Annual Report 2022-2023
Independence. Vitality. Respect.
Dear Friends and Supporters, As we reflect on the past year, it’s hard to believe how far we have come since the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic. We have continued to celebrate the return of in-person gatherings, including our suite of Healthy Living classes, Memory Cafes and community lunches. However, the lasting effects of the pandemic on the economy have left many older adults facing insurmountable challenges. We have been on the front lines providing lifesaving support to older adults every step of the way, but we now find ourselves at a critical juncture. The pandemic- era funding that has sustained our efforts will be ending, just as the needs of our community continue to escalate. Requests for support through our Helpline, and home- delivered meal service, have nearly doubled since the start of the pandemic. Our Home Repair program has seen an increase in the number of jobs completed by approximately 20% each year for the past two years. Housing costs have reached a crisis level, with

two-thirds of our calls coming from older adults struggling to afford rent and facing homelessness at an alarming rate. Arizona experienced the largest increase in rent prices in the country, and Tucson’s rent prices have risen more than 30% since the beginning of the pandemic. As PCOA prepares its response plan to bridge the gap between dwindling resources and the growing need for assistance, we have locked arms with Area Agencies on Aging across the state and are excited to share that this year, we successfully secured new legislative funding. These funds will be used to support our targeted client services, including an emergency fund, home delivered meals, and other in-home supports. You will learn more about this in the pages ahead.
The challenges remain great, but we are fortified by the strength of our community partners and the generosity of our donors who partner with us in this work. Together, we will continue to support and empower older adults, ensuring they can age with the respect and dignity they deserve.

initiatives for housing assistance, ensuring the safety of older adults in their homes. Over the past few years, we’ve worked diligently to build programming and infrastructure to sustain our direct care workforce. Continued advocacy has allowed us to strengthen the workforce by maintaining funding for contracted companies, enabling better recruitment and retention of caregivers. This support addresses long-standing disparities in the workforce, making caregiving more appealing to a new generation. While we’ve seen significant progress, there’s more ahead. Your ongoing support and advocacy are invaluable in communicating the needs of Pima County’s older adults to legislators and Congress.

282 referrals to DCSA Options Counselors. 842 Memory screenings completed. 379 Dementia Friends trained.
DCSA provides Options Counseling services which include free memory screenings, intake/assessment, Person Centered Plans and coordination of services and referrals to community partners. The DCSA Community Engagement Specialist continues to offer a suite of dementia trainings which include Dementia Friends and training on dementia for caregivers. Empowering Caregivers, a support program provided in a caregiver’s workplace, in partnership with the employer, is available to employers countywide. This program works to partner with local employers to provide on-site support and training to their employees who are also informal caregivers. Memory Cafes are thriving in Pima County! Memory Cafes are innovative gatherings that aim to address the pressing needs of individuals in our community living with Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementias, as well as their caregivers, families, and friends. They provide a warm and welcoming environment that fosters a sense of engagement, community, and emotional support
We provide end of life care planning at PCOA because we believe that part of living well is preparing well for dying. We offer services in English and Spanish, including one-on-one coaching to help individuals understand their options, discuss wishes with important people, and formalize end of life decisions, as well as community education and group presentations. PCOA is a founding member of the Arizona End of Life Care Partnership. Anchored by the United Way of Tucson and Southern Arizona, and fueled by the support of local foundations, the End of Life Care Partnership is dedicated to providing education and resources that prepare adults to plan for end of life care. This year, we are excited to share that we nearly tripled the number of people receiving supports and services for their end of life care planning and we will continue to expand our reach in the upcoming year through the generous support of the Shaaron Kent Endowment Fund held at the Community Foundation for Southern Arizona.
through activities including music, art, games, and socialization. There are currently three Cafes offered through DCSA and their partners (La Posada, Senior Pride and AARP Arizona), with a rotating variety of programming throughout the month at the different locations.

FAMILY CAREGIVER SUPPORT PROGRAM
HEALTHY L IVING
447 people participated in Family Caregiver Support Groups. 75 family caregivers were trained in Caregiving Essentials. 2,274 people received personalized caregiver support services. 111 caregivers received 28,580 hours of respite services.
365 older adults participated in our Healthy Living programs
Programs offered this year included A Matter of Balance, EnhanceFitness, Healthy Living with Chronic Pain and the Aging Mastery Program. The feedback received from program participants validates the benefits that they have received and the importance of offering these evidence-based programs in community settings. The overall goal of our programs is to empower older adults with health information, tools and resources to enable them to maintain their independence and quality of life. Volunteer opportunities are available in many of our healthy living programs.
PCOA’s aging & caregiving specialists help to decrease stress and increase support and coping skills for caregivers by providing information and assisting with accessing resources. We offer individual consultations, caregiver support groups (in-person and virtually), education, and respite services to give caregivers a break. We are proud to offer supports and services in both Spanish and English.
"The program content was very engaging and informative. I was pleased to meet many new and interesting people. It was great to learn and interact with my peers!" - Aging Mastery Program Participant
“Excellent class! Makes you feel you are not alone. We all have fallen and can do better, be smarter, and be more aware of our surroundings.”
We serve caregivers providing care to someone 60 or older, or someone of any age with Alzheimer’s disease or related dementia. We also partner with Arizona Kinship Support Services
(or AKSS), a program of Arizona’s Children Association, to support kinship caregivers. This year, we are excited to share that support group participation more than tripled, and personalized consultation more than doubled over the past year.

HELPLINE
OMBUDSMAN PROGRAM
33,633 people helped through our Helpline services.
3,651 long-term care residents provided ombudsman services. 1,544 complaints resolved. 3,385 visits to long-term care facilities. 435 consultations with family members’ residents in long-term care facilities. 265 consultations to facility staff. 267 resident/ family council meetings.
The Helpline is typically the first point of entry for people in need contacting PCOA. PCOA’s Helpline staff serves two primary functions: to provide accurate information and referrals to services both within PCOA and in the community, and to conduct intake screenings for various case-managed services through the Community Services System.
PCOA’s Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program advocates for residents in long-term care facilities in Pima County, which include 24 skilled nursing facilities and 330 board and care facilities (i.e., assisted living facilities, adult care homes, and adult foster homes). The team conducts monthly visits to 23 Skilled Nursing Facilities, bi-monthly visits to the 51 Assisted Living Facilities, and quarterly visits to 233 Assisted Living Homes. The Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program seeks to: • Resolve complaints made by or for residents of long-term care facilities. • Advocate for residents’ rights and quality care in long-term care facilities. • Educate consumers and long-term care providers about residents’ rights and good care practices. • Provide information to the public on long-term care facilities and services and residents’ rights. • Promote the development of family and resident councils. “Your help with getting resolution with the facility my mother was in was key in getting the outcome we needed. I’m sure this outcome would not have happened so quickly if you had not been involved. I spent several days trying to get information from the facilities to no avail. Your actions made all the difference. To top that off,
PCOA Helpline staff gather basic information about the caller and the issue or question they are calling about. Staff then refer the caller to PCOA-provided services or to a network of other
community agencies that may be able to address their needs. Helpline staff assist people with a diverse range of concerns and
have documented a significant increase in emergency requests including crisis calls or referrals.

HOME REPAIR & ADAPTATION
IN-HOME SERVICES
Home Repair referrals are continuing to increase in the community. 748 people served through home repair and adaptation.
1,363 people received 170,271 hours of in-home services.
PCOA’s Home Repair program assists with home repairs for lower-income homeowners in Pima County. We have helped hundreds of people with modifications to their home such as grab bar installation, shower chairs and wheelchair ramps. Home repairs and adaptations help keep the homes of older adults safe and accessible. The number of repairs has increased 20% in the last two years, and we have needed to adjust the type of jobs and client eligibility due to the rising costs of repairs and limited funds. This year, we have been able to hire an additional Home Repair Specialist to help with the increased need in the
PCOA offers in-home support to those who struggle with performing activities of daily living, such as dressing, bathing, cooking, and cleaning. In-home services allow older adults needing help to remain safe and independent in their own homes. Our PCOA case managers visit each client at home twice a year to complete an in-depth assessment and determine what the individual can do themselves and what help they need to remain independent. The case manager then works with the client to build a care plan to meet those needs. Services that can be provided at no cost by PCOA and our network of community providers include light housekeeping, help with bathing and dressing, emergency alert services and shopping. While the need for in-home care continues to outpace the availability of caregivers, our innovative Friends & Neighbors option offers a model where qualifying older adults can hire a caregiver of their choice and submit for reimbursement for approved hours. 232 clients currently served through this option would be waiting on a direct care worker if this option didn’t exist. Our team provides services and information in Spanish or English to meet the needs of our community.
community to help older adults live in their homes longer. PCOA is actively pursuing and successfully acquiring additional funding to meet growing demands.

MEALS PROGRAMS 355,107 meals served to over 3,100 clients through our home-delivered meals program. 76,811 meals through 12 community meal sites for older adults in Pima County.
LGBTQI+ INITIATIVES/ VISIBILITY MATTERS
24 Visibility Matters Presentations were provided to 538 people.
As LGBTQI+ people age and need supportive services to meet their aging goals, many of them question whether it is safe to share with their providers that they are LGBTQI+ due to stigma they have witnessed and experienced over their lifetimes. The Visibility Matters training helps care providers gain the tools needed to create a safe place for LGBTQI+ people to be their authentic selves so that their unique needs can be met. The training provides information about how to be more aware, sensitive, and responsive to LGBTQI+ older people
PCOA offers the Pima Meals on Wheels program with the help of various community partners. This is a meal delivery program for home-bound older adults and those who live with a disability where cooking poses a challenge. In addition to home delivery, older adults can enjoy an affordable meal and a fun social outing at one of our 12 community meal sites. We are in the process of opening two new community lunch sites through a new partnership with Chicanos Por La Causa. Both sites are primarily Spanish speaking and low-income senior housing apartment complexes offering English as a Second Language and immigration services to their complexes and surrounding area. Meal demands have nearly
and their families. This year, we exponentially improved the training opportunities available to aging care providers in Arizona, including the development of a new suite of video resources and a follow-up system that will foster institutional change. We have extended our expertise to the larger community, incentivizing LGBTQI+ inclusion within the aging care field throughout Arizona. Our Visibility Matters training is getting notice, both locally and nationally. We have presented at the USAging Conference and the National Alzheimer’s and Dementia Resource Center, among others. PCOA’s LGBTQI+ Initiatives Specialist was the recipient of the 2022 UAHS LGBTQIA+ Community Leadership Award for their contributions to inclusive and affirming healthcare for LGBTQIA+ patients.

7,672 volunteers provided 84,374 hours of service. Volunteers drove 542,098 miles to meet clients’ basic needs. 14,189 older adults received volunteer support to remain independent. Each month, an average of 1,182 older adults are assisted by 639 volunteers.
claims/billing issues and alleged scams handled.
As the designated State Health Insurance Assistance Program for Pima County, PCOA provides unbiased, no- cost direct assistance with Medicare. We aim to empower, educate, and assist Medicare-eligible individuals through objective outreach, counseling, and training, to make informed health insurance decisions that optimize access to care and benefits. PCOA does not sell nor endorse any Medicare plans. Our staff and volunteers are highly trained and certified to help Medicare beneficiaries, their families, and caregivers with information about Medicare, Medicare Advantage plans, Medicare Prescription Drug coverage, Medigap plans, explaining how supplemental insurance options work with Medicare, fraud concerns, and much more. PCOA’s Medicare program also has Medicare and Senior Medicare Patrol presentations available in Spanish to better serve the second largest Medicare population in Pima County. “As I get older, finding the best Medicare plan would be impossible if not for PCOA! From my whole heart, thank you!” –Medicare Participant
PCOA’s Neighbors Care Alliance (NCA) is a network of neighborhood volunteer programs helping older adults to live and thrive safely in their homes. Volunteers support older adults through a variety of services which can include: transportation to medical appointments and shopping, running errands, meal delivery, phone calls and visits, light house and yard work, and caregiver respite. Services vary by organization. Neighbors connecting to neighbors reduces the social isolation many older adults face while helping to meet everyday needs. This year, the 15 Neighbors Care Programs continued to expand their reach within their communities and the impact was significant. In every tracked area, services and support increased: Over 89,000 more miles driven, over 2,900 volunteer hours were provided, 108 more older adults are served on average monthly, and 919 new older adults were enrolled. PCOA recognizes the need to establish new Neighbors Care Programs and is currently working collaboratively
with multiple neighborhood groups with the prospect of becoming participants. PCOA was invited to present the Neighbors Care Alliance program model at the Age of Connections: 2022 Age Friendly Arizona Conference in Phoenix (Sept. 2022) and at a forum sponsored by the ELDER Alliance in Tucson.

RIGHTS & BENEFITS
SENIOR COMPANION PROGRAM
Through 6,529 contacts, the Rights and Benefits team assisted 1,768 clients during the last fiscal year. During the 2023 tax season six PCOA volunteers helped 19 eligible older adults claim $62,242.00 in property tax credit refunds.
27 volunteers provided 10,293 hours and received 2,853 training hours. 71 clients received support services from the Senior Companion Program.
The Senior Companion Program (SCP) is a national service program under AmeriCorps Seniors, engaging low-income volunteers 55+ to support isolated and homebound older adults providing transportation, respite to family caregivers, and companionship. Volunteers
PCOA’s highly skilled and trained Rights and Benefits staff and volunteers help and advocate for older adults with a wide range of issues, such as landlord/ tenant disputes, accessing financial assistance resources, and consumer issues such as unfair sales practices and unsatisfactory service. Services offered include one-on-one counseling or advice, contacting creditors or other entities, assisting in filling out forms, helping to file for property tax refunds, benefits enrollment, and much more. A personal budgeting program is also offered to help older adults who may struggle with creating a household budget or maintain timely bill payment. During the past year, Rights and Benefits has continued to see a significant increase in housing-related concerns. Nearly two-thirds of calls to PCOA’s Helpline cite housing as a major concern, which is echoed by partner agencies who report an alarming rise in homelessness amongst older adults in Pima County. The lack of affordable housing options is a critical issue for older adults who may only receive Social Security and are being priced out of the rental market. PCOA has secured some one-time funding to alleviate emergency needs and we continue to advocate for policies and public funding allocations that confront this housing crisis.

addition to providing much needed transportation and moral support, Senior
Companions serve as an extra set of eyes and ears in the home and have helped clients to avoid scams, and utility overpayments due to a water leak, and to seek urgent medical attention when medical providers did not follow up on irregular lab results. Giving their time and friendship, Senior Companions work as part of a team of professionals to help older adults age in place longer.

CGTI awarded 106 certificates in our four programs (Nursing Assistant, Bridge to Caregiver, Caregiver and Assisted Living Manager).

This year, we were very excited to enter into a partnership with the Sahuarita Food Bank and Community Resource Center to extend our reach into south and west Pima County. In our continued efforts to address the increasing need for caregivers, we created an innovative value pricing program offering discounts to employers paying for their staff training through CGTI. Additionally, we have fostered a partnership with the Arizona Healthcare Association to be one of the training sites for skilled nursing facilities and assisted living centers. Through the generous support of Tucson Medical Center Foundation, we have been able to offer discounted tuition. All of these measures together resulted in CGTI having the largest graduations to date in 2023!
