chiEf executive offIcer’s message
T
his Annual Report for FY 2016-2017 demonstrates the resilience and dedication of the East Baton Rouge Council on Aging to provide for the needs of seniors in our parish. To the members of the East Baton Rouge Council on Aging, financial supporters, volunteers and the general public, your kindness and support during the year is appreciated. We would especially like to thank the countless number of friends and tireless advocates that rallied for our agency during our successful campaign for a millage. In addition, we cannot forget the numerous donors and volunteers that gave selflessly during the Flood of 2016; our seniors and our agency appreciate your commitment to the lives of the elderly. The impact our agency has had on seniors and their families in 2016 is tangible. After reading this report, which is only a snapshot of the work we perform daily, reflect upon the impact we have had across the region of East Baton Rouge Parish, (Central, Baker, Zachary). It is our goal that in the 2017-2018 fiscal year you will see an even bigger Council on Aging: serving additional seniors, opening new centers and eliminating the waiting lists of those needing meals. Our agency remains committed to our mission of “Supporting Independence – Serving Seniors.” We strive to maintain transparency and accountability with the resources the voters have entrusted to us. We invite you to get involved. Volunteer in one of our senior centers across the parish. Stand with us as we continue to improve the lives of seniors in East Baton Rouge Parish.

Board of Directors The East Baton Rouge Council on Aging (EBRCOA) is both an Area Agency on Aging (AAA) and a Council on Aging (COA). EBRCOA is governed by the Administration of Aging which is responsible for enforcing the Older Americans Act and the Governor’s Office of Elderly Affairs (GOEA) which manages the Louisiana State Plan on Aging. The EBRCOA is allocated funding through the Area Plan which is a grant application the agency submits to the GOEA for the period 2015-2019.
by laws GOVERNANCE: The EBRCOA is mandated by the Older Americans Act (OAA), to respond to the needs of Americans aged 60 and over in the local community with the goal of keeping seniors living independently in their own homes.
EBR Council on Aging 2016-17 Annual Report

agency goals & objectives PERFORMANCE EXPECTATIONS: The Governor’s Office of Elderly Affairs (GOEA) has provided the following performance indicators as a means of measuring COA performance.
• Increase the number of senior citizens who have access to an integrated array of health and social supports • Increase the number of senior citizens who stay active and healthy • Increase the number of families who are supported in their efforts to care for their loved ones at home and in the community • Increase the number of senior citizens who benefit from programs that protect their rights and prevent elder abuse, neglect and exploitation • Facilitate leadership in developing and improving transportation options for the elderly in the Public Service Area • Providing assistance with applying for benefits and programs • Educate consumers on services provided by Ombudsman and to display and distribute flyers provided by GOEA, and provide opportunities for Ombudsman to speak to staff and clients about the service to promote awareness Each of these performance indicators must be met to ensure not only effective delivery of services to seniors, but also to receive state and federal dollars to manage and operate Councils on Aging.

food & nutrition The Food and Nutrition program consists of both Congregate (hot meals) and Meals on Wheels (MOW) (home-delivered) nutrition services. Through better nutrition, we assist seniors to remain healthy and independent in their communities. Eligibility for our services require a senior to be 60 or older. Hot meals are served in the agency’s 15 locations five days a week. These sites serve as neighborhood focal points, offering opportunities for interaction with peers, assessment and referral to other services as needed and access to health promotion programs. Each homebound senior through the MOW program receives five meals that are delivered weekly. Each homebound senior receives in a MOW food box a nutritionally sound meal which includes: a quart of milk, fresh fruit, five slices of bread, healthy snacks and contains the daily recommended allowance of nutrients according to the USDA. Our menus are pre-planned quarterly by a registered dietitian/nutritionist and contain the proper amount of Vitamin A, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Vitamin C, Iron, Calcium, Fiber and Protein.
Facts: 50%

meals on wheels
Each meal consists of the quantified recommendation for the aging population: 3-4 ounces of protein, 2 or more ½ cups of fruit and vegetable servings, ½ pint of fortified milk, one ½ cup of dessert and a bread selection. We strive to be on the cusp of all new dietary innovations. The agency believes that positive healthy lifestyle changes are important no matter the age. Our goal is to feed the whole person, not just the body.

Programs & Activities: Senior Centers
Senior Centers provide services and activities within the center and link participants with resources offered by other agencies. Senior center programs consist of a variety of individuals, groups, services and activities. We offer support for the family caregiver, training for professional lay leaders and for the development of innovative approaches to addressing issues. There are many services that the EBRCOA offers to our seniors, these services are just some which we provide at each of our full activity centers. We offer a hub of activities, events, cultural outings and a place to congregate and fellowship over a hot meal while socializing with peers.
• Congregate Meals: We offer nutritional hot meals to seniors at various nutrition sites and senior center locations. There is a menu that is created by a dietician nutritionist that meets daily nutritional federal guidelines. • Nutrition Education: A program to promote better health by providing accurate and regionally sensitive nutrition, physical fitness or health (as it relates to nutrition). Information and instruction is given to participants and caregivers in a group or individual setting.
• Senior Excursions: On a regular basis, seniors are offered trips and cultural outings to various sites and cities allowing them opportunities to experience different recreational and educational programing they may not have experienced when they were younger. • Devotion: Devotion is held at each center to provide spiritual growth, guidance, comfort and knowledge to all who attend. Seniors share their ideas, beliefs and testimonies in an open environment free from discrimination based on religious beliefs. In addition, we offer a plethora

PREPARING FOR THE FUTURE
MILLAGE IMPLEMENTATION CHART 1:
Demand for Services
There are over 85,000 seniors living in East Baton Rouge Parish. Approximately 48,000 seniors or 50 percent of seniors in East Baton Rouge Parish are living at or below the poverty line. The number of older adults is expected to increase over the next decade and continue to rise the following decade. These changing demographics have caused greater demand for social services, particularly the need for adequate nutritional services, to increase dramatically. Locally at the East Baton Rouge Council on Aging, we have seen the number of seniors requesting meals increase steadily year after year while funding sources were steadily being cut.

EVENT CENTER HIGHLIGHT: Served as a staging point for the movie “Blaze� starring Ethan Hawke.
SERVING SENIORS OF THE COMMUNITY The Event Center also hosts numerous Council on Aging events that are open to the over 85,000+ seniors in EBR Parish.
The EBRCOA Capital City Event Center is 22,000 square foot multi-purpose facility centrally located on Florida Boulevard. During 2016-17 the Event Center hosted a wide-range of community and social events such as: city-wide community meetings, social events, weddings, family reunions and retirement parties. In addition to private functions, the Event Center also hosts numerous Council on Aging events that are open to the over 85,000+ seniors in EBR Parish. Some of these events include: Thanksgiving Dinner & Dance, Parish-wide Crawfish Boil and the Country Western Hoedown. During the Great Flood of 2016, the EBRCOA Capital City Event Center was used as a Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (DSNAP) site. In the aftermath of the flooding, this valuable asset to the community served more persons affected than any other DSNAP Site in the parish.

Information and Assistance Management In-Home Community Services The Information and Assistance Management Department (I&AM) is designed to provide seniors with current information on opportunities and services available within East Baton Rouge Parish. The goal is to assess the problems and capabilities of seniors and establish adequate follow-up procedures to ensure our Seniors receive the services they need. The I&AM Department consist of MIS Data Entry, Care Manager I, Care Manager II and Social Workers. The Care Managers conduct annual in-home assessments/reassessments for services such as: Meals on Wheels, Homemaker/Personal Care and In-Home Respite Care

The Care Managers and Social Workers assist clients with Entergy/Power to Care, distribution of Material Aid: Blankets, Heaters, Fans/Air Conditioners, Walkers, Incontinent Supplies and Nutritional Supplements. They also assist with Farmer’s Market, Cox Senior Discount Program, and Food Bank applications. The I&AM Department also assists seniors with vital programs such as: VA applications, Medicare applications, Food Stamps, Disaster Food Stamps, CATS on Demand, Behavioral and Mental Health Assistance, navigation through FEMA applications, rental assistance, senior hoarding and everyday necessities. The department participates and disseminates information at conferences, community events and seminars on aging issues. The I&AM Department conducts outreach activities to advocate our services and identify potential seniors that will benefit from EBRCOA programs and services. Many seniors and people who are caring for their loved ones are not aware of the community resources that are available to promote a healthy and independent lifestyle. The I&AM Department provides referrals to other non-profit agencies and community organizations to assist with services that may not be available through the East Baton Rouge Council on Aging.
