Message from the Director Marion Owen The year 2019 was a milestone for the Tri-County Office on Aging (TCOA) as it was the 45th year supporting and serving our community. Whew! What began as a 3-4-person agency in one room in the Lansing City Hall has evolved into a multi-building agency with 107 staff persons and over 1,800 volunteers. Over the years, tens of thousands of older adults, adults with disabilities, and their caregivers have been connected to community supports and resources through TCOA. TCOA could not have accomplished all it has without the dedicated and talented staff, Board and Advisory Council, Friends For Independence fundraising council, effective advocacy, quality and meaningful programs, public accountability, overarching philosophy of person-centered practice and heart.

The year 2019 was also the year that the Tri-County Office on Aging achieved a 3-year accreditation status, the most prestigious accreditation status attainable, from the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) for Case Management of Long-Term Supports and Services (LTSS) for the Medicaid Waiver Program. NCQA standards are intended to guide organizations toward achieving the highest level of performance possible, increase adherence to care guidelines and create an environment of continuous quality improvement. Earning NCQA’s Accreditation of Case Management for LTSS demonstrates that TCOA is dedicated to coordinating the delivery of services in a person-centered and integrated manner to help individuals function optimally in their preferred setting. Achieving national accreditation through NCQA is a highly intensive process that spanned several fiscal years, included staff from multiple programs and involved TCOA assessing nearly every aspect of program operation, including how services are delivered, to ensure the highest level of quality and person-centeredness. As a result of the NCQA accreditation process, TCOA updated nearly all facets of programmatic functions and greatly increased staff training as well as broadening the scope of the trainings. Achieving accreditation from a national accrediting body ensures TCOA’s continued relevance in an ever-changing healthcare arena.

Partnerships continue with various organizations, including the MSU College of Medicine. One initiative is benefiting older adults by enhancing the awareness of Internal Medicine Residents to the non-medical home and community-based services available to assist their patients.

In December of 2018, TCOA received the respected YMCA of Metropolitan Lansing Kelly Dean Award for Healthy Living Community Impact.

Later in the fiscal year, the Ingham County Board of Commissioners started discussions on placing a Senior Millage on the ballot for 2020.

The Annual Report for 2020 will encompass much of the accomplishments and challenges of living through the COVID-19 crisis and hopefully life will return to normal, or close to normal, and a vaccine will hopefully eradicate the virus. I am so grateful that essential services continue making it possible for older adults to continue to remain safe and independent.

Be safe and thanks to the staff, volunteers, Advisory Council and Board members, and Friends For Independence fundraising council for all of your time and support.

Accomplishments Noteworthy Accomplishments At-A-Glance Provided information and assistance, outreach & education (including elder abuse

topics) to 27,000+ seniors, caregivers and the general public Nearly 1,400 frail persons received care management and essential in-home services

supporting them to remain independent in the community and out of a nursing home Over 1,700 volunteers delivered Meal on Wheels, some delivering several times a

month. Just over 500,000 meals were served to persons who are unable to prepare nutritious meals, many connecting with the only person who checks on them regularly

Over 2,000 received elder abuse education information or materials

NCQA Update TCOA achieved a 3-year accreditation status from the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) for Case Management of Long-Term Supports and Services (LTSS) through the Project Choices/MI Choice Medicaid Waiver Program. Earning NCQA Accreditation demonstrates that TCOA is dedicated to coordinating the delivery of care in a person-centered manner to help individuals function optimally in their preferred setting.

Volunteer Spotlight Without volunteers, programs like Meals on Wheels, Congregate Dining Sites, Wellness and Caregiver Workshops, and the Medicare/Medicaid Assistance Program would simply not exist. TCOA launched the Volunteer Spotlight to recognize and honor one volunteer each month who makes an outstanding contribution of time and talent to a TCOA program. Volunteers will always be essential to older adult services, and sharing their stories helps others appreciate their role, and inspires the community to learn how they, too, can support older adults. Go to page 23 for the Volunteer Spotlights of 2019!

Older Americans Act Reauthorization The Older Americans Act (OAA) of 1965 was due for reauthorization. The Act covers home delivered meals and many other in-home services that TCOA provides or coordinates. Agencies that serve older adults advocated for increases to the OAA funding to keep up with population growth. On September 18, 2019, the House Education and Labor Committee approved the Dignity in Aging Act, which reauthorized the Older Americans Act for five years, through 2024. The bill had not yet gone before the full House as of the end of the TCOA fiscal year.

Quality Assurance TCOA’s MI Choice Waiver program saw a substantial increase in scores related to the Clinical Quality Assurance Review in FY 2019. The MI Choice Waiver program achieved an overall compliance percentage of 97.04% and an overall compliance rating of 3.82 out of 4, which indicates that TCOA substantially met quality assurances in FY 2019.

 

5 

& Agency Updates Statewide Needs Assessment All Michigan Area Agencies on Aging were asked to assist with a client phone survey through the Administration for Community Living, covering satisfaction for Older Americans Act funded services, specifically home delivered and congregate meals, transportation, home making, and care management services.

Kellie Dean Award The YMCA of Metropolitan Lansing honored TCOA with the Kellie Dean Healthy Living Community Impact Award in December, 2018 in recognition of the agency’s evidence-based health and wellness programs and TCOA’s commitment to improving and expanding access to healthy living opportunities through collaboration.  

Retiring the TCOA 5K - Run for the Ages After six years of hosting the TCOA 5K, a decision was made to retire the event and refocus fundraising efforts elsewhere. Over the years, the event was supported by generous network partners and local businesses, and an average of 160 community members ran the down-and-back course at Hawk Island County Park each year.

Caregiver Appreciation Project TCOA requested and received funding from UAW Local 4911 to help us recognize family caregivers during a special Caregiver Appreciation initiative during the month of May. TCOA received referrals from clients, community members, and others who wanted to recognize a caregiver in their lives. All who were referred received a special thank you card and magnet with self-care tips.

Medicare/Medicaid Assistance Program (MMAP) MMAP worked to recruit and train counselors and volunteers, successfully adding 8 new counselors to the team, and served almost 3,000 individuals. Efficiency improved by completing healthcare applications online through portals to minimize processing time and loss of paperwork. TCOA MMAP counselors worked with Disability Network Capital Area to market MMAP services to untapped areas, and connected with community partners to increase referrals to MMAP. The Regional Coordinator completed a training for Navigators in the Ingham Health Department and Ingham Health Plan, so they are better able to understand when a MMAP referral is appropriate and vice versa.

Caring for Patients with Chronic Conditions (CPCC) The MSU School of Medicine and Joan Ilardo, PhD., in collaboration with TCOA, worked with Medical Residents to teach new physicians about cost-effective integration of medical and non-medical community-based supports and services as they care for their older patients with chronic conditions.

Sandra attends an Adult Day Center four days per week. She lives with her son and daughter-in-law, who work second shift. Sandra gets a ride to and from the day center so that when her son and daughter-in-law are at work, she has a place where she is not only cared for, but also where she thrives. Sandra is 74 years old and has had 27 surgeries over her lifetime. In spite of physical setbacks, Sandra says she must “keep moving.” She knows she has to remain active and the Adult Day Center gives her a welcoming space to remain socially and physically engaged.

Sandra has been attending this day center for 5.5 years; longer than any other person there. She has made many friends over the years and is the de facto “tour guide” for the newcomers. She shared that her favorite activity is bingo. They also do exercises, which help her in her pursuit to remain physically active. She shared that they have “group therapy-like” sessions in which members can talk about anything “good or bad” and expressed how these times have helped her have someone to talk to who will listen. She says, “It really helps my mind.” Sandra has had to cope with several difficult challenges in life, including

the death of one of her sons. The importance of being able to tell her story and hear the stories of others cannot be understated. The center has enriched her life, and she shared that her life would be “awful” without it. Sandra was a nurse in California for 24 years and her specialty was “making people laugh.” Here, Sandra continues to make people laugh, and leads a full life in the company of others.

“Our grandma used to come [to a dining site] every Tuesday before she died. She loved it, and looked forward to it every

week. After she passed, we wanted to do something to honor her. We started coming on Tuesdays to serve and

wash dishes…both of our kids have learned so much from the grandmas and grandpas. We are grateful.”

Jen and Emma, Dining Site Volunteers

“Your meals are wonderful and financially it allows us to pay utility bills. Thank you.”

Meals on Wheels Client

“The [Chronic Pain PATH] workshop taught me the benefits of getting better sleep, eating healthy, and pacing myself.

The workshops also covered many other subjects like methods to manage my frustration and emotions…

I particularly liked that [the facilitators] taught us to create action plans…Through making these action plans, we

learned to set realistic goals for ourselves. Successfully accomplishing these goals, I found my spirits improved as I

learned I could take control of my life.”

Chronic Pain PATH Participant

“Since I began receiving my Meals on Wheels, my daughter says that my speech has improved and that I do not have

that far-away look to my eyes. I notice that I have more interest in my surroundings and am doing more activities.

I have even started walking again. They say you have to eat to lose weight. I am down ten pounds and feel good. Thanks

to everyone at Meals on Wheels.”

2019 Administrative Board The TCOA Consortium Board is a cooperative intergovernmental body composed of elected officials (or their designees) including representation from the Mayors’ Offices, Lansing and

East Lansing City Councils, and the Clinton, Eaton and Ingham County Commissions.

2019 Friends For Independence Coordinating Council (FFI) The Friends For Independence Coordinating Council was formed to help raise local dollars to supplement public funding by planning and organizing annual fundraisers, such as a

dinner and auction, golf outing and direct mail appeals. The Council is a key part of increasing private sector awareness and support for TCOA.

Quality = Choice, Satisfaction and Independence (CSI) Q=CSI is a consumer based advisory group that defines quality as perceived by the

consumer for Project Choices and the Self-Determination Option in order to provide access and increase quality care.

Care Management & Case Coordination

Tom was a client on TCOA’s Project Choices/Mi Choice Waiver program. For Tom, his person-centered care plan meant he received in-home services such as meals, physical

therapy, and a personal care aide to assist with everyday tasks that many of us take for granted. After several months in the program, Tom made tremendous gains in his

functionality and no longer required high level daily Medicaid-funded services. He does still require some assistance to remain independent, and was able to transition to TCOA’s

Care Management program continuing to empower him to live on his own.
