THE FIRST LADY VISITS
COMMUNITY CARE FOR THE ELDERLY
WUWM-FMMILWAUKEE PUBLIC RADIO REPORT
MR. BOCK: -~ Milwaukee Public Radio. Good
morning, I'm Bob Bock (phonetic). Support for MPR news comes
from AMGEN (phonetic), bringing better, healthier lives to
millions worldwide through biotechnology.
First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton says she'd like
to see more elderly care centers like the one she visited in
Milwaukee this weekend. community care for the elderly saves
the government up to 15 percent in medical costs for frail
senior citizens in the program. More from WUWM's Andrea Rowe
(phonetic) .
•
MS. ROWE.: Three years ago Josephine needed the
kind of medical attention and special services that one gets
at a nursing home. Instead, she lives at home with her
husband while a team of doctors and care-givers look after
her.
A PARTICIPANT: And I always tell my husband if he
has to put me in a nursing home, please, shoot me first. I
think I would have been very, very depressed just sitting
there watching television and looking out the window, and
this way it gives you -- it really gives you an incentive to
do what you're supposed to do. Like, I'm supposed to be
exercising my hands, so I do it.
MS. ROWE: Josephine. is in a pilot program called
community care for the elderly, or CCE. Through one center
she gets all the medical care, social services, and home help
she needs. Participants sign over their Medicaid and
Medicare policies, . and CCE provides anything a senior needs.
in order to still live at home, like a wheelchair ramp, house
cleaning, or visiting doctors. At the same time, Josephine
and others in the program come to a day center as often as
they like. A driver comes in the morning and takes everyone

home at night.
A PARTICIPANT: Well, we have current events for
part of the program, then they have an exercise program, and
then we have lunch. And after that there's various
activities, craft work, trivia programs, working on crossword
puzzles.
MS. ROWE: And in-between activities, seniqrs see
their doctors, therapists and social workers, all under one
roof. Mary Gavinsky (phonetic) is the CCE medical director
and says the program is experimental not only in the types of
services it offers, but in the way it's run. without the
program, the elderly have several different health agencies
making decisions about them.. Sometimes this causes over
medication where. s·ervices overlap.
MS. GAVINSKY: What we can offer here is that the
doctor, and the nurse, and the social worker, and the home
care worker, and the personal care worker are all sitting
down and talking about the person and making a joint plan of
what we think is right, and also taking into consideration
what that individual wants.
•
MS. ROWE: Gavinsky says everyone from the doctors
to the drivers keep track of each senior's well-being.
During a morning pickup a driver might notice a slight change
and bring them straight into the center's clinic. with so
many open eyes and ears, Gavinsky says, developing health
problems are detected much earlier, and it saves many
hospital visits.
CCE marketing director, Tom Andrews (phonetic),
says early intervention not only keeps the clients healthier,
it helps the program save money.
MR. ,ANDREWS: It's to our advantage and the
program's advantage to be as efficient with the dollars that
we have -- okay? +t's to our advantage to keep them out of
the hospital, because we have to pay for everything. If they
have to go to the hospital, we pay for it. If they go to the
nursing home, we pay for it. Okay? ~ort of like an HMO.
MS. ROWE: Andrews adds that clients are sent to
the hospital if the clinic can't take care of the problem,
but the money CCE saves in medical costs makes it possible to
run such a progra~.

A PARTICIPANT: People are becoming very much
aware, now, of what this kind of program offers, not only in
terms of saving money. Yes, we save money, but the bottom
line is, we help people stay independent, living at home,
okay, and meeting their needs. Their quality of life is a
lot better. They just don't feel like they're being shuffled
off someplace and forgotten.
MS. ROWE: And that's what attracts First Lady
Hillary Rodham Clinton to the program. She visited one of
Milwaukee's CCE centers on Saturday.
MRS. CLINTON: Everything
has been done somewhere, you know.
around America, we just haven't put
Wisconsin has really led the way in
program
in the President's plan
We've got good models
it all together, and
having these options
MS. ROWE: Perhaps what sold Mrs. Clinton on the
program's success was the cheery disposition found in so many
of the ·clients. Eighty-two year old Sophie tells her friend
Irene how she found out about Arthur. That's what she calls
arthritis.
A PARTICIPANT: I was starting to get a pain here
and a pain there, and I said, well, what is this pain? And
then the doctor told me that I've been· sleeping with Arthur
for a long time. But I didn't know. I said, oh, my gosh,
you mean to tell me that I've been in bed with Arthur, and I
didn't know it? But that's what it was.
