This Telephone Flow Chart is designed to<br />
assist individuals who may answer the<br />
telephone when a caller makes an initial<br />
inquiry to seek information or services.<br />
The “answerer” begins by helping the caller<br />

take the answerer through a brief series<br />

response, resources can be suggested<br />
which are located in this Directory.<br />
First help the caller with the<br />
question they called about,<br />
then ask them:<br />
Do you mind if I ask you a few questions,<br />
just to see if there is anything else that I<br />
can help you with?<br />
Caller: “No I don’t mind.”<br />
“Some questions might seem a bit<br />
personal, and you certainly don’t have to<br />

move on.”<br />

If a person has financial resources to pay for needed services,<br />
the developed assessment plan will guide the family<br />
to arrange needed services.<br />
If the person does not have financial resources to pay for<br />
needed services, there may be finances available to assist<br />
these needs; however, there may be a waiting list to receive<br />
financial assistance. It is important to receive the Long Term<br />
Care Assessment/Consultation and get on a waiting list to<br />
eventually receive financial assistance to meet needs.<br />
The Long Term Care Assessment/Consultation can also be<br />
done at a time <strong>of</strong> crisis, by hospital discharge planners, or by<br />
home health care agencies.<br />
Care coordination/<br />
care management<br />
Once needs have been determined,<br />
whether as a result <strong>of</strong> the Long Term<br />
Care Assessment or as families become<br />
aware <strong>of</strong> needs, there is a need<br />
to become more knowledgeable <strong>of</strong><br />
specific services. There is a wide array<br />
<strong>of</strong> agencies that can be contacted.<br />
Many families will opt to coordinate<br />
and provide needed care themselves;<br />
others will utilize services available in<br />
the community and others will combine<br />
utilizing available services and<br />
provide some care themselves. This is<br />
a personal decision for the family.<br />
Many people needing assessments<br />
and/or services do not have family<br />
or family living nearby or family who<br />
are willing and/or able to provide<br />
assistance. The individual/family may<br />
also choose to not make contact with<br />
Winnebago County Department <strong>of</strong><br />
Human Services. The following agencies,<br />
for a fee, will provide coordination<br />
and other services privately in<br />
Winnebago County. This type <strong>of</strong> service<br />
is available throughout the country<br />
and may bring piece <strong>of</strong> mind to<br />
long distance caregivers or to people<br />
who have no one to advocate/assist in<br />
setting up needed services.

to people <strong>of</strong> all ages who, because<br />
<strong>of</strong> a serious disability, advanced<br />
age, or medical problems, do<br />
not have enough income to pay<br />
for needed dental care. There is<br />
generally no cost to qualifying<br />

care may be encouraged to do<br />
so, especially when laboratory<br />
work is involved. Call the Program<br />
Coordinator for an application.<br />
If the application is approved,<br />
the referral coordinator will<br />
share the information about the<br />

TEPP<br />
(Telecommunications<br />
Equipment Purchase<br />
Program)<br />
TEPP is to help people with<br />
disabilities buy equipment<br />
they need in order to use basic<br />
telephone services. The TEPP is<br />
one <strong>of</strong> several different programs<br />
paid for by the Wisconsin<br />
Universal Service Fund established<br />
by the Public Service Commission.<br />
Money collected from Wisconsin<br />
telephone service providers goes<br />
into the USF.<br />
TEPP rules so require that an<br />
applicant:<br />
• Be a Wisconsin resident<br />
• Be a person who is deaf, hard<br />
<strong>of</strong> hearing, speech impaired, or<br />
mobility or motion impaired.<br />
• Need special equipment to use<br />
the telephone in the home or<br />
when traveling (like a TTY, volume
32 { HEARING LOSS — HOME HEALTH, MAKING & CHORE PROGRAMS } WINNEBAGO COUNTY SENIOR <strong>RESOURCE</strong> GUIDE 2009<br />
control, visual alert system, etc.)<br />
There’s no age or income limit, but<br />
an individual can only get TEPP<br />
money once every three years for<br />
the same type <strong>of</strong> disability.<br />

Telecommunication<br />
Relay System<br />
The Wisconsin Relay system<br />
provides the vital link for effective<br />
telephone communication<br />
between people who use a TTY<br />
and those who use a standard<br />
telephone. A TTY (also called a<br />
TDD, TT, or text telephone) is a<br />
device that allows people who can<br />
not hear and/or speak to type and<br />
read their telephone conversation.<br />
Calls are relayed by highly trained<br />
operators called Communication<br />
Assistants (CA’s) who acts as<br />
the “invisible link” between two<br />
callers. During a relay call, a CA<br />
will voice everything typed by<br />
the TTY user and type everything<br />
said by the telephone user. In<br />
this way, the relay allows people<br />
who are Deaf, Hard <strong>of</strong> Hearing,<br />
or Speech Disabled to have an<br />
interactive telephone conversation<br />
with anyone, anytime, even if the<br />
person they are calling does not<br />
have TTY compatible equipment!<br />

36 { HOUSING INFORMATION } WINNEBAGO COUNTY SENIOR <strong>RESOURCE</strong> GUIDE 2009<br />
Housing Information<br />
One <strong>of</strong> the most difficult decisions a<br />
person may have to make is to move<br />
from his or her home to a new living<br />
environment. Some fully embrace<br />
moving to a new situation where they no longer<br />
have to worry about making and paying for<br />
home repairs, mowing the lawn, shoveling snow<br />
and going up and down stairs. For others, the<br />
thought <strong>of</strong> change is difficult and frightening<br />
and gets put <strong>of</strong>f.<br />
Changes may eventually need to be made<br />
with the involvement <strong>of</strong> family or a community<br />
agency.<br />
This information is made available so that<br />
people contemplating change can learn more<br />
about what alternatives are available. There<br />
may be more alternatives available; those listed<br />
provided information for this directory. Some<br />
<strong>of</strong> the facilities listed in this directory have<br />
waiting lists. It is very important that you make<br />
arrangements to get on a facility’s waiting list if<br />
you desire to live there.<br />
Remember, when looking for housing, find<br />
information on the facilities you are interested<br />
in. Make a list <strong>of</strong> questions that pertain to your<br />
needs. Visit the facility, and ask your questions<br />
so that you have all <strong>of</strong> the information you need<br />
to know if this is a good choice for you.<br />
The first part <strong>of</strong> the Directory gives definitions<br />
<strong>of</strong> the different types <strong>of</strong> housing.<br />
What is a Residential<br />
Care Apartment<br />
Complex?<br />
Residential Care Apartment Complexes<br />
(RCACs) are a form <strong>of</strong> housing<br />
available to seniors in Wisconsin<br />
designed to provide another choice<br />
for long-term care. All facilities are<br />
required to provide apartments with<br />
a kitchen, living area, bedroom and<br />
bathroom. In addition, RCACs must<br />
be equipped to provide up to 28<br />
hours per week <strong>of</strong> services designed<br />
to meet individual tenants’ needs.<br />
These types <strong>of</strong> services may<br />
include (but are not limited to) help<br />
with bathing, dressing and grooming,<br />
nursing services such as medication<br />
set-up and monitoring, and help<br />
with laundry and housekeeping.<br />
This provision allows consumers<br />
to purchase the service they want,<br />
with the flexibility to increase services<br />
as their care needs increase in<br />
the future.<br />
How do RCACs differ<br />
from Nursing Homes and<br />
Assisted Living?<br />
States are responsible for regulating<br />
long-term care facilities. While<br />
the commonly accepted or generic<br />
term for facilities other than nursing<br />
homes is “assisted living,” different<br />
states have chosen a variety <strong>of</strong><br />
names. In Wisconsin there are really<br />
three different kinds <strong>of</strong> assisted living<br />
facilities.<br />
These are (1) RCACs; (2) Community<br />
Based Residential Facilities<br />
(CBRFs); and (3) Adult Family<br />
Homes. Different regulations apply<br />
to each.<br />
A CBRF is generally a facility<br />
where individuals have either a<br />
separate or shared bedroom, but<br />
definitely share common living<br />
spaces such as the living room,<br />
dining room and kitchen. They may<br />
share bathrooms as well.<br />
CBRFs are very well-regulated and<br />
monitored by the State <strong>of</strong> Wisconsin.<br />
For example, CBRFs are required<br />
to do background checks on their<br />
employees before hiring them.<br />
Their staff must undergo certain<br />
types <strong>of</strong> training for specific numbers<br />
<strong>of</strong> hours on topics such as first<br />
aid, fire safety, medication administration,<br />
caring for the elderly and<br />
other areas.<br />
The state inspects all CBRFs when<br />
they first apply for a license and then<br />
at least once every subsequent year.<br />
The state also sends out someone to<br />
investigate if anyone files a complaint<br />
about care or services in the<br />
CBRF.
