| Other | Spring Creek Senior Partners NORC has been serving the seniors residing in Spring Creek Towers since 1999. It is a stable, productive, forward thinking partnership with a strong foundation and support from its community. In partnership with Visiting Nurse Services / Partners in Care, our NORC has the privilege to have a full-time nurse onsite and we are committed to continuing this. Our NORC also has a Nurse Consultant. Our exercise and health promotion programming are accessible to all, adapting as indicated (i.e., Tai Chi for Arthritis in chairs, Matter of Balance, Walk with Ease, Yoga, Pilates and Stronger Longer, Technology class, Health and Nutrition, etc.). We have many community partners and stakeholders, allowing us to greatly expand the programming and services we provide. Our housing partner is extremely supportive and our longstanding communication and collaboration with key offices of the housing complex allows us to coordinate activities and services for maximum effectiveness. We have offered programs to assist our seniors who live alone and/or have disabilities for many years and continue to expand our programming for this group. Our Chore Care program provides valuable assistance with everyday activities such as laundry, shopping and light housekeeping. We recently expanded our Senior Companion Program to include a bilingual (Spanish-speaking) companion and are working to recruit additional bilingual companions. Our Telephone Reassurance program is a welcome daily conversation for many of our seniors who say this is often the only call they receive. Over the past two years, we have tripled the number of seniors participating in this program and added a Spanish and Russian language session by recruiting new bilingual volunteers. We also provide Case Management Services, Case assistance Services, Health Care Management Services, Health Case Assistance Services as well as Friendly Visiting. We are also working with our local library to offer joint programming and obtain large print materials. Although the area has ample stores, healthcare providers, schools and amenities and public bus transportation, it is a self-contained, geographically isolated community and can be challenging for residents with mobility issues. The NORC provides an essential service by having a convenient, centrally located office and staff has the ability to go into people's homes. Many providers in the area do not provide in-home care, and without the NORC nurse, social workers and chore care worker, homebound, frail and mobility-impaired residents would not receive the assistance they need. Our NORC also provides intensive services to the oldest-old who often require a higher level of service than is available, reimbursable or affordable. A large proportion of the seniors served by the NORC have limited English ability, with the main languages being Russian, Spanish, Polish and Haitian Creole. The NORC has a diverse staff reflective of the community it serves and the majority of staff members are at least bilingual and some speak several languages. Staff are available who can communicate in all of the above-noted languages and the NORC has access to Language Line services to assist those who speak languages other than those noted above. In addition to staff, the NORC has a large number of volunteers, most of them seniors and residents of the community, who are at least bilingual themselves. This has allowed the NORC to significantly increase the number and scope of services to those seniors with limited English ability including expanded telephone reassurance programs in Spanish and Russian, workshops and lectures by health care and social service professionals in Russian and Spanish, etc. Through strengthening and expanding its partnerships and relationships with community stakeholders, the NORC has worked tirelessly to increase the number of resources and programs available to the seniors residing in the complex. The NORC plays a crucial role in reaching out, coordinating residents and raising awareness not only of the needs of the large number of seniors, but through its partnerships, bringing the various groups together to identify, mobilize the community, and work to address these needs. The dramatic increase in the number of clients served by the NORC is a testament not only to the increasing need for services, but also the trust the NORC enjoys from the seniors who see this as the number one organization in the community that they turn to when they need assistance. A systematic and consistent outreach effort has resulted in many new contacts and collaborations and also increases the exposure and support from the community. There has been a steady and consistent increase in the number of seniors served annually by the NORC. The number of seniors served in FY 2014 was 710; FY 2015 it was 822; FY 2016 it was 988; FY 2017 it was 1418, FY 2018 it was 1325; FY 2019 it was 1334; and YTD FY 2020 (July 1, 2019-June 16, 2020 it is 1521.) The dramatic increase is mainly due to the overwhelming success of our very robust health promotion programming and expansion of bilingual health promotion, telephone reassurance and recreational activities. This has allowed us to introduce many new seniors to the NORC. The seniors in the community are confident that they will receive high quality services from the NORC, their needs will be listened to and their concerns addressed. In addition to seeking services from the NORC, many seniors as well as youth from the community see the NORC as a fulfilling and welcoming place to volunteer and complete an internship. We work closely with the two senior centers in our community, JASA Starrett City Senior Center and Vandalia Senior Center to coordinate programs and avoid duplication. We refer to each other, assuring a complete and complimentary service plan for our seniors. Our staff also works closely with the local Jewish Community Council of Canarsie to coordinate cases and collaborate on events and programs. We work very closely with the Brooklyn Sports Club, collaborating on programs, and participating in their annual Senior Health and Fitness Day. They generously provide space to us free of charge when needed for our programs and events. Ronald A. Jean, Executive Director of the NORC is an active board member of the Community Advisory Board of Brookdale University Hospital and Medical Center. Since this is in close proximity to the NORC, many of our seniors are hospitalized there. This productive collaboration has helped our staff to better coordinate care and discharge for our seniors when they are hospitalized. It has also helped a great deal with our health promotion programming since Brookdale has provided many speakers and practitioners for screenings and educational health workshops. We have a long standing and warm relationship with Touro College, which had a satellite site right in Spring Creek Towers. We are one of the most popular internship sites for students in their Human Services Program. We have collaborated in the past with the local Lions Club on events such as Making Strides Against Breast Cancer and they in turn have volunteered at our events and programs. Our NORC collaborates with the local Italian American Civil Rights League, one of the few organizations providing onsite social services, focusing on youth and families. We refer to each other and coordinate services when indicated and we also serve as a host site for interns from Summer Youth Employment program, most of whom live in the community. Our annual Intergenerational Arts Program is coordinated with the afterschool program of the local primary school and overseen by the Office of Community Relations. Based on our ability and commitment to clinically serve the seniors in the community in meeting their needs, New York City Council recently awarded SCSP/NORC a Discretionary Grant. Additionally, one of the District State Senators recently nominated Senior Partners for a new grant as well.
