RESIDENTIAL REPAIR PROGRAM
Program Narrative 4/1/17 - 3/31/18
The Residential Repair program is a service designed to help keep elderly residents safely in
their homes by assisting with minor repairs and eliminating existing safety hazards. The population of
aged 60+residents in Southold Town is approximately 32.23%according to 2010 census data. The
program provided 730 units of service to 125 seniors for the 2016/17 program year to date
Targeting and expanded outreach efforts will continue to be a major priority for the upcoming
year.In following guidelines set forth under the Older Americans Act, Southold Town Senior Services
continues our commitment to our goal of providing residential repair services to underserved and/or
minority elderly residents. According to the 2010 U.S. Census, 3.47%of the elderly residents in
Southold Town are minority. Southold Town Senior Services will ensure access for services to the four
target groups which have the greatest economic and social needs. These groups include minorities, low
income, frail and vulnerable persons aged 60 and older.Targeting groups for improved service will also
include those with Limited English Proficiency(LEP), lesbian,gay,bisexual, and transgender(LGBT)
older adults. To date 4%of minority clients were served which exceeded our minority targeting goal of
3.47%.
Ensuring equal access to languages services for all is a high priority and is achieved through a
contract that has been established with Propio Language Services. Staff is aware of and trained in the
timely and appropriate use of these languages services.As a contractor with SCOFA,we will fully
comply with requirements of both the Equal Access to Services and Targeting Policy(12-PI 08)and the
Telephonic Interpretation Policy(12-IM-03)to meet our goal of increasing access to the most vulnerable
elderly,particularly those with limited English proficiency. Staff will ensure that those with limited
English proficiency(LEP)are informed of the availability of FREE language interpretation
assistance by providing written notice in languages the LEP person will understand at service
locations In addition,signs are posted at the entrance of our senior center that highlight this free
service available to all seniors. We will also provide information on the Town's website and issue a
press release informing Southold residents,community service organizations and local churches about
the available language assistance.Access will also be provided via the Southold Town Justice Court's
comprehensive list of court interpreters available pursuant to section 387 of the Judiciary Law.
We have increased visibility and expanded access to our services.In addition to our existing print
outreach activities of brochures,newspapers, senior center menus and activity calendars and we are
featured in Eastern Long Island Hospital's Seniors Options and Solutions Program newsletter that enjoys
town wide distribution.The website for the Town of Southold www.southoldtom gov is a great
resource and all activities,program announcements and updates are posted weekly. Important links for
programs and services and related forms can be easily accessed.
Our Residential Repair Coordinator and Maintenance Mechanic 1, continue to work
collaboratively with SAMS Assessors to address unmet needs for home delivered and congregate dining
participants. We regularly install smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and grab bars for seniors.
Community Action for Southold Town's Director,Linda Ruland,continues to communicate with our
staff on referrals involving individuals 60 years of age and older. Since CAST serves,a large minority
component,this is an effective association. CAST also rotates through our community services room at
the center to-improve service access to vulnerable seniors.The Nassau Suffolk Hospital Council Aged,
Blind and Disabled Health Insurance Benefits Assistance Program began a monthly rotation in our
community services office this year and are providing information on our services to their program
participants over 60 years of age as well.Lastly, local pharmacies have been providing information on
our service to seniors and have been referring customers to Residential Repair for installation of grab
bars and other home safety equipment.
Lynne Richards, Southold Town Disabilities and ADA Coordinator now has an office on site at the
Senior Center one day per week to provide advocacy to town residents with disabilities and their
families. Seniors with disabilities can access various services including ADA compliance
questions/complaints and can receive assistance in identifying and applying for services.The Town also
assists income eligible seniors with necessary modifications through the home repair program funded
with community development block grant funds. The Town launched our new portable ramp loan
program in April 2016 which provided portable suitcase ramps to assist seniors and their caregivers
and/or families in accessing their homes after temporary illness or injury.The ramps purpose is to assist
caregivers of seniors for short term use only and are not intended for independent use or long term
disability. The 15 ramps and storage shed were purchased through Community Development Block Grant
funding.Hospital discharge planners and local home health providers have been notified about the new
program. Our Residential Repair Program Maintenance Mechanic is responsible for installation of
portable ramps.To date we have installed and removed 2 ramps.
In 2010 Southold Senior Services partnered with the North Fork Woman for Woman Fund in
their NYSOFA's Community Empowerment Aging in Place Grant Program to expand and enhance
awareness of available services to the lesbian community on the North Fork.In 2011,we began working
with the SAGE organization to expand their activities and services to the LGBT community on the north
fork. While they no longer provide direct services on site,we do provide_their print information to
seniors.
Additional outreach efforts include:
• Program highlighted in the Town-wide newsletter.
• Residential Repair program information is featured in the Town's Recreation brochure which is
mailed to all residents on a quarterly basis.
• Brochures placed around town,in pharmacies,medical offices,&libraries.
• Featured in the,Suffolk Times Newspaper in articles, columns and editorials.
• Referrals from SAMS assessors for the homebound meals-on-wheels participants.Home safety is
reviewed with each client on our home visits and incorporated into all care plans.
• Informational presentations to monthly on-site caregivers' group/Alzheimer's Support Group by
our Adult Day Care Supervisor who provides updated information on all senior service programs.
• Featured regularly on our monthly menu.
• Word of mouth from satisfied seniors.
• Church Bulletins.
• Featured on Southold Town Government Cablevision Channel 22.
• Announcements at the local senior meetings and monthly VIP(Visually Impaired Persons)
group.
Our projected unduplicated count of clients for the upcoming year will be 135 with an anticipated
800 units of service with projected contributions of$3,000.00:For the 2016/17 program year, our
participant contributions totaled$2,185.The procedure for implementing this program will be carried out
through Senior Services. Referrals are received from SAMS' assessors, adult day care staff, seniors,
family members, caregivers,physicians,other outside agencies and individuals. Referrals will be taken at
the Senior Center and appointments made for our Maintenance Mechanic 1 to inspect any work and
prepare a materials list along with a description of work to be performed. Our Maintenance Mechanic 1
will present the prepared list to the potential client along with the amount of money required for
materials. If approved by the client,an appointment will be made by the Senior Center for the
Maintenance Mechanic to complete the work. A materials purchase record will be provided to the client
and signed by both the client and worker. The Maintenance Mechanic 1 will then perform the repair
duties,oversee the work done and inspect upon completion. Upon completion, a letter will be sent along
with a client comment form. The letter will indicate that all donations to the program are voluntary and
confidential and that no one will be denied service because of inability or unwillingness to pay and all
contributions are used to enhance the program.
Cheryl Kaswell,Residential Repair Coordinator,will schedule appointments,facilitate client contact,
time sheet records,materials records and monthly reports to the Suffolk County Office for the Aging.
The Town Director of Human Services will oversee implementation and direction of the program and be
responsible for client service, accuracy and timeliness of reporting and expenditures. The vouchering
process takes ce in the accounting department by the Deputy Town Comptroller,Connie Solomon.
