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 />

out with the question they called about,<br />

take the answerer through a brief series<br />

<strong>of</strong> questions. Depending on the caller’s<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.

so, especially when laboratory<br />

If the application is approved,<br />

the referral coordinator will<br />

share the information about the<br />

(Telecommunications<br />

TEPP is to help people with<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

There’s no age or income limit, but<br />

an individual can only get TEPP<br />

money once every three years for<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.
