PURPOSE: To seek authorization to provide on-sde psychosocial assessments and service
coordination for the residents of First Baptist and Manley Estates senior housing complex in
Chapel Hill with the goal of facilitating successful aging-in-place and the postponement of long-
term care institutionalization.
BACKGROUND: HUD housing complexes for seniors are designed for independent seniors;
therefore, no services such as meals, housekeeping, or personal care services are provided on-
site by the management. As seniors ags-in-place,their independence may be compromised by
physical andlor cognitive declines. Having a social worker on-site at the complex to provide
regular psychosocial assessments, collaboration on problem solving, and assistance with the
coordination of community resources should extend the time that seniors can live safely and
comfortably in this affordable setting.
The Master Aging Plan induced an objective (Goal I I-B/s-2)to assist the new HUD 202
Housing for the Elderly Project in the provision of support services and study contracting
provision of service coordination. HUD makes available to its properties a monthly stipend per
resident for the purchase of such service. Often,the service coordination Is contracted to an
outside consultant. If the consultant encounters a situation that needs further assistance, they
make a referrsl to the Department on Aging or other local Gore provider. The Department on
Aging proposes to provide the service coordination directly for this new facility, utilizing social
work interns under me direction of the master'a prepared social work staff. Thefacildy is
scheduled for dedication on January 27, 2002. These resident assessment and re-assessment
services will result In better access to community resources and to more intensive case
management services, should the need arise.
z
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The funds collected from Manley Estates ($151residerNmonth)will be
used for student intern stipends and expenses. Any additional funds will be used to purchase
respite services.
RECOMMENDATION($(: The Manager recommends that the Board authorize the Chair to
sign the Agreement to provide service coordination for the residents of the new First Baptist and
Manley Estates senior housing complex in Chapel Hill.
