SECTION G -- HUMAN SERVICES
AGING AND DISABILITY SERVICES

AGING AND DISABILITY SERVICES DIVISIONAL MANAGEMENT

PROGRAM MISSION: To provide leadership and management to divisional programs that assist seniors and persons with disabilities to remain safely and as independently as possible in the least restrictive setting.

The Division provides support services to enable adults to remain in and be an integral part of the community, and to prevent unnecessary or premature institutional placements. Services focus on elderly persons, persons with physical or developmental disabilities, and persons with mental retardation who are at greatest risk of institutional placement. The community education, health promotion, advocacy, and legal compliance activities also benefit seniors and persons with disabilities who are able to be self-sufficient in the community.

This Division serves as the liaison for the Department of Human Services with the Virginia Department for the Aging, which provides funding for a variety of programs within the Agency on Aging. In addition, the Division receives funding through the Virginia Department of Social Services (VDSS), and thus works closely with administrative staff in the Child and Family Services Division to ensure compliance with all federal and state funding requirements. There also is a close working relationship with the Arlington Community Services Board, and staff in the Behavioral Healthcare Division and the Public Health Division to coordinate on protocols and other matters of mutual interest that pertain to Senior Adult Mental Health Services, Mental Retardation/Developmental Disabilities Services, and Nursing Case Management Services.

Agency on Aging, Office for Persons with Physical Disabilities, and Nursing Case Management staff within this Division support three County-Board appointed citizen advisory commissions: Commission on Aging, Disability Advisory Commission and the Health Center Commission. Staff support is also provided to the Mental Retardation/Developmental Disabilities Committee of the Community Service Board. The collaborative working relationships between the advisory groups and the Division enable Divisional programs to fulfill their roles of facilitator, problem identifier and catalyst for community action for this population group.

The following chart provides a summary of the budget for the Aging and Disability Services Division. Expenditures are shown by program.
