Senior respondents do not appear to make significant use of available senior services. The survey questions do <br />not identify the reasons for the minimal use of senior services available through RASP and other senior service <br />providers. Possible reasons include: <br />• Inadequate advertising of services and programs <br />• Redundancy of services and programs with new/other sources (e.g. local transportation provided by senior <br />residences; widely available blood pressure screenings and flu shots) <br />• Inconvenient scheduling of offerings <br />• Cost of offerings <br />• Transportation to site(s) (limited availability and distance, limitations on frequency of use) <br />• Quality of service(s) is inadequate or inappropriate for target populations <br />• Culturally-appropriate senior services are available through some mutual assistance associations and social <br />service agencies (e.g. Vietnamese Social Services, Hmong American Partnership, etc.). <br />• The majority of senior services and activities currently available are targeted to WWII and Korean War <br />seniors. These are of limited interest to younger seniors. <br />2. Reexamination of senior service offerings should be a priority issue for the City of Roseville, as its population <br />ages and given the 21% senior (>_65 years old) current population. Some questions to consider: <br />a. Primary services are currently offered through the ISD623 Roseville Area Senior Program. <br />i. Should senior services compete with K-12, early childhood education, and alternative education <br />for limited resources (physical, financial, and staff)? <br />ii. Do current staff have adequate training to accommodate the needs and expectations of younger <br />seniors? Seniors with increasing co-morbidities? Seniors and caregivers with behavioral health <br />needs and/or dementia? <br />b. What is the responsibility of the Roseville Parks & Recreation Dept. to offer live, certified exercise <br />programs and activities for heterogeneous senior populations? <br />c. What senior services are offered by the expanding assortment of senior living options in Roseville? How <br />do these interface with senior service use outside of individual living facilities? <br />
