Thill distributed and reviewed the 2008 COP Plan Update. Hebel reviewed the annual Care Management/Support Service Coordination Capacity Report. The number of staff hours available is adequate and meets the assessment, plan, and care management needs of our COP & Waiver programs. Rego moved to accept the 2008 plan update, seconded by Irwin, passed by unanimous vote.
Hebel provided committee with an update on Long Term Care Redesign. Sauk County has submitted application for ADRC development along with seven other counties in the Southwest Coalition: Richland, Green, Juneau, Iowa, Crawford, Lafayette, and Grant. This coalition is also preparing to submit application to provide Family Care services to citizens in the eight (8) county region. This new program will hopefully alleviate waiting lists in Sauk County by 2010.
Thill explained to committee that as part of Family Care development, it is important to have input from the public, particularly persons who are elderly and disabled. The coalition is asking for input from each county. Thill asked for citizen members to contact her by February 25, 2008 if interested in being on this local workgroup.
