Our Annual Report   Upper Shore Aging, Incorporated 2005 Annual Report January 31, 2006   Upper Shore Aging, Incorporated 100 Schauber Road Chestertown, Maryland 21620 410-778-6000 www.uppershoreaging.org          2005 was a year of challenge and change for Upper Shore Aging, Incorporated.      Traditional sources of governmental funding for the organization's programs were imperiled. Federal Older Americans Act funding continued to decline. The Maryland General Assembly undertook legislation to revise the funding formula used by the Maryland Department of Aging to apportion federal funds for aging programs among the state;s Area Agencies on Aging. Partnering with other rural Maryland Area Agencies on Aging, USA, Inc. strongly advocated for a formula that fairly considered the unique circumstances of rural agencies. While these efforts did not succeed, the Maryland legislature did provide hold harmless state funds to mitigate the negative impact that a new funding formula would have upon the Agency's clients. USA, Inc. saw a considerable loss of state funding in the Senior Center Operating Grant program, which curtailed operations of the Federalsburg Senior Center. Local governments in 2005 maintained their levels of support for their Area Agency on Aging, USA, Inc., but were unable to supplant federal and state funding cuts.      These funding developments came at a time when the population of older persons in Talbot, Caroline and Kent counties continued to increase steadily. In 2004, 16.1% of Maryland's population was over the age of sixty years, while older persons in the USA, Inc. service area comprised 24% of all residents. The number of older persons in the region continues to grow, and many of those persons are poor and have serious health issues. Without access to cost-effective community based services offered by USA, Inc., many of them will needlessly or prematurely move into costly long-term care institutions, paid for by Medicaid.      The year saw USA, Inc. cease its involvement in publicly funded transportation service. Unplanned transit program expenses, largely the result of high fuel costs, along with a serious cash flow situation arising from the failure of the Maryland Transit Administration to provide timely reimbursement of project expenses or disburse grant awards, temporarily threatened to interrupt the Agency's operations. The situation was resolved with help from elected state representatives.      USA, Inc. aggressively worked to develop private support for its programs via effective fundraising and grant writing projects. As a result, significant additional resources were generated to expand client services in core programs, such as Meals-on-Wheels. With a major multi-year grant from the Maryland Department of Aging, the Agency inaugurated a new program, Project ROSE, offering Respite, Outreach, Support and Education services to caregivers of Alzheimers patients.          USA, Inc. worked closely with Talbot County government to plan for a new Talbot County Senior Center facility in Easton, developing a Senior Citizens Activities Center Grant application on behalf of the County for that project.      Upper Shore Aging, Inc. approaches its thirty-first year of operation with optimism. In 2006, the Agency will undertake a strategic planning effort to identify sound strategies for developing additional programmatic and administrative revenue supports. The goal is to cultivate long-term, non-governmental resources that can address the unmet needs of a growing population of elders, while ensuring that USA, Inc. has sufficient revenues for organizational administration.   --Etta W. Redden President, USA, Inc. --Carl E. BurkeExecutive Director, USA, Inc. Mission Statement of Upper Shore Aging, Incorporated:   Upper Shore Aging, Inc. will develop and provide a variety of programs for Older Persons in the Upper Shore region, which help maintain and improve quality of life.   Members of the Board of Directors: Mrs. Etta Redden, President, Caroline County Mrs. Sarah Meredith, Vice President, Kent County Mrs. Bertha Wilson, Secretary, Talbot County Mrs. Pat Stein, Treasurer, Talbot County Mrs. Lauretta Freeman, Kent County Mrs. Gladys Dean, Caroline County Mrs. Anne Clucas, Talbot County Mr. Ed Pelosky, Caroline County Mr. Tom Bass, Kent County Mrs. Carol Stockley, Caroline County Mrs. Shirley Baldwin, Kent County (Vacancy), Talbot County Ms. Hilary Spence, Talbot County Mr. William Pickrum, Kent County Mr. John Cole, Caroline County   Upper Shore Aging, Inc. Key Administrative Staff: Carl Burke, Executive Director Gary Gunther, Deputy Director John Sullivan, Director, Senior Center and Nutrition Programs Charlotte Coleman, Director, Fiscal Services Kathleen Garson, Medicaid Waiver Program Manager Ed Sadler, Long-Term Care Ombudsman Introduction:      Upper Shore Aging, Inc. is a nonprofit 501(C)(3) corporation that is the designated Area Agency on Aging (AAA) for Caroline, Talbot and Kent counties, Maryland. As such, it develops and manages a comprehensive menu of aging programs that address the needs of the nearly 21,000 elderly residents living in the tri-county service area. These programs work in coordinated fashion to maintain or improve quality of life for our elderly clients, helping them to continue living in their homes or in the community with a sense of dignity and independence, forestalling their placement in hospitals and nursing homes.      Upper Shore Aging, Inc. offered a number of programs and services in 2005 in several areas: Four Senior Centers offered Congregate and Home-Delivered Meals ("Meals-on-Wheels"), from which many leisure, educational and health-promoting Activities were offered. Trained staff based at Senior Centers offered Senior Information & Assistance and Senior Health Insurance Counseling, assisting elders in applying for Medicare including facilitating their enrollment in the new Medicare Part D prescription drug benefit), Social Security and helping them access the programs of other agencies. Community Based Programs included the Medicaid Waiver for Older Adults, Senior Care, Home Weatherization, Shopping for Seniors and Family Caregiver Support programs, which provide case management, gap filling, in-home supports or home modification services, as well as support for caregivers ñ all of which help Seniors to remain in the community as long as possible. Senior Advocacy Programs included the Long-Term Care Ombudsman, Public Guardianship and Senior Legal Assistance programs.  Working with our affiliate organization, the Upper Shore Aging Housing Corporation, we facilitated access to quality Senior Housing for eligible clients. We provided education and outreach to Seniors in the Upper Shore Region, publishing a monthly newsletter, the Upper Shore Clarion. At a Glance: Upper Shore Aging, Inc., 2005   The Agency offered 14 valuable programs or services to a potential client market of 20,756 older persons residing in Talbot, Caroline and Kent counties, Maryland Served 148,727 units of service in 14 core programs… Total support and revenue: $3,385,596; number of employees: 37 87% of all organizational revenues supported direct client services Updated a Comprehensive Area Plan, which was approved by the Maryland Department of Aging Partnered with the Alzheimer's Association of the Eastern Shore to offer two Caregivers Conferences, serving 250 individuals Advocated, along with other rural AAAs, hold harmless supplemental state funding to address the negative impact of a revised funding allocation formula, preserving $27,000 in critically important funds for elderly programs in Talbot, Caroline and Kent counties Managed a resource development program that cultivated $121,000 in additional resources from private donors and funders, using these supports to serve existing clients or to alleviate waiting lists in programs Worked closely with Talbot County government to develop and submit a Senior Citizens Activities Center Grant application regarding a project to expand the Talbot County Senior Center The Agency was awarded a major, competitive three-year grant to develop and manage a new Respite, Outreach, Support and Education program for caregivers of Alzheimers Disease, working in partnership with the Alzheimers Association USA, Inc. ceased provision of a program of publicly funded transportation, though the Agency's staff continued to strongly advocate for an effective system of public transit for older residents of the mid-Shore Agency Information & Assistance Program staff, along with key managers, trained in the new Medicare Part D prescription drug benefit, educated Seniors about it and began enrolling participants in prescription drug plans after November 1, 2005 Agency management worked to effectively advocate for the interests of Upper Shore elders through its involvement in professional organizations, with local Commissions on Aging and other stakeholder groups Performance Overview:      In fiscal year 2005, Upper Shore Aging, Inc. received funding and support from federal, state and local governments, as well as from other sources (see Table 1). For most programs, federal and state allocations were specifically designated for each member county by funding entities. In other cases, the Agency received a comprehensive allocation for the tri-county service area, in which case it apportioned the funds for the benefit of each county on the basis of census data.      Of every revenue dollar received by Upper Shore Aging, Inc. in FY 2005, $.87 directly funded client services. The Agency supported its administrative expenses (which were 13% of all revenues) with a 7% charge against eligible federal and state grants, along with unrestricted funds generated by fundraising efforts and from other sources.      An updated Area Plan, endorsed by each local government and approved by the Maryland Department of Aging, was developed that included a customized service plan for each member county. The mix of planned programs and targets for units of service for each were different for each county, a function of available funding and the unique needs of elderly residents in each jurisdiction. Input from the USA, Inc. Board of Directors; local Advisory Committees; Commissions on Aging; various Seniors' advocacy groups, other human service agencies and USA, Inc. clients helped to determine the relative emphasis of each program in each member county.      Table 2 shows the relative distribution of services delivered among the three member counties for major programs. USA, Inc. provided a total of 148,727 units of service in 14 key programs throughout the tri-county service area in fiscal year 2005. As the table shows, Caroline County received 35% of all units of service provided by the Agency during the year, with Kent and Talbot counties receiving 34% and 31%, respectively. Differences in the distribution of Agency services are largely explained by several factors, including: the availability of governmental funding for each county; demographic characteristics, as each county is inherently different and the demand for the Agencyís programs varies for each; and mode of service delivery, which can differ for each county (for example, Senior Information & Assistance Program contacts may be largely rendered via telephone in one county, while group presentations may be more appropriate in another). It is also important to note that the physical limitations of Senior Centers in the various counties may affect the kinds and numbers of activities offered in each. Community Partnerships        Upper Shore Aging, Inc. partnered and cooperated with many public and private local agencies in 2005 in the service of older residents of Talbot, Kent and Caroline counties, including: Upper Shore Aging Housing Corporation, the Talbot County Health Department, TRIAD of Caroline County, TRIAD of Talbot County, TRIAD of Kent County, Shore Health System, Chesapeake College, Kent County Commission on Aging, Circuit Court for Caroline County, Circuit Court for Talbot County, Circuit Court for Kent County, Delmarva Community Services, the Caroline County Health Department, the Kent County Health Department, the Alzheimers Association of the Eastern Shore, the Kent County Department of Social Services, the Caroline County Department of Social Services, the Talbot County Commission on Aging, the Legal Aid Bureau of Maryland, the Talbot County Department of Social Services, WC-ALL, AARP the Cecil County Department of Aging and the Queen Anne's County Department of Aging.
