Prince George’s County Department Of Family Services Aging and Disabilities Services Division 301-265-8450 www.princegeorgescountymd.gov/aging The Aging and Disabilities Services Division mission is to plan services and programs to meet the needs of older adults and their families; provide education on the available options; and advocate for the rights and protection of older adults. This is accomplished through the delivery of quality services, successful partnerships, and community outreach. The Aging and Disabilities Services Division vision is to provide the highest quality of services which offers options, and promotes independence for older adults and their families.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS Prince George’s County Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) offers a single point of contact for older adults, individuals with disabilities, and their families who need information, referral, assistance and options counseling to deal with the complex and continually changing nature of aging programs, services and benefits. The Prince George’s County ADRC serves as the local Maryland Access Point (MAP) and is a partnership effort with the local Health Department, Department of Social Services and Independence Now, Inc. This collaboration facilitates a one-stop shop for older persons, persons with disabilities and their families.

Family Caregiving Program provides assistance to caregivers; that includes family, friends, and members of the community, with access to support groups, problem solving, education, and respite care.

The caregiver provides care to an older individual who may be losing their ability to live and care for themselves independently. This program is supported by Federal Title IIIE funds.

STATE Health Insurance Program (SHIP) ) provides free health insurance counseling and assistance to persons 55 years and older. Trained volunteer counselors provide information about Medicare, Medicaid, Medigap, Long-Term Care Insurance, Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs), claims, appeals, and about physician or hospital bills.

Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) is a program designed to reduce the amount of federal and state funds lost due to health insurance fraud by increasing the public’s ability to detect and report possible fraud, waste, and abuse. retirementlivingsourcebook.com | 800-394-9990

Hospital to Home (H2H) ) is a service provided to patients admitted to the Prince George’s Hospital Center with certain risk factors to include: chronic admissions, dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid, and history of illnesses such as COPD, CHF, and complications related to diabetes. The Aging and Disabilities Services Division has an Options Counselor staffed at the hospital two days per week to assist the discharge planning team with coordinating services for patients to include screening and referrals for long-term care services. These services support patients’ needs in the community and to maximize their health and wellness.

Community Options Waiver enables older adults and individuals with disabilities to remain in a community setting even though their advanced age or disability would warrant placement in a long-term care facility. The Waiver allows services that are typically covered by Medicaid only in a long term care facility to be provided to eligible persons in their own homes or in assisted living facilities.

Community First Choice (CFC) provides community services and supports to enable older adults and individuals with disabilities to live in their own home. Services include personal assistance, nurse monitoring, and home delivered meals.

Community Personal Assistance Services (CPAS) formerly known as the Medical Assistance Personal Care Program (MAPC) provides support to individuals who require assistance with their activities of daily living, but do not need an institutional level of care. Community Personal Assistance Services allow individuals who are chronical ill, frail, or disabled the opportunity to stay in their home by granting personal support with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and meal preparation. Other services include nurse monitoring and support planning.

Money Follows the Person (MFP) is a demonstration project designed to streamline the transition process for individuals who chose to transition from a long-term care facility to a community setting. A community setting as defined by MFP is a residential setting with four or less unrelated residents. The Aging and Disabilities Services Division will serve as the local single point of entry for applicants.

w w w.pgspn.org Senior Nutrition Program provides older persons with a nutritionally sound and satisfying meal in strategically located congregate sites and/or in the seniors home. The program provides the framework and support for not only an American meal, but also a kosher meal program.

Senior Assisted Living Group Home Subsidy Program combines housing with supportive services for seniors who need regular assistance with daily activities, but are not in need of nursing home placement. By offering congregate meals, housekeeping, personal services and 24-hour supervision, this program enables frail elders to continue living in the community. The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and the County Health Department license all homes. Homes that are enrolled in the Senior Assisted Living Group Subsidy Program that have subsidy residents are monitored quarterly by the Aging and Disabilities Services Division program monitor. All other 4-16 bed Assisted Living Facilities are monitored every 12-15 months.

Senior Care funds services for seniors who may be at risk of nursing home placement. Clients can access publicly funded services, or if they are not available, Senior Care will make arrangements with private vendors. These services can include personal care, chore, adult day care, financial help for medications, medical supplies, respite care, home delivered meals, emergency response system, transportation, and others. Senior Care is a gap-filling program for seniors 65 years of age and older who have limited income and assets.

Long Term Care Ombudsman Program promotes the highest quality of life and care possible for residents in long term care facilities. The Ombudsman, with assistance of volunteers, investigates and seeks resolutions to problems, which affect residents' rights, health, care, safety and welfare.

Public Guardianship Program ensures the provision of optimum care/services for adjudicated wards of the court, through professional case management. As an agent of the Circuit Court, case management decisions are made pertaining to medical care, living arrangement and overall personal welfare issues.

Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) is a subsidized employment program and training which provides part-time employment and training for low-income older adults and improves and expands community services where needed.

Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) provides volunteer opportunities for over 400 seniors, age 55 and older. Volunteers serve in a variety of interesting and challenging assignments at over 50 non-profit organizations, schools and government agencies. In addition, RSVP offers such programs as friendly visiting, telephone reassurance, tutoring to school aged children, and provides supportive services to community and government agencies.

Telephone Reassurance Program recruits volunteers from the community, senior centers and other volunteer programs to place daily reassuring telephone calls to senior citizens within Prince George's County. The goal of the program is to eliminate some of the concerns facing senior citizens who live alone, thereby, assisting in remaining independent. The program provides the opportunity for senior citizens to connect by telephone with a friendly voice. This allows individuals to stay in contact with their community and to help decrease the feelings of loneliness and isolation. The program also provides added peace of mind for relatives who live out of town.

Foster Grandparent Program provides opportunities for older volunteers to work with physically, mentally and emotionally handicapped children in schools and special centers throughout the county. These children would otherwise be without the personal attention necessary for their social adjustment and maturation.

Evidence-Based Chronic Disease SelfManagement is in partnership with Prince George's Community College to provide the “Living Well� Chronic Disease Self-Management Program to older adults in the County. This program is a workshop given two and half hours, once a week, for six weeks, in community settings. People with different chronic health problems attend together. Workshops are facilitated by two trained leaders, one or both of whom are non-health professionals with a chronic disease themselves. This program is especially helpful for people with chronic illness, as it gives them the skills to coordinate all the things needed to manage their health, as well as to help them keep active in their lives.

Health Promotion and Disease Prevention is a program designed to promote and educate the ideas and importance of a healthy lifestyle to senior citizens that attend Aging and Disabilities Service Division sponsored programs.
