<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> AGING <br /> <br /> AGING <br /> <br /> <br /> Non-Contracted Services <br /> <br /> 1. Aging and Disability Resource Center Development Project <br /> a. Continue to convene at least 4 quarterly meetings of the ADRC <br /> stakeholders/advisory group to discuss/address matters that pertain to the pilot <br /> ADRC project in Hilo. <br /> Meetings of stakeholders and the advisory committee were held in 2007. <br /> 2008 dates will be determined as the site opening date finalizes and a <br /> timetable for activity can be projected. <br /> <br /> b. Compile and develop a training module to prepare prospective ADRC <br /> staff/volunteers and/or partners pass the Alliance of Information and Assistance <br /> System's Examination to become Certified Information & Assistance/Referral <br /> Specialist - Aging. <br /> HCOA has Enhanced Level membership in the Alliance of Information and <br /> Referral Systems (AIRS). With this membership level, HCOA will access <br /> <br /> study resources to train a core of Information and Assistance/Referral <br /> certified staff. The State ADRC project contracted the University of Hawaii <br /> (UH) which created a Customer Service curriculum. All ADRC based staff <br /> will be trained by the UH and with potential to also include community <br /> partners. <br /> c. Develop and produce ADRC marketing/outreach materials. <br /> <br /> HCOA staff working with the Aging and Disability Resource Center State <br /> Project Coordinator and advisory committee, participated in developing a <br /> draft state marketing plan. Hawaii County will participate in the marketing <br /> plan with timing of activities determined at the county level to mesh with the <br /> center's development. <br /> d. Develop and publish an ADRC resource directory both in print and electronic <br /> formats. <br /> <br /> A shift in strategy is being considered to enhance and merge resource tools <br /> already present and used by the County of Hawaii. Instead of creating a <br /> new resource directory, HCOA will look at electronic access to HCOA's <br /> website which presently includes a resource and service search component. <br /> The Parks and Recreation Department's Elderly Affairs Division maintains <br /> an excellent Resource Directory. Merging this with HCOA's Information <br /> and Services Directory for Seniors will create a comprehensive directory for <br /> elderly services. Enhancement of this directory will target inclusion of more <br /> specific resources for individuals with disabilities. <br /> <br /> <br /> Six Month Progress Report on Program Objectives for FY 2007-08 1 <br />
