Description

Hello Care Partners,Join us to learn more about Council on Aging from our guest Lisa Kruse. Lisa is an experienced Communication Professional at COA in SW Ohio. She is also a University of Xavier Graduate, COA is a vital organization serving the five counties in SW Ohio. They strive to serve older adults so they can stay in their homes as long as desired. Some of the services include meals delivered to the home and or transportation. Caregivers also get a lot of support with COA which may include a variety of safety equipment. There are also programs called Elderly Services which is a taxpayer funded program that can fill in the gap when someone is not low income enough for medicaid, however they are struggling to afford the needed care. Then there is a service called Passport for individuals who do qualify for medicaid and would be forced prematurely into nursing homes without it. COA is a non-profit and wants to provide the right amount of care, at the right time for the appropriate needs. Income does not determine eligibility for care so do not assume you are ineligible for services. There may be co-pays or sliding scale costs to make the services available. If you are looking for care in another part of the country you can use the eldercare locator. www.eldercare.acl.gov. This works on a zip code basis. Interesting fact: about 70% of Americans will probably need long term care but only 30% believe they will need it!! Huge discrepancy and COA hopes to keep the masses at home as desired. Caring for the caregiver is vitally important and the shortage of personal caregivers is at an all time low and many families are being thrust into providing personal care for their family members. Caregiver burnout frequently is the reason people end up in nursing homes too. COA is working hard to provide what is needed to keep a balance at home whether they are local or at a distance.
