WINNEBAGO COUNTY SENIOR RESOURCE GUIDE 2009 { CAREGIVER INFORMATION } 17 CAREGIVER Information In Winnebago County, there is a program called the Community Options Program. This program is administered through the Winnebago County Department of Human Services. All people that might be at risk of not being able to live independently in their own home, are eligible to receive a Long Term Care Assessment/Consultation. To receive an Assessment/Consultation, call Winnebago County Human Services Department Crisis Intervention/Adult Access Team at 920-236-4615 Oshkosh or 920-727-2882 Fox Cities Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. -4:30 p.m. After normal business hours, there is a Crisis Hotline where assistance and information can be received; that number is 920-233-7707 (Oshkosh) and 920-722-7707 (Fox Cities). The Long Term Care Assessment/Consultation will be conducted by professionals that will work with loved ones in determining what needs the person being assessed has and will offer recommendations that can be followed to meet the person’s needs. The following listed services may be those where assistance is needed. Personal Cares: bathing, dressing, exercise, grooming, shaving, oral hygiene Household Chores: cleaning, meal preparation, shopping, laundry, money management, and socialization Relief Help — Respite: adult day care (half, whole day, week), in home staff (temporary or constant provider, or week at CBRF) Information — Connections: adult foster care, counseling, funding, Life Line, nursing home consultation, physical therapy, transportation, case management, education, housing, Meals on Wheels, protective services, support groups, and mobility aids The Winnebago County Department of Human Services also has a multitude of written materials and videos available for loan on caregiver issues. If a person has financial resources to pay for needed services, the developed assessment plan will guide the family to arrange needed services. If the person does not have financial resources to pay for needed services, there may be finances available to assist these needs; however, there may be a waiting list to receive financial assistance. It is important to receive the Long Term Care Assessment/Consultation and get on a waiting list to eventually receive financial assistance to meet needs. The Long Term Care Assessment/Consultation can also be done at a time of crisis, by hospital discharge planners, or by home health care agencies. Care coordination/ care management Once needs have been determined, whether as a result of the Long Term Care Assessment or as families become aware of needs, there is a need to become more knowledgeable of specific services. There is a wide array of agencies that can be contacted. Many families will opt to coordinate and provide needed care themselves; others will utilize services available in the community and others will combine utilizing available services and provide some care themselves. This is a personal decision for the family. Many people needing assessments and/or services do not have family or family living nearby or family who are willing and/or able to provide assistance. The individual/family may also choose to not make contact with Winnebago County Department of Human Services. The following agencies, for a fee, will provide coordination and other services privately in Winnebago County. This type of service is available throughout the country and may bring piece of mind to long distance caregivers or to people who have no one to advocate/assist in setting up needed services.
