About this measure |
This measure shows the number of clients served through the Options for Independent Living, Home Support Services, and Information Services programs. The Cuyahoga County Division of Senior and Adult Services provides these programs, allowing seniors to remain independent and in their own homes.
Data are reported by the Cuyahoga County Division of Senior and Adult Services on a quarterly basis. Quarterly and year-to-date (YTD) data represent unduplicated counts of program participants.
Why is this important? |
The Division of Senior and Adult Services empowers seniors and adults with disabilities to age successfully by providing resources and support that preserve their independence. These services help seniors remain in their own homes, preventing them from entering nursing homes or assisted living facilities.
How are we making an impact? | |
The Home Support and Options programs provide home-based services such as homemaking, personal care, and home-delivered meals, enabling these clients to remain living independently. Currently, more than 10% of the active cases in Options and Home Support have been on the active caseload for more than 10 years.
The Information Services unit provides assistance with benefit completion such as for the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The value of these benefits is expected to be more than $700,000 by the end of 2019.
