I Old Business A. Update of Health Impaired Elderly Search - Newsletter - Senior Packet Senior packets have been distributed. No calls have been received from anyone regarding any seniors needing services.. Alexian Brothers Medical Center home care gave us figures- on those over 65 needing post hospital home care. The figures show that 900 of those over 65 need home care. The question now is whether the home care received is adequate. Pat McHale and Nancy: Yiannias will meet with Brenda Anderson to discuss. this question. A report of the Senior Citizen Program of the Elk Grove/ Schaumburg Mental Health Center was discussed. The report was written- to the Planning and Evaluation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Mental Health Center. After reviewing the report, the Board of Health expressed concern over the following facts: 1) Only one in-home face to face .assessment visit per client per year is made. 2) Most case management activities are monitored through volunteers and housekeeping staff. These activities raised concerns that the seniors are not adequately serviced and the Mental Health Center is the CCU (Community Care Unit) that services all of Elk Grove and Schaumburg Township seniors. The Board of Health would like further information on the Senior - Program. The following information will be gathered: Board of Health - Minutes November 6, 1984 - pz 2 1) A copy of the dental Health Grant Proposal from the Area Agency on Aging for 1983 and 1984 (Brian Lovelace) plus budget allocation. 2) Obtain a copy of the guidelines for CCU criteria from NSC - Sue Siegel. 3) Obtain figure of Schaumburg Townships allocation to the Senior Program and/or Mental Health Center (Arlene T:) 4) Obtain figure of Elk Grove Township Allocation to the Senior Program and/or Mental Health Center (Jane Broten) B.
