2 Message from the President/CEO
The last year has been a truly challenging time. We have suffered through a year with the State of Illinois having no budget and funding uncertainties from the Federal Government. Yet the need for our services continues to grow. While Illinois populations have decreased in the last few years, the 60+ aged populations still continues to grow. From 2013 to 2014, Illinois had an increase of 3.4% in the senior population. The needs are continually growing. In addition, we are serving caregivers, grandparents raising grandchildren and persons with disabilities whom are under the age of 60, thus we are truly serving people of all ages. The total number of people we served in our last fiscal year was over Keith Rider, CMA 28,000 people in our 6 county service area.
Our mission has changed to an intergenerational cliental. We can help persons of all ages, income and abilities seeking information and assistance about personal services, care of relatives and friends and programs and services for long term care and support. We will be a part of the No Wrong Door State of Illinois initiative in which people of all ages can get help no matter who they contact for help. Our staff is AIRS certified (Certified Information and Assistance Specialist) and are trained to provide information and assistance all that need it. We have trained Options Counselors who value consumer choice and consumer control and help them make their own decisions regarding their care options. Our agency also coordinates and works with other agencies and organizations in our area through our ADRN (Aging and Disability Resource Network) and the Caring Connection.
We are also pleased to offer evidence-based health promotion programs, including Chronic Disease Self- Management Workshop, Diabetes Self-Management Workshop, Active Living Every Day Workshop, and A Matter of Balance Program, Healthy IDEAS depression screening along with other programs which help participants take action for a safer and healthier future. We continue to fund nutrition programs, transportation programs, information and assistance, legal help, medication management, ombudsman program, mental health screening, caregiver support programs, outreach and other services. All these programs make a difference in our service area.
We have many challenges going forward, but we also have many benefits. Our staff and volunteers are all top-notch and I give them all a much needed thank you. We cannot do what we do without everyone. Also, many thanks go to our board and council members. Your input is greatly appreciated. Our partner agencies are also to be thanked and appreciated for the great job they do. It takes all of us working together to make a difference in our communities and with our seniors.
