PROGRAM:

Susan Barnes of Rochester Regional Health Systems presented details of ElderONE, a comprehensive program for Seniors 55-over; coming to Wayne County (Newark) in October.

   Sue managed a Long Term Care program funded by Medicare and Medicaid.  ElderONE is an affiliate of Rochester Regional Health.  This is new in Wayne and ontario County.  608 over-55 citizens are being helped in Monroe County currently.  ElderONE will serve seniors over age 55 for all-inclusive care in their homes.   Elder One is:
     Community Based: “Participants live safely in their own homes with supportive services of the program.”
     Coordinated: Team of health care professionals work with participants on individual needs and goals.
     Comprehensive: Covers all required services of Medicare and Medicaid programs.
  The goal is for these folks to remain independent in their homes and the Elder One care will consist of home care, personal care, meal prep, medical care, medications including over the counter, physical and occupational therapy, speech and transportation to the center.  The Center will be located in the CH Stuart building on Silver Hill Dr. in Newark.  ElderONE will bring 18 new jobs to the area with the center being open 5 days a week, from 8:30 to 5.  The target date for opening is Oct 2016   More details of this program can be found on their website ElderONE.org
