Commission leadership presented a proposed schedule and said outreach planning requires lead time; staff noted that some community newsletters and locations have early deadlines for event listings. Commissioners discussed ideal timing — citing local cycles of engagement in the fall and the national Older Americans Month in May — and agreed two site visits would be most practical for 2025.

A motion to schedule two off‑site meetings in May and October 2025 was offered and seconded; the motion carried with multiple ayes and one member recorded as opposed. Commissioners clarified that the off‑site meetings should focus on locations where older adults congregate but need not be limited to age‑restricted housing; suggestions included senior housing communities, faith institutions, the public library and outreach at the farmers market as an additional engagement option.

Commissioners agreed staff would compile a list of candidate locations (senior housing, faith‑based sites, library facilities and other community gathering places) and present a short list at the February meeting for final selection and scheduling. A commissioner volunteered to contact potential locations and to coordinate newsletter and agenda submission deadlines.

The meeting also recorded routine procedural approvals earlier in the agenda: adoption of the meeting agenda and approval of the Sept. 12, 2024 minutes on the consent calendar. Those motions were passed by voice vote earlier in the session.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Senior Citizen Commission - January 14, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Davis Senior Citizens Commission voted to hold two off‑site meetings in 2025, scheduled for May and October, and discussed outreach targets and logistics for senior‑focused locations and broader community venues.","taxTitle","Davis, Yolo County, California","taxId",4622,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6344435,"Regional ombudsman describes advocacy role; commission hears volunteer expansion plans",1534,3546000,5080000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2250877-47be62a293f93ccb0c05cef3a84d9a9e&start=3546&end=5080","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2250877-47be62a293f93ccb0c05cef3a84d9a9e/thumbnail_3546000.jpg","/articles/6344435/Davis/Yolo-County/California/Regional-ombudsman-describes-advocacy-role-commission-hears-volunteer-expansion-plans","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6344435-d791d2ac17e4bcb4695e2f68518e86e2/orig.mp4?Expires=1771146589&Signature=W~wM5BEEFwSmL-uDBSLkHu253j5LEOqOrRriRf-gFxClqycOXXfzepGg2jjzd9B6ZfTopqLbRKuRhEca06pj0xzNW7bsHM2FJOIzMUH3VXth3ZWToCEa0ZJ7aKzvyEfd-nNUbUW7M0PIgg0lRNSo-8X0eH8fjiaskp~hStbM~TGYxx0EcvGKpVRN58CxQ4x-OwstT8NvZrqyoyODrrYp41VIzR-9pwfvQ~VeGAAjtXmOtSX~YO~o3I9RlQlkjGP~gJKF97OrPhu1lu~K6fRPO1YNZDbsNCB3mOFuv1eK2B8PxW9T~DxDFELahmXONzfauMxHGOo3j4r93xJgQzZVhA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Davis Senior Citizens Commission heard a second presentation from the Agency on Aging Area 4 ombudsman team about resident advocacy, complaint investigation and volunteer programs serving long‑term care settings.

\"It's a Scandinavian term meaning voice of the people,\" said Matt Grohloff, lead regional ombudsman, describing the ombudsman role as a resident‑centered advocate who identifies, investigates and works to resolve neglect, abuse and resident‑rights concerns in long‑term care. Grohloff said the federal Olmstead framework and state implementation require an ombudsman presence in the region and that his office covers multiple counties with a mix of regional staff and volunteers.

Grohloff told the commission the program's three primary functions are advocacy, education and empowerment — including training facility staff and first responders and conducting routine access visits to licensed skilled nursing and residential care facilities. He emphasized that ombudsmen are not mandated reporters and instead provide an advocacy pathway for residents who may be reluctant to make formal reports.

Commissioners and members of the public then heard from a staff member overseeing volunteers about current and planned volunteer efforts. The agency described several volunteer programs already active or under development: meal delivery drivers for Sutter and Yuba counties; garden build events at facilities; certified exercise instructors who lead regular classes; and a caring callers reassurance program in soft launch that matches volunteers by phone to isolated older adults on a recurring schedule.

The volunteer staffer said the agency had run six garden builds in the previous year and engaged about 300 volunteers across programs; the Meals on Wheels driver roster ranges roughly 75–100 deliveries per week in some areas. The caring callers pilot has received interest from older volunteers, college students and community members and is being matched in an initial rollout.

Grohloff and volunteer staff noted that volunteers help expand the program’s reach — for example, by supplementing mandated quarterly facility visits and by providing continuity for residents. Commissioners asked about facility ownership trends and care quality; Grohloff said larger corporate ownership sometimes brings cost‑cutting pressures that can affect staffing and quality, while smaller local providers often have stronger community ties.

Commissioners also raised questions about capacity determinations, involuntary discharges and resident rights. Grohloff said ombudsmen work with residents, families and facilities to assess whether residents can participate in decisions and to ensure appeal rights and safe discharge planning are followed. He offered to provide specific facility counts and bed totals to commissioners after the meeting.

The commission thanked ombudsman staff for materials and business cards and asked staff to share facility counts and other requested data.","The commission received an overview of the long‑term care ombudsman program, its resident‑advocacy role, and a plan to expand volunteer activities including a caring callers reassurance pilot and meal delivery drivers.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6344440,"Agency on Aging Area 4 outlines ADRC services and launches Key Connections coliving pilot",78,184000,262000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2250877-47be62a293f93ccb0c05cef3a84d9a9e&start=184&end=262","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2250877-47be62a293f93ccb0c05cef3a84d9a9e/thumbnail_184000.jpg","/articles/6344440/Davis/Yolo-County/California/Agency-on-Aging-Area-4-outlines-ADRC-services-and-launches-Key-Connections-coliving-pilot","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6344440-2641711ed543255d4c5a01f4f25add2d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771146589&Signature=crEo~x9HRrVbrcuop2jN8EglSjjaCvN~GhkWItxJJrdXTtSXAG5FPcpKvxOX4q9dDoL9F23M3PpoI-BuS20IvZrC6L9Hw~Sm628iggrrVj1Q52BY7raxFoCBaOGRqaM2HlWspB3Q-I6awFc2ufyXsoE-WZH1lt1uhDEiEgxpYfEjnfknS~qMdgoeQrAYqsXGtaKKtPlEwc7DUNodRUM12MlBdwfY2hwd4taO7gLg7-Qoloeq~7RM~PUkanT3q1wtXp80f4QEtmJHj4bp4943k5FDrFq9A2RrVfe6pyaWka-m8--ErQntX9MtItttgx8vIMBeYaiUcFltfkrNjcwr1g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Davis Senior Citizens Commission on Tuesday heard a presentation from Agency on Aging Area 4 about the Aging and Disability Resource Connection (ADRC) and a newly launched Key Connections co‑living program.

\"The ADRC is the single point of entry for long term supports and services for older adults who may have disabilities,\" said Jasmine Sanchez, a case manager at Agency on Aging Area 4. Sanchez told commissioners the ADRC serves older adults 60 and over and people with disabilities across seven Northern California counties including Yolo and Sacramento and that ADRC services are not income‑driven and are provided at no cost.

Sanchez said the ADRC uses a “no wrong door” and person‑centered approach to connect callers to resources and supports. Core ADRC services she described are enhanced information and assistance, short‑term service coordination (for goals under 90 days), person‑centered options counseling (longer‑term planning), and transitions support (for hospital or facility discharges back to community settings).

The presentation then turned to Key Connections, a new program the agency said is designed to expand affordable housing options and social connection by matching home providers who have a spare room with home seekers. \"Coliving is the intentional living arrangement between two or more adults to share a home,\" Sanchez said, describing program tasks including screening, background checks, home visits, facilitation of rental agreements and ongoing support.

Sanchez said Key Connections is not emergency housing, not short‑term shelter, not an in‑home care service and not a property management company. She explained two basic arrangement types: a straight rental (money paid for a private room) and a mixed arrangement (partial rent offset by service exchange such as light chores or transportation). Program requirements for homes include a private lockable bedroom with window and heating, access to kitchen facilities and shared dining privileges; homes must be located in Placer, Sacramento or Yolo counties.

On participant screening Sanchez said applicants must complete an application, pass a background check and supply references; home providers must pass a home visit and inspection. She said the program currently is in an early stage after an official launch three weeks earlier, with roughly 35 people expressing interest and two home seekers having completed applications and background checks. Referrals are accepted by phone, email and web contact; Sanchez gave an intake phone contact during the presentation and said the agency’s intake coordinator, Joanne, handles referral routing.

Commissioners asked about outreach and access in Davis. Commissioner Carol Gavin asked whether staff could hold weekly office hours in Davis to improve in‑person access; Sanchez said the agency will explore holding local office hours and accommodate space where feasible. Commissioners and members of the public suggested outreach channels including faith communities, Meals on Wheels, student housing contacts, local realtors and the senior center newsletter. One commenter urged the agency to revisit a strict three‑year eviction exclusion in screening, noting many evictions are retaliatory; Sanchez said the program is coordinating with legal services to review applications on a case‑by‑case basis and provide guidance to home providers.

The presentation closed with commissioners offering to help publicize the program and to host occasional office hours at the Davis Senior Center; Sanchez and agency staff agreed to share program materials with the commission for local distribution.

Key facts: the ADRC is presented as a single access point for long‑term supports and case management; Key Connections seeks to pair home seekers and providers for affordable rooms with screening, background checks and home inspections; the program is newly launched and currently in a soft rollout phase.

The commission moved on after the presentation to other agenda items.","Agency on Aging Area 4 staff described the Aging and Disability Resource Connection (ADRC) as a single point of entry for long‑term supports and introduced Key Connections, a new co‑living program that pairs home providers and seekers to provide affordable rooms and social connection.","actionData","errors"]
