Grant description and purpose: To provide additional homemaking, chores and transportation services to older adults who wish to remain living independently in their homes. Our team has developed a program with proven success in offering these services to 266 Clients throughout our rural counties of Douglas, Grant, Pope, Stevens, and Traverse. We have identified approximately 11,000 additional adults living in these rural areas who are 65 and older.
Striving to help older adults remain living in their rural communities, WCMCA has identified three objectives to increase the access to transportation and homemaking chore services. Objective number one will be to work with community partners to develop a robust volunteer program for the area to support adults 65+. Assisting volunteers to find opportunities they are most interested in, even if they are not within our agency.
Our five counties combined total 2,996.9 square miles. With most chore jobs taking 1-2 hours, staff are
spending up to an additional 2 hours on travel. Turning a 2-hour job into 4 hours. With our second objective
we are going to create a gig economy of chore contractors throughout the region. This innovative approach
will help provide chore services not only to more clients but in a timelier manner.
As an Elderly Waiver Provider, we can provide personal shopping. WCMCA Home Care and Repair and
Ready Ride transportation programs are dedicated to helping adults 65+ not only to remain living in their
homes independently, but also making sure they have the basic life essentials to do so. Adding a shopping service to our program will be our third objective. Core services provided to adults age 65 years plus include: chore, homemaker and transportation.
