Update - Health Impaired Elderly Search Lucy Dvorak was asked to give us the number of seniors. she serviced in the past year. Her agency serviced 178 from July, 1983 through June, 1984: These were only the number of intakes and gave no indication of the types of services rendered. The number of health impaired elderly . could not be extracted from that figure. NSC was also. contacted. Jean Hencell said her listings would not give us the information we are looking for. She feels that the best way to determine how many health impaired elderly was to obtain the number of seniors over 65 years of age. 1506 of. that number are health impaired (according to National Statistics) . Of the 15%, one third are in institutions and two thirds are living at home. Because of recent changes in management personnel in the departments that could obtain the information we wanted, ABI,1C was not contacted. This subject will be tabled for the September meeting. B:.
