ADRC reports increased allocation and continued senior services outreach
Summary
Price County's ADRC reported a $28,000 increase in the county allocation after a state change in disbursement timing and outlined quarter-two activity including 92 ADRC referrals and dementia supports; the county will implement the state Medicaid system 'Pier Place' in July.
Aging & Disability Manager Dawn Griesel told the board the ADRC Governing Board now receives funds up front from the state rather than withholding with expenses, a change that increased Price County's allocation by $28,000. Griesel said the county will begin using a state Medicaid system called 'Pier Place' in July for Medicaid-related processing.
Griesel presented quarter-two activity: 92 referrals handled by ADRC specialists, 13 long-term care functional screens completed, six Family Care MCO enrollments and two IRIS enrollments. She noted 43 reported dementia cases countywide, ongoing Memory Cafes, outreach at senior meal sites and a planned dementia-care event at the Park Falls Library.
