Homemaker Services program: provides disabled/low-income seniors routine housekeeping services.
75% clients in home annually.
During Q2 2024 one Homemaker Program staff member transfer to another program. However, one new employee was hired while another transitioned from part-time to full-time. This is expected to alleviate the waitlist currently in place.

1,500 veterans/families receiving secondary contacts from the Veterans Service Office.
The Veteran Services Office is achieving well above the target for Q1 2024. Volunteers were utilized to help address high call volumes and walk-ins and a work-based learner with A/D Works! also assisted.

Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office - provides mental health services to current inmates within the Arapahoe County detention system.
As we conclude Q2 of 2024 we saw trending data that continues to display a strong effort as it pertains to our mental health team at the Arapahoe County Detention Facility. Our Mental Health team contacted 3,869 patients per month throughout the quarter.
We continue to enjoy having a full team of Licensed Mental Health Professionals which certainly correlates to a better and more efficient delivery of services. This can likely be associated to increased availability by the Licensed Mental Health Professionals, but also due to increased acuity displayed by the inmate-patient population.
The delivery of quality Mental Health services is a priority to the Arapahoe County Detention Facility, and we will continue to evaluate best practices that will enhance the delivery of services to this high-risk patient population. While the use of tele-psychiatry is still an option, we do have two psychiatry providers that manage medications.
Within Q2, we also began solidifying our process to offer group therapy to the individuals experiencing incarceration at the Arapahoe County Detention Facility. We are hoping that this effort will prove beneficial as the goal of the group therapy is to focus on enhancing coping mechanisms which will lead to a healthier incarceration but will also assist in preparing for adversity post-release. The group therapy is being offered by our behavioral health manager and a community partner twice a week.
