2. Introduction and Narrative of Significant
AAA Highlights and Accomplishments
Fiscal year 2005-2006 was a year of strong growth in many AAA program areas.
The AAA made a number of significant outreach accomplishments. By leveraging funds
and resources with community partners,we were able to offer a series of health fairs that
raised the community's awareness of available services and how to access them as well as
provide health education and screenings. Examples of three health fairs included a Mini
Information and Health Fair to target low income and rural residents of Byron and a Senior
Appreciation Day—Health&Resource Fair for low income seniors in Bay Point.
Collaborations with local hospitals, adult education centers, and other senior organizations
also enabled the AAA to successfully co-sponsor five exercise/wellness forums. Over 750
older adults participated in these forums,which provided exercise demonstrations,
information about low and no cost exercise classes available in the community, and expert
advice from nutritionists, medical professionals and fitness instructors. Three of these
exercise/wellness forums were specifically targeted to and designed for low-income,
disabled and or frail seniors to help them improve their overall health and ability to
physically function at a higher level.
The three CCC coalitions had a busy year and some of their accomplishments follow:
• The Central County Coalition held it's annual Mary Shockley event which honored
eight Senior Center Volunteers
• The East County Senior Coalition held a conference entitled Exercising Your Mind
and Body after 50 to inform older adults about the benefits of exercise and healthy
eating.
• The West County Senior Coalition was successful in obtaining new senior advocacy
staff positions for the City of Richmond. AAA sr. staff assistants took active roles in
their Senior Information and Health Fair.
Four Time of Your Life television shows were produced and broadcasted on CCTV.
Community feedback has been very positive on the change over to this new venue having
a focus on staying active and preventing disease.
Two aging initiatives that through their activities have become central to the goals and
objectives of the AAA Area Plan continued. The first is the CCC Acute and Long Term
Integration Plan (ACTCI)a comprehensive, consumer friendly proposed case management
model of bundling both medical and community based services through a completely
integrated case management process. While we have been unsuccessful in our efforts to
gain legislative support for long term care legislation this past year,we have made progress
in several other areas of Long Tern Care Integration in CCC County. The coordination of
home and community based services and County departments is a key factor in long term
Care Integration (ALTCI). During the planning for ALTCI we have worked with other county
departments, Health Services and the CCC Health Plan to increase communication and
2/26/2007 3
relationships with the senior community,which AAA Advisory Council is an integrated part,
the disabilities community and community based organizations. Key accomplishments over
the past year include:
• A comprehensive and integrated case management assessment tool has been
developed and is ready to be piloted with both county case management programs
and CBOs case management programs.
• A Meet and Greet was held bringing together countywide case management
program staff to look at areas of both duplication and opportunities for collaboration.
• ALTCI Work Groups including consumers,Advisory Council members, network
providers and staff have met to share ideas and develop the structure and
implementation tools for Acute and Long Term Care Integration.
• In preparation for ALTCI, education was provided to CBO's regarding the
demographics of the increasing aged population in CCC. One on one interaction
with the CBO's was provided through a Partners in Planning Workshop
The second initiative is Contra Costa for Every Generation (CCEG)which has identified the
AAA as a key partner in meeting the goals of CCEG. Over the last year, the AAA Advisory
Council members and AAA staff have been active stakeholders in the development and
integration of the CCEG Mission and goals to create"aging"friendly communities in CCC.
From serving as conveners on the CCEG Transportation& Involvement in the Community
initiatives,to serving on the CCEG Steering Committee to participation in the work groups,
AAA Advisory Council members and AAA staff have actively participated in ensuring that
CCEG goals are met. Key accomplishments include:
• Application assistance for establishing CCEG as a 501c3.
• Development of the"Ambassador Program'; a training program to develop advocacy
and civic engagement skills for residents of CCC. The curriculum includes:
o CCEG Orientation and Instruction
o Communication skills
o Generational, Cultural and Interpersonal competencies
o Political Processes
o Engagement processes
o Issue Areas
Through the CCEG"Ambassador Program"training, community volunteers will learn the
following skills and strategies:
• Educate the community and policy makers
• Establish effective networks
• Form a stronger body
• Support effective public policies
• Get community people involved
2/26/2007 4
• Work as allies
• Create public interest in issues related to aging friendly communities
• Bring important issues to support aging friendly communities to the community
focus.
With an emphasis on transportation needs of seniors during year 2005/2006, some of the
AAA's transportation highlights are:
• Drafted an RFP for a non-emergency transportation Brokerage system for the CCC
ALTCI project.
• AAA transportation consultants received the CCEG Community Award for
Excellence as the representatives of a public agency that have done the most to
help make!Contra Costa County"aging friendly'.
• Multiple local senior transportation programs launched as a result of the community
based work of the AAA Senior Mobility Project.
• Coordinated a successful 3-agency effort to obtain foundation funding for a pilot
program to subsidize Para-transit rides and the cost of the Regional Transit Discount
Connection card for low-income residents of Central County.
• Writing and publishing of'Way to Go! Contra Costa", a countywide transportation
resource guide. 25,000 printed in English and 5,000 in Spanish and distributed
county wide.
• With the assistance of the AAA Senior Mobility Project, Senior Helpline Services
launched"Rides for Seniors", a free transportation program for homebound seniors
provided by volunteer drivers driving their own cars.
• Production of the Mobility=Independence Conference, a day long, countywide forum
on senior transportation. Over 200 persons attended.
HICAP had a bury and productive year,highlights of their year included:
• HICAP developed seven Medicare Part D fact sheets designed for low-income
seniors that were translated into six languages including Spanish and Chinese. The
materials were widely distributed.
• HICAP services were advertised on CCN public television and in local newspapers.
• 200+ presentations on Medicare Part D were made countywide by the HICAP staff.
• A comparison of Medicare HMOs in CCC was produced and distributed countywide.
• HICAP offered presentations on Medicare Part D to County staff including mental
health workers and the Conservator's office, as well as the CCC Advisory Council on
Aging, the West County Senior Coalition and the Central and East County Coalitions
and hospice social workers.
2/26/2007 5
A Summary of Ideas generated as a result of discussion of service system changes in
anticipation of the surge in growth on the aging population in CCC included:
1) The addition of an Automatic Call Distribution (ACD)System to our Information and
Assistance phone system. This new system would provide efficiency of staff use,
provide more data on effectiveness of the I &A service and most importantly provide
better customer service to our callers.
3) Partnering with the CCC Work Force Development Board in securing funding and
resources to offer better and increased employment opportunities to CCC seniors.
4) Reorganization of staff resources to offer additional grant writing assistance and
support to out CBO's but also to secure additional funding streams for the AAA to
develop and support service for the aging surge.
5) Initiate quarterly Provider Councils to provide additional data and assistance to our
CBO's in developing the infrastructure to accommodate increased seniors and their
needs.
7) Continue our commitment and support to this CCEG movement in creating a strong
community advocacy volunteers.
8) Set up a system with the Advisory Council to increase our data collection on seniors
to facilitate AAA strategic planning for increased senior services.
9) Continue to work with consumers, CBO's and other county departments in our
development of ALTCI, an integrated case management model that will allow CCC
seniors to age in the community.

OBJECTIVES Projected Title III B
Start&End Funded Status
Dates PD or C
1. In order to address the increased need for affordable 9/1/05- C Continued
housing and financial assistance,AAA Sr.Staff 12/31/05
Assistant will form a collaborative/task force to partner
with the National Shared Housing Resource Center
(NSHRC)and San Mateo Human Investment Project
(HIP)and will meet monthly to explore the feasibility
of duplicating the HIP model in CCC to add
coordinated shared housing services,assistance with
home equity conversion,and property development.
Rather then duplicating efforts by creating a new task
force,the AAA.Sr.Staff Assistant joined the Contra
Costa For Every Generation Housing Initiative Group.
This has proven to be the perfect venue for moving
forward on all activities included in this objective,
however,shared housing is not currently on the
priority list of activities.As housing and other needs
continue to become less affordable and as more
Baby-Boomers retire,shared housing may become a
popular option.The effort to promote shared housing
will,therefore,continue.
2. In order to assure those aged 60 or older with low- 7/1/05- Continued
incomes,who are ethnically or culturally diverse, 6/30/06
limited English-speaking and/or have the greatest

3. Targeting--
To assure that the segment of our senior population with the greatest economic and social
needs have access to services available to them, Area Agency on Aging (AAA)and
programs funded through our agency placed considerable emphasis on targeting seniors
who have low-incomes, mental or physical disabilities, language barriers, and those who
are isolated due to cultural, social, and geographical factors.
AAA required contractors to target and serve individuals with the greatest social and
economic needs as part of their contractual obligation and compliance in accordance with
the Older Americans Act and Older Californians Act. Based on targeting guidelines, 35% of
new clients served shall be persons with the greatest economic need, at least 25%shall be
persons with the:greatest social need, at least 25% shall be minority persons, and at least
15% shall be minority persons of greatest economic need. Our Requests for Proposals
(RFP's) required bidders, when submitting proposals to provide services, to include a
2/26/2007
41
community outreach plan that is inclusive of racial and ethnic minority groups and
individuals who are economically disadvantaged or disabled.
Additionally,the AAA utilized a multi-prong approach to conduct community outreach and
education, which targeted seniors who are economically and socially disadvantaged while
also reaching the community at large. To start,AAA staff informed the community about
available services by speaking to groups and making one-on-one contact with individuals at
service clubs, community events, senior centers, churches, senior housing facilities, and
other locations where seniors congregate.
AAA's InfoVan, "an information center on wheels,"also traveled throughout the county,
including to rural communities, to disseminate information about services and how to
access them. In consideration of the county's diverse population, InfoVan was stocked with
not only information printed in English but also in languages such as Lao, Russian,
Spanish,Vietnamese, Chinese, and Korean.
To increase the community's knowledge of and access to community resources, the AAA
also maintained a user-friendly website, www.contracosta.networkofcare.org produced and
aired on Contra Costa Television a senior interest television show, Time of Your Life; and
published the quarterly Senior Information Newsletter.
The website enabled seniors, people with disabilities, and caregivers to obtain information
on services, caregiving, assistive devices, and legislative updates when they need it.
Information on the website is updated regularly and is accessible in English and six other
languages.
The Time of Your Life television show, hosted by a professional broadcast journalist,
addressed issues such as, preventive health, nutrition, exercise, and the importance of
staying active in order to show seniors how they can improve and/or maintain their health
and prevent chronic illnesses.
The Senior Information Newsletter is disseminated to approximately 17,000 households, of
which about 6,000 are low-income and disabled adults and seniors who require assistance
with activities-of-daily living from the county's In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) program.
Readers rely on the newsletter for information about available services, community events,
legislative updates, and health information. The health information page of the newsletter is
printed in English, Spanish, Lao, Russian, and Vietnamese.
AAA also made considerable efforts to partner with senior coalitions, community
organizations, legislators, and agencies in our Aging Network to identify and implement
practical solutions aimed at improving both the access to and quality of senior services.
A number of outreach and educational programs were developed for East Contra Costa
County seniors as a result of the AAA working collaboratively with our community partners.
These programs included a Mini-Information &Health Fair that brought resources and
health screenings to the rural and isolated community of Byron. A Senior Appreciation Day
—Health &Resource Fair that provided resources and critical health screenings and
education to Bay Point's low-income,African-American, and Latino seniors,who tend to be
2/26/2007 42
in poorer health and have less medical coverage than the overall senior population. Events
that brought both young and old in the community together to learn about HIV/AIDS
prevention and support services available to assist individuals living with the disease. An
Exercise Your Mind&Body conference that provided fitness information and
demonstrations/workshops to encourage, motivate, and teach older adults how to stay fit
and improve their overall health and well-being.
In West Contra Costa County, the AAA continued to work with the West County Senior
Coalition, a recognizable and trusted senior advocacy group. The coalition,with support
from the AAA, achieved a number of accomplishments, including successfully hosting a
town hall meeting to give seniors an opportunity to voice their concerns and discuss
important senior issues with elected officials and community leaders. Coalition members
and AAA staff also rallied and took action to help the fledgling Money Management
Program secure funding so it may sustain its bill-paying service to low-income and disabled
seniors. Collaborative efforts in West County also helped to produce community events
such as Seniors'Night Out, an evening of dinner and entertainment for homebound seniors
and the Richmond Information Faire, where approximately 1,000 seniors from West County
came to learn about community services.
In Central Contra Costa County, the AAA teamed up with John Muir Medical Center and
Mt. Diablo Adult Education Center to co-sponsor Going Strong–Fitness Options After 50.
Over 300 seniors and Baby Boomers came to this popular event, held on the campus of
Pleasant Hill Education Center, to participate in exercise demonstrations/workshops and to
learn from fitness experts about how to improve and maintain their health. The AAA also
partnered with the Office of County Supervisor Gayle Uilkema, Office of Emergency
Services, and other agencies to develop the EVAC PAC Pilot Project. The goal of the
project is to help seniors, particularly those with disabilities, organize and keep their
medications and medical information in an emergency pack, which they can quickly take
with them in the event they have to evacuate their homes due to an earthquake or other
disasters.
The AAA also partnered with In-Home Support Services (IHSS)and Public Authority to
organize and sponsor three regional wellness trainings to benefit the most vulnerable
segment of the county's senior population—low-income, frail, and/or disabled individuals
who are dependent on caregivers for assistance with their activities of daily living. The
trainings provided nutrition and low-impact exercise information specifically designed to
help frail and disabled individuals improve their health and ability to function at a higher
level.
Finally, to better serve seniors in Contra Costa County, particularly those with the greatest
economic and social needs, the AAA joined and helped develop a number of countywide
collaborative movements.AAA staff contributed leadership and support to help the For
Every Generation collaborative work towards its goal of making Contra Costa County a
great place to age in. The collaborative is made up of over 300 individuals from the private,
public, and non-profit sectors, who have made the commitment to address six initiatives to
make Contra Costa a more aging-friendly community. These six initiatives are
Transportation, Healthcare and Wellness, Support Services, Housing, Neighborhood
Quality of Life, and Involvement in.the Community. The Acute Long Term Care Integration
2/26/2007 43
Pilot Project is another collaborative designed to make a positive and broad impact in
Contra Costa County. The project is moving one step closer to developing a coordinated
and consumer-friendly program of integrated long-term medical, home, and community-
based services to address the needs of low-income seniors and people with disabilities.
Partners in this project include the AAA, Contra Costa Health Plan; and Contra Costa
Health Department.

5. Title III D and Medication Management
The AAA provided a variety of health promotion, disease prevention, and medication
management activities to enhance the health and well-being of older adults in Contra Costa
County. AAA staff published a quarterly Health Information Page in the Senior Information
Newsletter, produced programs on the television show Time of Your Life, gave
presentations, and disseminated fact sheets at community events and on our website,
www.contracosta.networkofcare.orp to show older adults how to live a healthy lifestyle and
prevent certain diseases/health problems.
A series of health fairs were organized by the AAA and our community partners to provide
information about community resources and disaster preparedness as well as health
education and screenings for diabetes, high blood pressure, osteoporosis, dental problems,
and other medical problems. The AAA also co-sponsored five exercise forums to motivate
older adults to exercise and eat healthy. Over 750 older adults participated in these
forums, which provided exercise demonstrations, information about low and no cost
exercise classes available in the community, and expert advice and motivation from
nutritionists, medical professionals, and fitness instructors.
Pill boxes and educational materials were distributed to older adults in order to help them
organize their medications.. AAA also worked with our community partners to develop the
EVAC PAC Pilot Project. The goal of the project is to help seniors, particularly those with
disabilities, organize and keep their medications and medical information in an emergency
pack, which they can quickly take with them in the event they have to evacuate their homes
due to an earthquake or other disasters.
