| Maui County Office On Aging Four Year Area Plan April 2011 to October 2011 | |||
 MAW
was retained as the Project Coordinator to facilitate the development of
the Maui County Office on Aging’s
4-year
Area Plan on Aging, covering the federal fiscal period from October 1,
2011 through September 30, 2015. It was developed to be a practical and
comprehensive planning and compliance document to guide the County of
Maui to assure appropriate, high quality services are delivered to the
tri-island county’s older adults. The creation and adoption of the plan
is a factor in the ability of the County of Maui to receive federal
funds under the Older
Americans Act through the
federal Administration on Aging and the state Office on Aging.
This plan describes the Older American Maui County population and the approaches to be taken to provide them an appropriate and coordinated system of services that fully supports their well-being. The carefully developed array of services provided offers our seniors a backdrop for assuring that Maui County Seniors can age with the grace and dignity encompassed in the Hawaiian value known as ‘aloha’.

| Department of Health Telehealth Pilot Project January 2008-June 2009 | |||
 MAW
was a partner and champion in an innovative, forward-thinking pilot
project in partnership with the Maui District Office of the Department
of Health.
This pilot focused on using two-way audio visual connections via
laptop allowing homebound individuals to communicate with public health
nurses who were located in their offices during the visit.A total of 60 in-home virtual visits were done with the intent of determining if tele-visits could eventually replace some of the in-person visits by Public Health Nurses with the hope of reducing system costs and improving care outcomes. This experience was invaluable in observing the individual learning styles of senior citizens and noting how they compensated for their weaknesses with alternative processes.

Better
Choices Better Health is a Stanford University Program and is brought to
the Maui Community through Maui County Office on Aging. The program is
a special project for the State of Hawaii Healthy Aging Partnership and
is supported by a wide array of community partners.
The Hawaii Department of Health, Executive Office on Aging (EOA) will
provide this pilot program of participant-directed supports (called
Hawaii’s Community Living Program or CLP) to adults with limited incomes
and assets, but not Medicaid eligible, who may be at risk of placement
in a nursing facility due to functional challenges. The purpose of the
program is to help these eligible adults remain living in their own
homes and avoid impoverishment. The program serves participants by
providing a “Coach” and a monthly budget to purchase supports such as
employing personal assistance in the home or goods that support the
participant to remain living at home. Federal grant and state funds are
allocated to provide direct supports (funding the individual monthly
budgets) for participants in Maui County during a 12-month period.
