Masonic Village Group Home Experience Population Trends & Implications Critical Questions/Issues for CCRCs Business Plan for Launching a Pilot Project Discussion
Masonic Villages’ Mission of Love ◦ How can our mission help include more people in our community? ◦ How can a more inclusive community strengthen the value of our mission? What is a Community?
Vision of generosity of Ken & Elaine Bleiler Over the last 115 years our community has continued to grow We have found that the more inclusive we’ve become, the stronger our community has become We view our campus as a microcosm of the larger community around us Why Bleiler Cottage
Program is located in a safe and supportive environment with access to staff, amenities and services on campus as well as interaction with the surrounding community Could not provide same level and convenience of services in off-campus setting Why Bleiler Cottage
We had the staff with necessary skill sets 1:8 staff-resident ratio Current budget for eight individuals = $276,479 Estimated budget for four individuals = $255,993 Staffing and Costs
The Bleiler Caring Cottage and similar residential programs for Autism are licensed by the 6400 regulations through the Office of Development Programs under the DHS Residents may receive Base dollars, which are county/state funded Consolidated waiver funding (federally matched) is the primary funding source for residential programs but not if on a CCRC campus Funding & Licensing
National ◦ 1 in 10 families affected by ID ◦ > 700,000 people with autism over 65 by 2030 ◦ 1/ ; 1/ and rising PA ◦ By 2030 > 74,000 adults will need services and support ◦ Over 1.2 million persons in PA with a disability Population Trends
Fewer young people caring for aging parents or siblings More seniors with ID, or adult sons or daughters with ID 80% of long term care for individuals with ID is provided in the home by family Parents looking “for back-up plan” Now is the time to begin to focus on the issue: “Community” impact Population Implications
