recognizes that every situation is different and complex, and offers one-on-one assistance
including accompanying the client to court. Testimony further suggested that the project could
be expanded into a regional project.

LONG TERM CARE
Older adult testimony commented on the rising costs of health care premiums, from $27 per
month to $76 per month for the same Medicare Part D plan. Testimony stated that even
though the number of medicines was reduced, the plan premiums still increased.
Service provider testimony commented on the gap between what a program costs to
administer and the reimbursement to the program for clients served. This gap in
reimbursement is putting programs at risk that serve low-income people. Testimony indicated
that with the growing population, this problem will only become larger.
Service provider testimony recommended a millage to help fund senior services.
Service provider testimony commented on the increase in chronic illness and dementia in the
patients being seen. Testimony suggested that more emphasis be placed on prevention and
chronic disease management.
RESPITE
Service provider testimony stated that because people are living longer with more chronic
conditions, greater burdens are being put on caregivers. Testimony suggested more money
was needed for emergency respite.
ADVOCACY
Older adult testimony stated that seniors should be able to keep both Social Security checks
as opposed to the current system. Testimony indicated how difficult it has become to live off of
Social Security earnings as they are distributed currently.
Service provider testimony suggested sharing with township boards as well as county
commissioners the benefits of having older adults in their communities. Testimony further
suggested using a consistent and coordinated communication plan so that people are hearing
the same message from different sources repeatedly.
DISABILITIES
Service provider testimony stated that the blind and physically disabled population is a growing
part of the community population, and can sometimes be an isolated constituency.
Older adult testimony stated that hearing loss is the third most important health problem for the
elderly and over 30% experience some hearing loss. Testimony indicated that hearing loss
tends to be ignored both by doctors and seniors, who accept declining hearing as a normal
part of old age. Testimony continued that although hearing aids can provide substantial help,
they are expensive and covered by only a few insurance plans. Older adult expressed
concern that not many doctors tell patients about the hundreds of other products that can
either supplement or replace hearing aids in helping to mitigate the social and psychological
problems resulting from hearing loss.

Written testimony indicated that while hearing loss is the third most prevalent health problem
for the elderly, with over 30% experiencing some loss, it tends to be ignored both by medical
practitioners and by those suffering hearing loss. The advice commonly given to persons
suffering from hearing loss is to get a hearing aid. However, while hearing aids can provide
substantial help, they are expensive and covered by only a few insurance plans.
UNMET NEEDS
Service provider testimony stated the need for in-home counseling services.
Older adult testimony indicated the growing problem of the lack of dental care and oral health
care among the elderly. Medicare does not cover the benefit. Many people who are
homebound or live in nursing homes may not be receiving adequate care.
WAYNE COUNTY COMMUNITY FORUM
On March 2, 2009, a Joint Community Forum on the Needs of Older Adults was held in Wayne
County, Michigan, at The Summit on the Park. Forty-eight individuals attended the forum,
including nine older adults and 39 agency representatives or other interested parties.
TESTIMONY SUMMARY
SENIOR CENTERS
Older adult testimony inquired if there were any plans to restore cuts to senior center staffing.
Testimony indicated the need and value of senior centers in the community.
Service provider testimony stated the importance of senior centers to ethnic populations,
including the value of the centers to the Chinese elderly who receive many services through
the centers including financial literacy, learning English, and accessing services.
Service provider testimony indicated that senior centers are focal points for evidence-based
programs and other wellness initiatives. Testimony suggested that AAAs advocate for the re-
instatement of senior center line items in state budget.
Older adult testimony addressed the success of programs for the Chinese elderly at regional
senior centers and asked for more resources for a bigger meeting space and more resources
to teach older Chinese about disease prevention and long term care.
TRANSPORTATION
Service provider testimony indicated more funding was needed for community-based
transportation.
Service provided testimony stated the need for additional transportation resources and
suggested a transportation cooperative to help the current patchwork system.

LONG TERM CARE
Service provider testimony encouraged the expansion of PACE in the region (currently, the
program only operates in Detroit).
Service provider testimony acknowledged the AAAs as a great resource to the aging network,
in terms of working toward long-term care systems change, wellness, home and community
based care, nutrition, and caregiver support. Testimony suggested the need for leadership by
the AAAs in changing the orientation of the aging discussion: portraying aging as an asset to
communities, instead of a liability; and portraying the elderly as a contributor to the economy,
rather than just a consumer of resources.
Written testimony by an older adult stated that with the downward turn of the economy, a
single-payer health care system was the only way to go. It would eliminate multiple billing
systems; everyone should be covered. Doctors should determine care, not the insurance
cornpanies.
Written service provider testimony stated that more funding is needed for services to keep
seniors in their homes, such as home injury control to prevent falls. Home injury control keeps
older adults from falling and out of hospitals, which is cheaper for the government in the long
run. Also, more money is needed for other Older American Act programs. A possible
countywide or statewide senior millage should be considered to help pay for senior programs.
CAREGIVING
Service provider testimony indicated the need for increased services for caregiving and
respite. Testimony suggested that more emphasis was needed on direct caregiver support
such as education, respite and support groups.
ADVOCACY
Service provider testimony suggested the need for a regional collaboration or coalition to
develop policies, including changing the eligibility for Medicaid, passing laws to prevent elder
abuse, and working toward a senior millage for those counties in the represented regions that
currently do not support a millage.
Service provider testimony indicated that a millage is long overdue, and that Southeast
Michigan needs to look at moving toward a miliage even in difficult financial times.
SUMMARY OF PUBLIC HEARINGS TESTIMONY
Comments from the community as part of the public hearing process were provided at three
different hearings: Monroe Center for Healthy Aging, Monroe; Area Agency on Aging 1-B,
Southfield; and The Council on Aging, Inc., serving St. Clair County, Port Huron.
The following is a summary of the comments provided at the Area Agency on Aging 1-B (AAA
1-B) 2009 public hearings on the proposed FY 2010-2012 Multi-Year Plan:

ADVOCACY
Service provider stated that while mental health parity for Medicare beneficiaries is planned to
be implemented in 2010, it has not yet been funded. Service provider further stated that
advocacy is needed to ensure the service is funded.
COMMUNICATION
Concerned citizen expressed the importance of communicating information and events to
seniors, and the need to find more creative ways to communicate now that the newspapers, in
their traditional, format are ending.
FUNDING
Service provider referenced the many county "blueprints for aging" and stated that funding
from the AAA 1-B should allow more flexibility to address county-specific needs. Service
provider would like to see objectives and outcomes from the county plans incorporated into
future AAA 1-B Annual Implementation Plans.
Service provider suggested the AAA 1-B contracting with agencies that already have resource
advocates in place to conduct client assessments in order to eliminate duplication in service in
counties where assessments are done by more than one agency.
Service provider suggested that if funding cuts need to be made that basic needs to keep
people in their homes are prioritized.
HEALTH AND WELLNESS
Service provider expressed concern that in-home counseling remains a gap in service since
the AAA 1-B ceased funding the service. Many older adults don't qualify for in-home
counseling under Medicare because they don't meet the definition for home-bound, or are
between the ages of 55-65.
Service provider suggested implementing evidence-based health promotion programs more
uniformly across the region and integrating them into the community (i.e. not just holding the
programs at the senior center). Service provider further suggested tracking and measuring
outcomes.
CHANGES TO PROPOSED 2010-2012 MYP BASED ON PUBLIC HEARINGS TESTIMONY
As a result of the comments received at the public hearings, the following changes were made
to the proposed 2010-2012 MYP:
Ill. Statement of Need
D. The AAA 1-8 will work to address identified unmet needs by attaining the highest
value from existing state and federal resources, utilizing these funds to leverage other
public, private and individual resources, and maintaining and enhancing families' ability
to assist older persons in need. It will be necessary to successfully engage in a variety
of collaborative partnerships, resource and program development activities, and

COMMUNITY FORUM WRITTEN TESTIMONIES
From: Alice Andrews S.D.C., Director of the Hartland Senior Center
To: Area Agency on Aging 1-B
Date: March 4, 2009
Michigan senior centers are an important link in the long-term care continuum. Senior centers
are vital to the health, well-being and independence of today and tomorrow's older adults. This
is a time when we should be building and strengthening our senior centers.
Social isolation, inactivity and lack of mental stimulation inevitably lead to both physical and
mental decline and increasing dependence. Senior centers are uniquely positioned in the
community to provide services and programs that lead to a healthy and independent aging.
Senior centers across the state provide vital programs and services to their communities
including but not limited to those offered by the Hartland Senior Center:
• Physical activities including aerobics, resistance exercise, chair fitness, yoga, well-
equipped fitness room, dance and competitive sports
• Health and vocational education classes
• Volunteer opportunities that can include friendly visiting, telephone reassurance,
clerical, instructor opportunities, and many different jobs within the center
• Caregiver support groups, outreach and Resource Advocacy programs, information and
assistance, tax assistance, Medicare and Medicaid counseling
• Recreational programs that include many opportunities for fun and friendship
• Door-to-door transportation for medical appointments, grocery trips and other errands
These programs are designed to achieve our mission to promote healthy, happy and
independent aging. I feel it is essential that state and federal dollars be used to strengthen
and expand the vital services of the senior centers throughout the state.

Several years ago I noticed that many of our members who regained their health and strength
from cardiac and other rehab programs had nowhere to go when these services ended. We
applied and were granted money from the Offices of Services to the Aging to purchase fitness
equipment for our center that would allow our members to continue their fitness regimen. Ten
years later we still have that equipment that is used daily by many of those same cardiac rehab
graduates. The state's investment of $10,000 has saved many times that amount in Medicare
and Medicaid dollars. Unfortunately those funds for senior center staffing and equipment are
gone.
The senior centers around the state do much to keep older adults healthy, involved and
independent but we could do so much with the financial support from the state of Michigan and
our regional area agencies on aging. I urge the AAA 1-B to advocate for additional dollars to
help senior centers. It may be a cliché but an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Subject: Senior Services
To Whom It May Concern:
am personally interested in the Macomb County Services for Seniors and I hope my thoughts
may apply to other counties as well. I have both parents in their mid 80s at home in Macomb
county. My father is the caregiver for my mother all day and every day. At age 81 he started
aging exponentially due to the added care of his spouse and complete takeover of household
chores, shopping, bills, cooking, etc. They are still in need of respect and want to be
completely independent, however I see that this has taken a huge toll on my 85-year-old
father's health. For years he was able to get out and walk almost daily with friends at the mall.
Now, if he is lucky, he meets with the friends once a week and can no longer walk for the
exercise. In the past, I have contacted the Services for Seniors program in Macomb County to
help my parents, and I am aware that you presently offer some help to homebound seniors.
With your newly added resources in mind. I would like to suggest some things that may help
them and others who are still at home and do not have the financial resources to stay
independent and healthy.
• Provide more help to seniors who are the caregivers to their spouse at home.
• Provide subsidized meals for the homebound three times a week as an alternative to
the present whole week program. This would give the choice to those who still want to
provide for themselves and need some relief from the daily chores. It would not be
wasteful, as I watched my deceased aunt who did have meals delivered in Wayne
County, needed them daily, but did not always eat all the food.
• Provide a daily video exercise program for seniors at home that is broadcast on the
local TV station. The range of level should be available with seated exercises as well
as those that are done standing. A simple incentive program to get the seniors to
participate and the advertising for this program are also essential for success.
• Provide subsidi7M snow removal to those who are in need during the winter months.
• Provide gas cards for those who may need help financially.

• Provide an educational pamphlet for doctors and caregivers to promote respectful
communication with seniors in the presence of adult children. Seniors should be treated
like adults and not children. (I have personally experienced the opposite with my
parents, my mother-in-law, and my deceased aunt who are/were all mentally capable.)

Historical Health Focuses and the Results
Prior to 1900, there was little understanding of the germ theory of medicine and life was, in the
words of Robert Butler, "very short and very brutal."1 Public health action to control infectious
diseases in the 201h century was based on the 19 th century discovery of microorganisms as the
cause of many serious diseases. Disease control resulted from improvements in sanitation
and hygiene, the discovery of antibiotics and the introduction of universal childhood
vaccination programs. Scientific and technological advance played a major role ill each of
these areas and are the foundation of today's disease control and surveillance programs.2 As
a result of the focus on infectious disease in the first fifty years of the 20 1h century, the stage
was set for the beginning of the demographic revolution.
By 1950, the phenomenal increase in the numbers and proportion of the elderly population due
to these advances resulted in a refocus of the health care system towards acute care, forcing
the federal government to respond in the 1960s with the enactment of the Older Americans
Act, Medicare and Medicaid. This, coupled with the advancements and a rising standard of
living over the past fifty years, created the momentum for today's longevity revolution. The
aging baby boomers will soon add their numbers to the mix with the largest percentage turning
65 within the next ten years.
Now that we have facilitated a longer living, healthier, older population which is ever increasing
and will double in twenty years, it is evident that we must now shift from this focus on acute
care to prevention, chronic illness care, and long term care options. We must keep as
many of our older adults independent with the treatments and assistance they need, so we do
not become a nation or state burdened with the largest dependent population in history.
The Value of Senior Centers to the New Millennium
If we are to respond in a meaningful way to the five goals stated in the Administration on Aging
Strategic Action Plan for 2007-2012,3 one of the mechanisms for transformation, as a stated
resolution in the 2005 White House Conference report "Encourage Redesign of Senior Centers
for Broad Appeal and Community Participation", the following must be recognized:
Senior Centers have always functioned as centers for healthy aging and serve as the focal
point and entry point at the local level, for the access and delivery of community and home
based services for awareness, education, outreach, socialization, information, assistance and
supportive environment that empowers older adults, their families and caregivers to remain at
home for as long as possible, aging in place.
20
AreA Agency on
.fAX Agingl-B
FY 2010-12 Multi-Year Plan
FY 2010 Annual Implementation Plan
Senior Centers offer the opportunities for older people to stay connected, informed and
actively engaged in charting their own course in the self management of chronic conditions,
long term care, health maintenance and as contributing members of the community through
civic engagement and volunteer opportunities.
Senior Centers and Nutrition Sites today are strategically positioned in local communities
across the state of Michigan and are the preferred gathering place for older adults since the
1950s.
Senior Centers have a mission to promote the wellbeing and safeguard the independence of
older adults. They offer the platform at the local level to launch the federal, state and regional
initiatives for older people in the 21 st Century and provide the opportunities for awareness,
education, access and coordination of health and social services for a person-centered,
holistic, cost efficient approach that supports quality lifestyles and healthy aging.
Resolution for the New Millennium
We strongly urge that the regional and state plans expand their identified "important functions"
of senior centers beyond "socialization, services, information, advocacy and support" to
include that senior centers are a focal point at the local level for the delivery of
comprehensive, coordinated health promotion, disease prevention, health maintenance
and programs and services for all of the dimensions of wellness.
However, today most senior centers struggle just to keep doors open with minimum staffing
levels and are not equipped to implement new research or methods needed to respond to the
increasing numbers, proportion, and emerging issues of the longevity revolution.
Support for research and development funding and methods to gauge outcomes with
evidenced-based programs to quantify benefits is vital to the success of senior centers' efforts.
This support will also facilitate the "return on investment" funders and government use to
determine future planning and funding.
In addition, research has subjectively proven that connection to the community using social
and recreational programs is vital to the health of older adults. Senior centers are the hotbeds
for this focus, but more quantitative research must be advanced and acknowledged as part of
disease and dependency prevention.
Therefore, the Michigan Association of Senior Centers strongly urge, along with a host of local
and statewide grassroots support, the implementation of policy which includes not only the
reinstatement of senior staffing funds, but also dedicated funding for their operation.
Thank you for this opportunity to advocate for quality lifestyles and healthy aging for all older
adults.

Testimony on behalf of Adult Well-Being Services to the Public Input Forum
March 2, 2009
Submitted by Karen Schrock, President & CEO
Adult Well-Being Services
To the staff and board members of the three Area Agencies on Aging that are sponsoring this
hearing, thank you for the opportunity to testify on older adult needs, supports and services.
We hope this is just the first of many collaborative efforts among Southeast Michigan's Area
Agencies on Aging. As is often said, there is more that unites us than divides us. By planning
and coordinating together, new programs and approaches can be developed to more
effectively meet the growing needs of an increasingly aging population. At a time when
economic forecasts are gloomy and state budgets are strained, it makes sense to combine our
resources, particularly for advocacy. By joining together, we will be more successful
advocates for needed system-wide changes to guarantee the rights of and improve access to
care for those we serve.
Adult Well Being Services (AWBS) speaks on behalf of more than 7,500 older adults, seniors
with mental illness, adults with developmental disabilities, grandparents raising grandchildren,
and their families throughout Southeast Michigan who utilize Area Agency on Aging-funded
caregiver support, respite, health promotion and community based services.
Our caregiver support program is thriving and growing. It is headed by a professional social
worker who provides monthly support groups, individual counseling, referral, advocacy, and
education. We provide respite services for grandparents caring for their grandchildren. And,
we work collaboratively with other organizations to hold four annual caregiving conferences,
We currently implement evidence based programs for chronic disease prevention and health
promotion. One program is targeted at preventing diabetes and the other is a federally-funded
HIWAIDS prevention and education program for older, heterosexual women of color. Other
evidence-based services we provide include an Assertive Community Treatment program for
adults with severe mental illness and the use of motivational interviewing among consumers
with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders. We also operate a successful
transportation program throughout Wayne County to serve consumers and their families.
Through these programs, AWBS sees first-hand the increased need for each of these
services.
At a time when our aging population is projected to double within the next ten years, clearly the
time is now to address the need for more funding and policies to support older adults and their

families. Based on 56 years of experience of providing comprehensive services lo older adults
and adults with developmental disabilities, we offer the following recommendations.
Our first recommendation for increased funding is for caregiver support and respite.
Caregiving is quickly becoming one of the most critical issues we face. Caregivers tell us they
feel isolated and overwhelmed. They lack support, training, information and even a
sympathetic ear. Many caregivers feel invisible in the hospital and abandoned at home.
Sustaining our family caregivers and their ability to provide care at home or in the community is
crucial to our health and long term care system. By providing help and respite to help family
and informal caregivers with their mental and physical health issues including depression and
exhaustion, we will end up paying far less for these services than for higher costs of
institutionalization and nursing homes. Aging services funders are increasingly emphasizing
the need to conduct caregiver assessment using tools such as T-Care to better identify
services gaps and guide allocation of resources. However, caregiver assessment is not
enough. To achieve real outcomes of success in meeting the growing population of
caregivers needs, ensuring their health and reducing costs of hospitalization and -
institutionalization, we must increase funding for direct caregiver support services - support
groups, education and respite.
Regarding health promotion, another consequence of an aging population is the increase in
the number of older adults with chronic disease. Demand for chronic disease prevention and
education programs is growing. We know from our own experience that these programs work.
That is why last year we added five new sites where we provide these services. At a time
when fiscal resources are strained, it simply makes sense to fully fund these programs which
saves millions of dollars in health care costs. Therefore, our second recommendation is for
more funding for health promotion programs.
Our third recommendation is for more funding for community-based bonsportation programs.
This is desperately needed. We have a community organizer on staff Who is working with a
group of 100 seniors on the east side of Detroit. These seniors have identified transportation
and the lack of access to fresh and healthy foods as their highest priorities for advocacy.
Public transportation for older adults and adults with developmental disabilities who need to
• get to their medical appointments, do their grocery shopping and enjoy opportunities for
socialization, is unreliable and underfunded. Being able to age in place will require better
aiternative transportation services to ensure that we can stay heatthy, active and live longer.
Our fourth recommendation is for the Area Agencies on Aging to dedicate a fund to meet
emergency needs of older adults and their families. Persons identified as being in poverty or
even at 125% to 150% of federal poverty guidelines are at risk of having inadequate housing,
food, health care and transportation, especially in areas with insufficient public transisortation.

For older adults, nearly 20% of Detroit adults over age 65 and 11.3% of Wayne County's older
adults live in poverty_ During this economic recession. demand for emergency assistance is
up 25% according to area food banks, homeless shelters and our own in-house statistics. The
economic loreeast is for a prolonged downturn, with the worst yet to come.
Clearly, a coordinated response to this economic crisis is warranted. We recommend that the
three Southeast Michigan Area Agencies on Aging join forces and work together to advocate
among policy makers, foundations and corporations for financial assistance to create an
emergency needs fund. This fund would provide emergency assistance grants for our most
vulnerable, frail and impoverished older adults who live in the seven counties represented by
Detroit Area Agency on Aging, The Senior Alliance and Area Agency on Aging 1-B.
Finally, we want to re-affirm our hope that today's collaboration between Detroit Area Agency
on Aging. The Senior Alliance and Area Agency on Aging 1-B results in the formation of a
coalition to achieve concrete policy and advocacy goals. We urge the leaders of the three
Area Agencies on Aging to form a regional coalition that includes service providers, consumers
and their families_ This coalition would advocate for increased funding and improved policies
including: 1) changed eligibility rules for Medicaid to enable more caregivers to access publicly
funded services and support programs: 2) incentives to caregivers such as tax
reimbursements and tax deductions to enable families to afford more community based
services that they need; 3) state and federal laws aimed at preventing eider abuse; and. 4) an
overdue senior millage to obtain more reliable, long-term sources of funding for older adult
services and programs. More than ever, with the downturn in the economy, and rapidly rising
food, fuel and health care costs, America's vulnerable seniors are facing difficult times.
Federal, state and local budgets are unable to fund adequate food, transportation. and
supportive services for seniors in greatest need. Together, we can and should develop and
gain support for a regional senior millage to ensure that our region's growing population of
older adults are able to preserve their health and independence..
AS the number of older adults rises in Michigan with the aging of baby boomers, we need to
redouble our efforts to target funds and policies to serve both the current older population and
future older generations. We look forward to working with you to find ways to Invest more to
prepare for our aging region. Thank you.

Re: Public Hearing
Deaf & Hearing Impaired Services, Inc, would like to thank the Area Agency on Aging 1-13, Detroit Area
Agency on Aging and The Senior Alliance fa: the opportunity to provide written testimony to the specific
issue of needs for Deaf and hard of hearing 0;dT adults, of Michigan with a specific focus an Aging in
Plate for this special poptilation. The Deaf have a separate language and culture with the need lin assis:ive
devices and auxLiary aides.
There is an increase in need for Sign Language interpreting services :n the medical setting.
Home Health Care services for Deaf older adults aging in place age are crucial...yet most Home
Health refuse to provide a sign language interpreter. Beth the Federal law of the i‘mericans With
Disabilities Act as ivell as House 13111 4208 clearly mandate that ?obit.: services must provide sign language
interpreters. It is not uncommon for Deaf patients being discharged from a local hospital being refused
admittance to a local Rehabilitation facility beca USe they are Deaf and require all Interpreter. It
continues to be a challenge in the medical setting for some physicians and hospitals to became aware of
their responsibility under he Federal and now Slice laws to provide such interpreting set -vices. In such
cases, advocacy is critical. This is especially important in the mental health medical setting_
Deaf & !fearing Impaired SerViCe8, Inc. continues to provide Interpreting servlces far Deaf older adults and
the necessary advocacy for them to have equal access to Mformanon. Tlic most cffective means of
communication for the Deaf in the case management settnig is a face-to-fate contact with theiilemreter
present. Indeed, the preferred and most effective communication for the Deaf is through the use of
American Sign Language. The language of the Deaf is a visual language and is clearly nut a written
language. Additionally, the Deaf have their own separate arid unique culatre. Interpreters for the Deaf are
trained bilingually and biculturally_ Therefore, to effectively and efficiently meet the communicating
language of the Deaf, even more crucial in the medical setting, it is imperative that interpreting services be
provided througit the use of a qualified/certified interpreter. It is ar our DH1S satellite sites in southeast
Michigan that the Deaf come for individual client assistance b'. our interpretingi."sosial work staff. Medical,
Legal, and Social Services are coordinated with Deaf & Dearing Impaired Services, Inc. and other
cenununity based service providers. Often transportation has to hc arranged and TTY relay as well,

Public Hearing : FY 2010-2012 - Deaf & Hearing impaired Services, Inc.
Hearing loss is the most isolating gall the disabiLties. indeed, hearing loss separates `man from man'.
There are approximately 90,000 Deaf acid over 500,000 hard of hearing in Michigan. Over 51% of that
number reside in southeast Michigan, Indeed, Michigan is 7 th in Deaf population of the 50 States and Lla th
in Interpreters of the 50 States. It is extremely important that the Deaf and the Deaf-Blind have social
and recreational opportunities whereby they may meet with those of like disabilities and with the same
language and culture 50 that they do not isolate at home. Isolation creates another large set of problems for
the Deaf and the Deaf-Blind,
Group Programs arc essential for the Deaf older adult. It is through Group Programming that the Deaf learn
about the aging process and how to care for their health. Literature is not sufficient for the Deaf to obtain
information, The Deaf need Group Programs with an interpreter/Program Coordinator who will
establish the Programs and provide the necessary interpreting for the 'Speaker'. The Group Programs
that are an integral part of the 18 satel:ite sites of Deaf & Hearing impaired Services. Inc. are critical in
preventing the Deaf from isolating in their homes. Interesting Programs, hot nutrition, informational
sessions, speaker series, and the critical social work that is done at the DIES satellite sites bring the Deaf
into the Group Setting.
Health and Wellness Continued:
Hearing Screenings to identify persons with hearing loss are critical for the hard of hearing. Hearing
Screenings provide opportunity for the older adult identify his/her hearing loss, obtain hearing appliances so
that they can access the medical setting through comnamication by phone, as well as Support Groups to
meet with others like themselves and to share and receive information concerning hearing aid appliances,
coping strategies, activities, as well as assistive listening and signaling equipment etc. It is critical to
provide education on hearing aid scams., BuyerBeware. Free hearing tests
need to be provided by our agency as we do not sell hearing aids, There is no conflict of interest
Deaf & Hearing Impaired Services, Inc. supports the Medicaid Waiver Program for Michigan's older
adults Statistics have revealed how critical the program is in preventing premature nursing home
placement, Interpreting Services arc provided by Deaf & Hearing Impaired Services, Inc. in PSA 1-A,
Region 1-B and PSA 1-C as part of the Medicaid Waiver program. The Interpreting Services are that most
needed linkage for clear understanding for the Deaf patient and the Deaf family.

The Deaf older adult population at large, due to its economic status have often gone without services
due to the language barrier aped disabling condition that exists. Indeed, the Deaf older adult is roost
often economically and socially deprived. The Deaf older adult population is a 'targeted population
for need of sers ices,
It is important to note that the Dear older adult has a tremendous tendency, dire to the hearing loss,
to isolate. it is imperntive for their healthy mental brictiorling to have socialization opportunities
that stimulate language usage. By providing the socialization opportunities and the 111/ cost
indiv idual intcrprctinWcase coordination/interpreting services for the Deaf- service providers are
able to decrease dependency on entitlement programs, provide a barrier to poverty, a deterrent to
mental deterioration vihich - in turn- reduces dependence on society but encourages independence
and dignity.
A focused goal of this multi yenr contract proposal is to establish Deaf Senior Housing in southeast
Michigan. Presently there are t a such senior retirement commanities in the Nation. A survey was
conducted of the Deaf population us well as a focus group- From the evaluated data it was learned
that building the Deaf senior housing along the 175 corridor in Oakland County was the preferred
site. As part of the Deaf Senior Housing Commission, Deal& Hearing Impaired Serf ices, Inc. is
committed to establishing the much needed Deaf senior retirettinni community working continually
with other participants on the Commission for Deaf senior housing. Deaf senior housing will provide
opportunity for ongoing socialization for the Deaf in their native language of American Sign
Language and as a result be a deterrent from the isolation that often is experienced by this silent
population.
It is from the experience of DUBS with the Deaf and hard of hearing populations that we encourage
The Area Agercy oil Aging 1-B to inzlinie services ;c this silent targeted population when decisions arc
made about funding for critical services for the disahled older aditir.

C. Evaluation of Unmet Needs
The Area Agency on Aging 1-B (AAA 1-B) uses a variety of methods to identify unmet needs
among older persons residing in the planning and service area. Methods include:
programmatic feedback from contractors and vendors; the commission of focus groups with
various age and income cohorts; the conduct of Community Forums on the Needs of Older
Adults; analysis of relevant secondary data and needs studies; reports from the AAA 1-B
Information and Assistance program; 2000 Census data; and recommendations from Ad Hoc
Issue Study Committees of the AAA 1-B Advisory Council. Furthermore, in March, 2008, the
AAA 1-B commissioned three focus groups to prove concerns, interest in Home and
Community Based Services, and the value placed in Information & Assistance services.
Results of these focus groups were shared with the AAAs statewide at a recent OSA Directors
meeting.
Comments provided at two February 2009 Community Forums on the Needs of Older Adults,
conducted by the AAA 1-B, substantiated the need for the array of services proposed in this
plan. A marked emphasis was placed on the need for in-home services that assist older
persons or those persons with a disability to maintain their independence in their own home.
Other comments stressed the importance of services that help older adults and family
caregivers to access needed assistance, and the vital role that Senior Centers and other Aging
Network programs play in promoting healthy lifestyles and preventive behaviors.
A third Community Forum was held in Canton, Michigan, and included all three Southeast
Michigan Area Agencies on Aging: Detroit Area Agency on Aging, the Senior Alliance, and
Area Agency on Aging 1-B. Comments by participants re-iterated in many ways those
comments of the previous forums, but also included emphasis on the need for greater
collaboration among Southeast Michigan Area Agencies on Aging, and throughout the aging
network.
According to US Census and Southeast Michigan Council of Government projections, by 2010
the Region 1-B age 60 and older population will reach 565,162 individuals, and equal 29.86%
of Michigan's older adult population.
In addition, Region 1-B is home to an increasingly vulnerable population. Region 1-B has
more low-income elders than any other region in the state: 51,599 with an income below
150% of the federal poverty level. Twenty-eight Region 1-B communities saw their age 80+
population increase by more than 100%,
The AAA 1-B prioritizes older adult service needs with consideration to resources that benefit
older persons through other service delivery systems. Service needs are classified into the
following categories, in ranking order:
1. Services that warrant funding from the AAA 1-B.
2. Services that should be the focus of AAA 1-B planning, program development, resource
development, and advocacy activities.
3. Service needs that are limited and/or emerging, and that require further study and program
development.

The most significant barrier to addressing identified needs of older persons is the lack of
sufficient public resources to provide the level of subsidized assistance that is needed by older
persons. As a result, many individuals are placed on wait lists, receive less assistance than is
needed, and/or become discouraged and quit seeking assistance because there is little
possibility their needs will be met. Another significant barrier is that older persons often are not
aware of services that may assist them, or do not know how to find information on available
assistance because few public resources are available to promote the awareness of
community resources. Additional barriers include restrictive eligibility requirements and lack of
transportation that is needed to help older people access available programs.
1. There is a continued need for the AAA 1-B's current funding priorities, with evidence that the
demand for these services exceeds the supply that can be provided with existing resources.
2. The services provided to older persons in the areas of health, housing, transportation, and
income benefits have a need for expansion and modification by other systems in order to make
them more sensitive and responsive to the needs of older persons.
3. Greater assistance is needed for family caregivers to assist in sustaining their caregiving
responsibilities, and linking them with needed resources.
4. Greater emphasis and resources are needed for preventive services that can help mitigate
the impact of chronic and disabling conditions, reduce the demand for other services, improve
health status, and enhance quality of life.
5. There are a number of unique but serious problems that affect small subsets of the of the
older adult population, which appear to be growing and which warrant further attention, study,
and program development.
D. Available Resources and Partnerships
The AAA 1-B will work to address identified unmet needs by attaining the highest value from
existing state and federal resources, utilizing these funds to leverage other public, private and
individual resources, and maintaining and enhancing families' ability to assist older persons in
need. It will be necessary to successfully engage in a variety of collaborative partnerships,
resource and program development activities, and advocacy on behalf of older persons in
30
Area
A A Agency on
WN, Aging 1-13
Pe 2010-12 Multi-Year Plan
FY 2010 Annual Implementation Plan
order to accomplish these outcomes. The AAA 1-B recognizes the county planning efforts in
the forms of "blueprints for aging' and "senior needs assessments" as imperative to
accomplishing the above outcomes.
This plan stipulates the use of available state and federal funds to support older adult services.
In addition to these resources, a truly comprehensive service delivery system will require
substantial contributions of resources from other local sources. The predominant method of
supplementing state and federal dollars with local resources is through the adoption of senior
millages, which are present in 61 of 83 Michigan counties. However, only two Region 1-B
counties, Monroe and St. Clair, have senior rnillages (which raise over $3 million each), and
several municipalities have local millages that either are dedicated to older adult services
(Bloomfield Hills, Madison Heights, Milford, Oakland Township, Rochester, and Rochester
Hills) or are partially dedicated in combination with other uses, such as recreation (Saline). In
the other four non-rnillage counties, county boards of commissioners commit a significant
amount of general fund dollars for older adult services, and local municipalities are expected to
provide leadership in supporting the operation of senior centers. While this matrix of support
has created a strong service delivery system, there are many areas where resources are
clearly lacking and are inadequate to address needs.
The AAA 1-B plans to address this problem by educating funders and decision makers about
the importance and need for older adult services, and identifying opportunities for partnerships
with other public and private resources to expand services. Plans to expand and enhance
older adult services in the areas of health, housing, transportation, social and nutritional
services, senior centers and long term care call for the development of collaborative
partnerships that will result in additional resources and increased sensitivity of other service
delivery systems toward the unique needs of older adults. Additional efforts will focus on
improving access to needed community resources for targeted populations by working more
closely with local governments and religious, cultural, ethnic, and minority organizations. This
strategy may include advocacy for the adoption of county and/or local senior millages.
Another strategy to liberate resources will be to work toward a rebalancing of Medicaid long
term care services that features greater emphasis and utilization of community-based long
term care options. The implementation of long term care policies that foster consumer choice
and money following persons to the setting of their choice will likely result in greater utilization
of less costly community based options. The "savings" that can be reaped from this shift will
be needed to assist others seeking access to community-based care, provide for the needs of
a nursing home population with greater needs, and invest in quality improvement programs for
all long term care consumers.
In addition, the AAA 1-B will work to implement recommendations of its revenue enhancement
study, UntaDoed.Sources.of.Revenue_to.Supoort Services to Older Adults, the interim report of
the AAA 1-B Ad Hoc Study Committee on Revenue Sources for Aging Services. The
recommendations identify opportunities to raise funding for senior wellness/prevention
programs, as well as in-home services through strategies that have been proven effective in
other states, including specialty license plates and an income tax refund check-off.

With the older adult population living longer, many with chronic disease, the need for continued education and outreach to
family caregivers, older adults and adults with disabilities is a priority for outreach at the AAA 1-B. Through a
comprehensive marketing plan, including a high focus on obtaining earned media coverage on the AAA 1-B programs,
holding of three caregiver expos (Oakland/Macomb, St. Clair and Monroe counties) enhancements of the AAA 1-B
website, development and distribution of two quarterly publications (ACCESS and Michigan Generations), participation at
over 50 local senior events and other activities, the AAA 1-B will continue to reach out and increase the awareness of the
agency and the various home and community based services available to help older adults and adults with disabilities to
remain living in their chosen place of residence.
With a sustained focus on increasing awareness of the services available through the AAA 1-B, it is anticipated to
continue to experience an increase in call volume through the Information and Assistance Resource Center. This is the
primary method used to measure the effectiveness of community outreach, in addition to attendance at caregiver fairs and
growth in the ACCESS and Michigan Generations distribution.
The other program at the AAA 1-B focused on education and outreach is the Medicare Medicaid Assistance Program
(MMAP)_ In 2008, the MMAP program reached 25,852 Medicare beneficiaries residing in Region 1-B and saved
beneficiaries $2,275,725. Initial outcomes for FY 2009 indicate a higher outreach number for the MMAP program,

The AAA 1-B will continue to reach out and increase the awareness of various services available to help older adults and adults with
disabilities to remain living in their chosen place of residence. The AAA 1-B is participating in the Nursing Home Diversion Grant,
Phase 2. This grant funded project is designed to assist individuals with using their own assets and resources to access home and
community based services to prevent Medicaid spend down and premature institutionalization. The AAA 1-B will also be working with
the Veterans Hospital in both Ann Arbor and Detroit to provide home and community based self-directed care for referred veterans. It is
expected that we will work with 20 to 25 veterans during FY 2010. Veterans will have more control over and responsibility for the care
they receive in the community. The work of Nursing Home Diversion Phase 1, wdl continue with Independent Living Consultation
services being provided in Macomb and Washtenaw Counties in conjunction with partners including MCDSCS and HUD Service
Coordinators.

FY 2010 Annual Implementation Plan
With the older adult population living longer and many living with one or more chronic conditions, the need for continued education and
outreach to family caregivers, older adults and adults with disabilities is a priority for outreach at the AAA 1-B, The AAA 1-B will
continue to promote the evidence-based chronic disease self management program (PATH) by educating aging professionals, older
adults, persons with disabilities and caregivers about the benefits of the program as well as opportunites to participate in PATH
trainings. A leader training will be conducted in St. Clair County so aging professionals, advocates and lay leaders will be able to
facilitate PATH workshops for individuals living with a chronic condition or those who care for someone with a chronic condition.
The AAA 1-B recognizes that mobility is crucial to maintaining quality of life and interaction in a society. Mobility options allow older
adults to remain engaged in the community and has been cited as a crucial link to health, independence, and good quality of life. The
AAA 1-B will continue to develop the Mobility Options Counseling grant that was received through United Way in 2009. Continued
development of service will allow older adults, adults with disabilities, and their family members to have improved access to mobility
related services that assist with continued safe mobility, future mobility planning, and maintaining mobilty when driving is no longer a
safe option. From this process we will be able to capture and record unmet mobility needs data and report this information to local
officials.

VI, ADVOCACY STRATEGY
The Area Agency on Aging 1-B (AAA 1-B) advocacy strategy will focus on issues identified as
priorities under this plan, and will be modified to respond to emerging issues over the three year
planning period. Advocacy efforts relating to Funding Priority services will focus on expanding
resources needed to satisfy the demand for services. Advocacy efforts relative to Planning,
Advocacy, Policy and Resource Development Priority services will emphasize effecting policy and
systems change to make these services more responsive to the needs of older persons. Program
Development Priority services will receive advocacy attention emphasizing support for research,
demonstration projects, and development of innovative partnerships.
The AAA 1-B advocacy priorities and objectives are determined by actions of the AAA 1-B Advisory
Council and Board of Directors. The Advisory Council establishes advocacy direction through the
development of recommendations by its ad hoc study committees, or reviews issues at Council
meetings, and recommends positions to the Board of Directors. Advocacy issue identification will
also stem from the AM 1-B Consumer Advisory Boards, from input from our collaborative partners,
and in response to legislative or regulatory activity at the federal, state, or local levels. A specific
emphasis will be placed on advocating for systems change, policies, and resources that will foster the
rebalancing of Michigan's Medicaid long term care services system with a greater emphasis on
development and access to community-based options.
All advocacy activities are undertaken with special consideration given to the needs of targeted
populations to assure that policies and programs are responsive to the needs of vulnerable, socially,
and economically disadvantaged older persons.
The AAA 1-B strives to provide leadership on advocacy issues within Region 1-B; directly influence
decision makers through the provision of information and analysis of older adult needs; and facilitate
the direct involvement of older adults in advocacy on their own behalf. The AAA 1-B 2009 Advocacy
Blueprint describes the following activities that the AAA 1-B, through the efforts of senior advocates,
Board and Council volunteer leadership, staff, and other interested parties, will undertake to fulfill the
mission to advocate for the needs of older adults:
SENIOR ADVOCATES
Senior Advocacy Network (SAN)
The SAN is a network of individuals and organizations that are committed to following public
policy issues which affect older adults, and speaking out on behalf of the needs of older
persons. Members of the SAN receive informational mailings on various issues from the AAA
1-B; call, write, and speak with elected officials and other key decision makers; attend public
information sessions; and provide leadership in urging others to be active senior advocates.
Senior Advocates of Washtenaw (SAW)
SAW is a county-level advocacy group that originated as a recommendation of the Washtenaw
Blueprint for Aging, and now is supported by the AAA 1-B. SAW is a non-partisan coalition led
by older adults and including persons of all ages, empowering older adults to advocate for
beneficial change through education and public policy issues. Through the monthly meetings,
48
Area
A Agency on
AN Aging 1-B
FY 2010-12 Multi-Year Plan
FY 2010 Annual Implementation Plan
SAW has organized a Senior Summit, drawing over 100 seniors from the county, along with
local, state and federal elected officials. In addition, SAW has promoted key advocacy through
letter writing campaigns and visits to the Capitol for issues such as "money follows the person"
and transportation.
Michigan Senior Advocates Council (MSAC)
The AAA 1-B appoints representatives to the MSAC. These representatives also sit on the
AAA 1-B Advisory Council. MSAC members meet monthly in Lansing when the legislature is
in session. They review introduced bills of importance to seniors, formulate positions on these
bills, provide testimony before legislative committees, and regularly meet with their elected
representatives to advocate on a wide range of issues.
AAA 1-B Advisory Council and Board of Directors
The AAA 1-B Advisory Council and Board of Directors are charged with the responsibility to
aggressively advocate on behalf of older adults in their region. They accomplish this by
arriving at positions relative to bills introduced at the state and federal levels, commenting on
proposed policies and regulations, and by providing testimony at various hearings, forums, and
meetings.
AAA 1-B Staff
As part of the AAA 1-B, staff are charged with advocating on behalf of older adults consistent
with the agency's mission, and advocacy permeates the agency. Staff at the AAA 1-B
coordinate advocacy efforts, serve as "front line" advocates (i.e. care managers), and educate
others about the needs and unmet needs of older adults in the region (e.g. family care givers
and the aging network).
ADVOCACY TOOLS
The Advocate
In order to educate the AM 1-B advocates about current issues of concern, the agency
produces The Advocate newsletter monthly. The Advocate is distributed electronically and as
a paper copy. Through The Advocate, senior advocates can track pending and passed
legislation on the local, state and federal levels, learn about upcoming advocacy events, and
get tips for advocating more effectively.
Legislative E-Newsletter
The Legislative E-Newsletter provides elected officials with relevant and timely information
regarding older adults in their district. The publication is a mix of testimonies from the MA 1-B
clients, information about services that will be useful to their constituents, useful demographic
data for policy decisions, and updates regarding new programs for seniors.
49
Area
A Agency on
/AN Aging 1-E
FY 2010-12 Multi-Year Plan
FY 2010 Annual Implementation Plan
Legislative Analyses
In addition to the two newsletters, the AAA 1-B provides analysis of legislation that is pertinent
to older adults. The legislative analyses are provided to the AAA 1-B Advisory Council and
Board of Directors to facilitate their decision making of whether or not to advocate for or
against a particular bill. Upon approval of the Board, the appropriate persons (staff,
volunteers, senior advocates) use the analysis to educate elected officials regarding the pros
or cons of the bills and the potential effect on older adults.
ADVOCACY ACTIVITIES
Legislative Visits
Regular, face-to-face contact with elected officials and their staff is a key component of the
AAA 1-B 2009 Advocacy Blueprint. The AAA 1-B CEO plans monthly visits with the legislators
from Region 1-B, with the goal of meeting with each of the state's legislators at least once
during the year In addition, the AAA 1-B organizes a new legislator orientation in order to
bring up to speed the persons entering the Michigan legislature on the aging network and the
role of the AAA 1-B. The agency also participates in the Area Agency on Aging Association
(4AM) annual Valentine's Day Legislative Luncheon at the Capitol, at which time, all the AAAs
meet with legislators from their region to share the 4AM legislative agenda for the year.
Older Michiganians Day/Rally
The combination of the local county Older Michiganians Day (OMD) rallies and the statewide
Older Michiganians Day offer opportunities for advocates to gather and hear about local issues
of importance as well as to advocate on behalf of the statewide OMD legislative platform. The
rallies are held in the weeks leading up to OMD, and typically features legislators, local leaders
and older adults who can speak to the statewide platform and its impact on the local
community.
Advocacy Website
Oftentimes advocacy action is needed quickly. Therefore, in 2010, the AAA 1-B will be
expanding the advocacy portion of the AAA 1-B website in order to keep advocates informed
on the most recent developments, as well as to expedite advocacy action when needed.

VII. COMMUNITY FOCAL POINTS
1. MA DEFINITION FOR COMMUNITY:
A city, village or township which is defined as a municipal civil division under state law. A
religious, racial or ethnic group whose membership extends across municipal boundaries
constitute a social community.
2. RATIONALE FOR DEFINITION:
Each municipality is defined as a separate community because the majority of older Region 1-B
residents identify most strongly with the municipal civil division in which they reside, and the
municipalities are most often a primary sponsor of community focal points for the delivery of
services to older adults. In addition, the nature of adjacent communities often differs significantly
as one crosses municipal boundaries.
However, many older adults maintain strong ties to religious, racial or ethnic organizations which
preserve cultural heritage and foster a sense of community among members. Assimilation into
American culture may or may not have occurred among these groups. yet there remains a
primary desire to identify oneself with a cultural affiliation, as opposed to one's municipality of
residence
3. RATIONALE AND PROCESS FOR SELECTION OF THE COMMUNITY FOCAL POINTS:
All organizations that serve as a community-based source of information and services for older
adults shall be considered a community focal point. Senior centers, county-level aging
organizations including the AAA 1-B county offices, and religious, racial or ethnic organizations
function as community focal points. Focal points at a minimum serve as a point of contact for
older persons to learn about or be linked to older adult resources in their community, and offer
space for the facilitation of programs. The effectiveness of identified focal points varies greatly
from thriving senior centers with multiple service, recreational, nutritional, and social
programming, to small part-time centers and agencies that struggle financially and in attracting
participants. Recognition of the variance of senior center effectiveness is reflected in the work of
the AAA 1-B/Michigan Association of Senior Center Enhancement and Promotion Task Force,
which has produced a series of recommendations to elevate recognition of senior centers as
viable community focal points.
The process for designating community focal points begins with the identification of senior
centers, county-level aging organizations and religious, racial or ethnic groups that serve as
focal points in each Region 1-B municipality. Public officials are provided an opportunity to
review and comment on proposed Community Focal Points at two public hearings on the AAA
1-B FY 2010-2012 Multi Year Plan. Based upon comments received at the public hearing, the
AAA 1-B Advisory Council and Board of Directors act to designate the community focal points.
