April 2008: BRADD/AAA Partners with Barren River District Health Department to implement the “planning phase” of the KERI
The Barren River Area Development District Area Agency on Aging partners with the Barren River District Health Department to conduct community forums to gather community representatives and citizens to prioritize public health and aging concerns. These forums are the second part of “The Big Listen” that was started with the Everybody Survey and the “planning phase” of the Kentucky Elder Readiness Initiative. Health Department and Aging Staff will discuss the assets and challenges of both the Everybody Survey for each county and the KERI survey for the Barren River Area. These survey data will be utilized to initiate discussions and to obtain citizens greatest concerns relating to Health Issues, Health Service Issues, Environmental Health Concerns and Baby Boomer Issues. Communities will be asked to accept the challenge and make a commitment to be a part of the planning and development process of local initiatives to address concerns identified in the public forums. It is through this planning process that local communities can create sustainable projects and programs that support a Healthy and Aging Community.

Green River Preliminary Report (pdf format)

I am very excited to report that Hancock County took GRADD’s lead and had our first county KERI meeting on November 19, 2007. We had 25 people in attendance, including the entire Fiscal Court, and State Representative Dwight Butler. A few others were detained and unable to make the meeting. The main priority for this meeting was to agree on areas of focus, which the task force chose four; Education/Recreation; Employment/Volunteer Opportunities; Housing; and Transportation. Once we determined our focal areas we formed committees for each. The committees are to meet sometime between now and the middle of January to identify goals; means of completion, including funding, and a time line to meet those goals. The Hancock County task force will come back together in late January or early February, depending on how quickly the committees are able to complete their tasks, to combine the information and determine a master time line to reach all of the goals decided on. GRADD has scheduled a regional meeting sometime in March for the County task forces to report.
The Green River Area Development District (GRADD) serves the counties of Daviess, Hancock, Henderson, McLean, Ohio, Union and Webster.

KERI IN ACTION:
February 2008: Knott Senior Center in Kentucky River Development District (KRADD)
Contributed by Melissa Sloane
Knott County’s Senior Center travels each Wednesday to the Sportsplex for fun and exercise. This provides seniors with the opportunity to remain physically active and practice for the Senior Games. On a recent trip I tagged along with the seniors to experience the Sportsplex with them. As we entered the doors the group split up and each headed to their favorite activity. Several went to the walking track, one to the basketball court and a few to the bowling lanes. As I mingled from one activity to another I had the opportunity to ask the seniors what they enjoyed about the Sportsplex and what they gained or hoped to gain by their participation in the activities. Several talked about the senior games and how having a place to practice their bowling skills would give them an advantage at this years games. Others talked about having access to equipment or physical activities at the Sportsplex that they would not be able to access any where else.
In the City of Jenkins (Letcher County) a group of citizens are working together to ensure the future of the city. A major task on the group’s agenda is to find funding for an Assisted Living Facility. As a starting point for the project they have met on two occasions (Sept. 24 and Oct. 15, 2007) with various individuals and organizational representatives to gather information about assist living programs and possible land options for the facility.
Additionally in an attempt to gain input from other community members about the needs within the community a survey is being developed. The committee hopes to gain insight into shorter-term projects they can pursue. It is hoped that by working with the local government, schools, health care facilities and other community organizations that individuals can be educated about the aging population and find ways that they can become involved.
