We welcome you to the latest episodeof the podcast with the Ohio District five

Dewanta Patten, Good morning, goodmorning, great to see you,
great to be here, all right, and you have brought someone else to

you for having us. Yes,thank you your first time here at the
studio CRAC all right, terrific,welcome. We're glad to have you both
and Diana. This has been greatin terms of the podcast series that you
guys have here. We've we kindof had an overview with of all the
(00:44):
great things you do all all thecounties in the region with SU Montgomery and
then you had a couple of guestsand recently that we're talking about you know,
different programs you have about you know, you know, being healthy as
you as you kind of age.In this morning, you told me we're
gonna focus in on housing. Correct, that is exactly what we're going to
focus on today, all right.So as we talk about housing, we
(01:07):
talk about older adults, maybe evenhomelessness, let's begin. I know you
have some stats on that, correctI do, Thanks Aaron, and I'm
so grateful that Sue was able tokind of tee things up with, you
know, all the different services andsupports that the area agency provides. But
when we think about older adults,the US population of older adults, those
(01:29):
age sixty five and above, ithas surged by thirty four percent, by
forty three million back in twenty twelveto fifty eight million in twenty twenty two,
and that number just continues to escalate. This represents both urban and suburban
and certainly rural communities across the country. When we think about the baby boomers
(01:53):
and the people that you know arein that age range, the first baby
Boomers will soon turn eighty, andyou know that further accelerates the growth in
the oldest age population, and affordablehousing continues to be a critical issue for
all older adults and something that wemust think about. We do know that
(02:15):
housing related expenses cost adults age fiftyfive and older an average of thirty three
percent of their yearly budget. Sowe need to think about that. We
need to think about what are peoplepaying, where are they living, and
how are they aging in place?A big topic and when you know,
kind of just a level set alittle bit when we think about the individual
(02:35):
who's aging in place, so istheir home that's great, We have both
of those dynamics. Yeah, youhave a lot of updates and different things
that'll need to take place. Soyou're hearing the voice there of Duana Patten,
who is the CEO of the OhioDistrict five Area Agency on Aging.
And the thing is, before weget to our other guest, Diane Raimi,
(02:55):
you represent so many areas across theregion within think about you know,
you guys are here in Mansfield today, Richland County, but you think about
all the counties that the Area Agencyon Aging locally that you guys support,
correct, So thank you Erin forthat. As an Area Agency on Aging,
we serve nine counties in and aroundthis area. And in addition,
(03:16):
when we think about homelessness, andDiane's going to talk a little bit about
our home mod program, we arein forty six of Ohio's counties helping individuals
and other community based organizations provide servicesuch as modifications to bathrooms and ramps and
all those different things that we provide. We as an area agency are very
(03:38):
passionate about it and the business linethat we have is valuable, and other
folks are allowing us into their respectivecommunities to help combat some of the challenges
that seniors face when they're trying toage in place. Yeah. Wow,
in over half the counties, asyou mentioned here across the state of Ohio.
Very important information today from the OhioDistrict five Area AGY on aging as
(04:00):
we are talking about housing homelessness witholder adults. So we heard there from
Dowana Patten CEO. Now we're chattingwith Diane Raimie, who's to my right,
chief clinical officer. So, uh, do wanna brought up programs that
you offer? Could we? I'msure there's many things you guys do,
but could you give us a littlebit about the programs you offer? Sure?
(04:23):
Absolutely. I think Sue probably mentioneda lot of the programs that we
have that are in home care tosupport older adults, but more specifically around
housing is we have a pretty robusthome modification program, a variety of funding
streams that help us be able toprovide that home modification. Many older adults
have lived in their home for fiftyor sixty years, probably the last fifteen
(04:46):
or twenty, they've really not beenphysically able to do any maintenance and upkeep
on the home. So the roofis leaking, the plumbing is aging,
the electric is in bad shape,and not necessarily always say and then at
the least it is not accessible forthem if they're in a wheelchair or if
they have a walker. Many olderhomes, the doorways aren't wide enough or
(05:08):
even a walker or wheelchair to getthrough. So the one program that we
do have, again variety of fundingstreams, is home modification, where we
can widen doorways, we can doroll in showers and ramps and those things
that help make the home accessible.So they don't end up homeless if they
can't stay in their home and theydon't have another alternative, and they don't
(05:29):
have other options, and financially,because of the cost of apartments and housing
in general, I mean, they'rehomes paid for so to now pay rent
on maybe fifteen hundred dollars in SocialSecurity, they're not able to maintain and
upkeep the home, and so otherwisethey might end up homeless. And that's
definitely a concern. We're seeing arise in that and we're seeing requests along
(05:53):
that lines at our office as well, is that they need some kind of
stable housing and so we're going tohelp them find that or if if they
do live in their home, wewant to be able to provide that home
modification based on the different funding streamsthat we have to facilitate that and that's
going to help them stay at home. So how does this work in terms
of if somebody hears your voices andthey're like, hey, you know,
(06:15):
I want to look into this program, how do they reach out? Do
they call website? Do they stopin? All the above? How does
it work? Well, you namedthem all? Actually all of the above.
They're always welcome to come in.You know, we're there to help
and touch base with them. Theycan call our phone number and we're happy
to have them do a phone callwith us. We do have a request
assistance button on our website and theycan fill out information electronically and then that
(06:41):
provides us their details. We reachout to them and we'll do an initial
kind of assessment. If you willdiscern what kind of program or services might
be you eligible for, then we'regoing to set you up with an assessment,
and we're going to come out tothe home. So it's in the
home, because one, we wantto see what the home environment looks like
and so we want to be ableto evaluate that. And then we're going
to look at a very broad spectrumof what their needs are, identify what
(07:05):
those are, and then that'll helpguide us to what program is going to
meet their needs the best, whetherthat's a home modification or an in home
kind of care type of program.Learning about some great programs home modification with
the Ohio District five Area Agency onAging a part of their podcast today,
we're talking about housing homelessness with olderadults. You just heard there from Diane
(07:27):
Raimi, who's the chief Clinical Officer. Also with us in studio is the
CEO do wanna Patent and do wantI know from chatting with you and many
of the great people with your organizationover the years, one statement eight I
keep hearing is people want to stayin their homes and you guys are doing
everything you possibly can to make thathappen. That is correct, and what
(07:47):
folks have heard you know in thepast, we can provide those in home
services. What Diane just alluded towas making sure that home is safe and
accessible and affordable for individuals. Soit is some that we think about.
Diane had mentioned, you know,people can access us through different channels,
you know, coming to our officeat twenty one thirty one Park Avenue West,
it's the Hawkins Corner facility. There, we welcome people to come in
(08:13):
and talk about what their needs mightbe. We can be reached by phone
at four one nine five two fourfour one four four ask for one of
our navigators, who are typically theones that answer the phone, and on
our website where there's a request assistancebutton that is very helpful and easy to
access at www dot AAA five Ohiodot org. So many ways that people
(08:35):
can reach out to us. Andin addition, our outreach and marketing team
is out in the community doing youknow, multiple events. That's always a
great place to reach us to.And when we think about homelessness and we
think about you know, home aplace to call home and the costs associated
with that. One of the thingsthat we're also able to do with individuals.
Diane had talked about, you know, funding sources and programs, and
(08:58):
certainly we're reliant on grant funds,both state, federal, and local,
and sometimes they don't stretch as faras we need them to. But one
of the things that we can dothrough our esteem staff, our navigators is
help people kind of budget. Somaybe there is a program that will help
them, you know, maybe it'sthe SNAP program, or maybe it's the
(09:20):
heat where it can reduce their energycosts and free up money for rent or
home repairs or whatever that might be. So when we think about the individuals
that we serve and we think aboutthe programs, we really take that whole
person approach, looking at everything withregards to their resources and their needs and
helping them put together the puzzle piecesto ensure that they can maintain that independence
(09:45):
in the community. Yeah, I'mglad you bring that up. You're thinking
about, you know, an extraset of eyes looking at that budget,
because I've talked about it. Nomatter how old you are, now that
the price of everything has gone upand you think about it, maybe you're
on you know, a fixed budget. Maybe you only as you mentioned,
you get fIF teen hundred dollars andthat's it. Well, the bills,
this and that you mentioned, there'ssome costs you're able to have your navigators
(10:05):
and people take a look at thatwhere you could say, hey, maybe
you could do this differently here orthere. And that's a huge thing that
you guys offer. It most certainlyis, and we're really happy to sit
down with individuals and even families whoare many times the informal supports to the
seniors and making sure they understand,you know, all the nuances of expenses
(10:26):
and what the needs are of,you know, of their loved one.
Really important information. This morning aswe are talking with the Ohio District five
Area Agency on aging, we're talkingabout housing, we're talking about homelessness with
older adults. Our guests in thestudio this morning, you just heard again
from Dewana Patton, CEO, alsoDiane Raimy, chief Clinical Officers with US,
(10:46):
and I think it was it mayhave been Sue Montgomery who was in
on our first episode, mentioned thatyou know that somebody may you know,
be living here, but maybe theirchildren live out of state and they're not
in as much and you guys cancan kind of help out, you know,
maybe they come back and they noticea step needs fix or something like
that, and they're able to kindof reach out maybe and help get the
(11:07):
ball rolling correct. Absolutely, thecaregiver, a neighbor that identifies if they
wanted to, you know, helpsomebody navigate to our front door, be
it they walk in over the phone, we would love for them to reach
out because we're going to definitely lookat them. Again. It's want to
have said, you know, ina very holistic way so that we can
find the best way to meet theirneeds. If that's not something that we
(11:30):
actually even offer within our organization,we're going to reach out to community organizations
that provide other resources as well.So it is a very broad spectrum approach
and how we look at the individuals. One of the other things I've heard
from visiting with a lot of peoplefrom the area agency, you guys will
have people say to you, Ididn't know you did that. Yeah,
I didn't know you could help withthis, And that's Dowana Watts. You
(11:52):
got to reach out, you gotto ask, because Diane just said,
if you don't have the answer,you're going to find somebody that has the
answer. We most certainly are andthat is part of our culture and the
way that we train, you know, our navigators and the message that we
really want to send to the communityis a presenting need is not always the
root cause of a pain point ora challenge, right, So we want
(12:15):
to be able to sit down withthe individuals and figure out what, you
know, what their request is,and then kind of again that whole you
know, whole person approach is,you know, how do we then get
to the root cause of that?So you know, a really good example
is an individual that's missing doctor's appointmentsand maybe they're they're having difficulty navigating an
(12:35):
acute illness, but what we findout is it's because they don't have transportation.
So then we say, okay,well we can help with that.
We can help provide transportation. Soit's just you know, again Diana alluded
to this is you know, wewant to hear from people, whether they
come in the front door, makea phone call, or reach out to
us on our request assistance button onthe website. You know, we can
(12:56):
help navigate just the complex the easeof what's available for people as they age.
And nine counties across the region anddoing great work. Is there anything
we missed this morning? They maylive somewhere that you mentioned, they need
transportation and they're trying to figure outhow do they get from point A to
point B? The best place togo, website, phone number, I
assume then, yep, those areall great things. I think. The
(13:16):
thing that I know Diane and Iwould both want to leave the listeners with
is people will self select out.You know, I'm not eligible. I
make too much money. You knowsomebody else needs it more than I do.
Is not to take that approach thatif there is a need, please
pick up the phone and call us. And in addition, we encourage individuals
(13:37):
to participate in some of our wellnessprograms. You know, be connected with
us, whether it's at a meal, site, health fair, whatever it
might be. People come to usin crisis. You know, no problem.
We can handle a crisis. ButI do know for families that are
connected with us and kind of haveunderstood what to anticipate as mom or dad
(13:58):
or their loved one ages, itis a lot easier. And so we
also encourage people to reach out tous early on. You know, meet
us at the office, meet usat a healthfare, whatever it might be.
We can talk about what to anticipate. You know, along the way,
if you are listening to us onthe radio, iHeartRadio app, we
have the information, the phone number, the website listed. You can check

acute illness, but what we findout is it's because they don't have transportation.
So then we say, okay,well we can help with that.
We can help provide transportation. Soit's just you know, again Diana alluded
to this is you know, wewant to hear from people, whether they
come in the front door, makea phone call, or reach out to
us on our request assistance button onthe website. You know, we can
(12:56):
help navigate just the complex the easeof what's available for people as they age.
And nine counties across the region anddoing great work. Is there anything
we missed this morning? They maylive somewhere that you mentioned, they need
transportation and they're trying to figure outhow do they get from point A to
point B? The best place togo, website, phone number, I
assume then, yep, those areall great things. I think. The
(13:16):
thing that I know Diane and Iwould both want to leave the listeners with
is people will self select out.You know, I'm not eligible. I
make too much money. You knowsomebody else needs it more than I do.
Is not to take that approach thatif there is a need, please
pick up the phone and call us. And in addition, we encourage individuals
(13:37):
to participate in some of our wellnessprograms. You know, be connected with
us, whether it's at a meal, site, health fair, whatever it
might be. People come to usin crisis. You know, no problem.
We can handle a crisis. ButI do know for families that are
connected with us and kind of haveunderstood what to anticipate as mom or dad
(13:58):
or their loved one ages, itis a lot easier. And so we
also encourage people to reach out tous early on. You know, meet
us at the office, meet usat a healthfare, whatever it might be.
We can talk about what to anticipate. You know, along the way,
if you are listening to us onthe radio, iHeartRadio app, we
