Joint Meeting with SASCC
Paul Bowlin introduced SASCC board and staff present and outli~ed
operations of the Senior Center and Senior Day Care facilities and
programs through SASCC.
Olga MacFarlane described the general operations of the Senior Center
programs and membership in SASCC.
Phyllis Dolloff discussed the work of the Health Committee and the
health programs provided through the Senior Center. Saratoga
pioneered functional health screening, which has become a model for
other agencies throughout the County, state and the nation.
Andy Beverett discussed fund-raising projects and senior housing in
the City. Pledges and commitments have come in to meet the $65,000
goal to help finance the expansion of the Senior Center. Senior
housing will grow as a problem for Saratoga and the Masson senior
housing proposal as critical for meeting this emerging social need as
the City enters the 1990's.
PaUl Bowlin presented the proposed budget for the Senior Center. The
proposal calls for an increase from $59,000 to $62,000 over the
current fiscal year. A $35,000 grant from the City, the same as the
current year, is proposed.
Rita Pennington, Adult Day Care Center Administrator, discussed the
adult day care program. Program will be one year old in January.
Serves 21 persons, average age 84+, 75% are female and 50/50
ambulatory. 90% are Saratoga residents. Program is planned to
expand to 16 persons and three days a week by July 1, 1989, and 20
persons by January 1, 1990. Licensed for 30 persons. Dr. Robert
Boswell discussed the problems of bringing the program up to its full
potential to make it as cost-effective as possible. Council asked
for statistics on costs for this program and other programs in other
cities so the Council can compare the development of the Saratoga
Program with others. The proposed budget was presented at $91,000
compared with $60,000 for the first year by Keith Gordon. A grant of
$30,000 is being requested from the City, up from $20,000 for the
current year. Cost projected at $6.75 per visit hour for upcoming
year.
