Justification: (state briefly why legislative action is requested)
To accept the Congregate Services Initiative (CSI) grant from the New York State Office for Aging. This grant funding allows the ACDFA to provide beneficial congregate services initiatives for our older adults attending congregate meal sites in Albany County. The services provided respond to their diverse needs and interests, enhance their dignity, support their independence, and encourage their involvement in and with the community and which seek to prevent the well elderly from requiring more intensive services such as those provided under expanded non-medical in-home services and non-institutional respite service.
Grant funding is used to support a range of services supported by the CSI grant which include but are not limited to; information and assistance, transportation, socialization, education, and health and wellness activities as well as caregiver support for families. These service initiatives promote wellness and ensure that older adults do not face unnecessary isolation and deterioration.
