System designs that can lead to isolation and oppression are listed below: o Culture o Education o Health Care o Housing o Internet Access o Public Space o Justice o Security o Transportation  Creating Socially Connected Communities: o Design, maintain and activate inclusive public spaces. o Prioritize connection in transportation systems. o Construct housing environments that build community. o Invest in inclusive practices and community led solutions. o Make social connectedness for the community.  Social Isolation and Loneliness is an issue at all age levels. The Office for Children’s Mental Health-Supported Adult Team are working on interventions that would support a variety of ages, creating an inter-generational support system.  Transportation barriers are a significant issue in rural areas that can lead to Social Isolation.  More Learning and Development of tools are needed to support residents who are at risk of Social Isolation and Loneliness.  Create a task force for isolation and loneliness.  Community Projects that are being used in other areas to help with Social Isolation and Loneliness: o Started an intervention on raising monarch butterflies (inter-generational), go into assisted living facilities and raise them and then release them. o Inter-generational activities – technology program, high school creates a curriculum and then goes through the program with their buddy. o Men’s Shed – varied ages of men together to build relationships. o Cycling without age. o Dane County – Latino Dance Days o Modern Elder Academy – Generations over dinner.

WAAN -Wisconsin Aging Advocacy Network Issues and Initiatives.  Invest in Aging & Disability Resource Centers  Promoting Elder Justice  Reducing Falls Among Older Adults in Wisconsin  Caring for Wisconsin Family Caregivers  Reinforce Nutrition Services for Homebound Seniors  Affordable, Accessible and Available Housing  Reliable, Accessible and Affordable Transportation  Protect the Right to Vote Home Delivered Meal Assessment Pilot (NAC)  Currently there is a two-page assessment for clients to fill out when going on Home Delivered Meals. This assessment does not give facilitators enough information to go from when looking to provide other resources to the clients.  The new improved assessment has additional questions that can be asked if the facilitator feels that more is going on with the individual that is not being communicated.  The Referral Summary is a resource that can be used once the assessment is complete. This resource can be used to document additional supports and resources the participant may need.  Participants will fall into one of 5 tiers that will indicate if the client is high risk and needs additional nutritional support.  Currently, all Home Delivered Meal participants receive 4 meals a week and High-Risk participants receive a supplemental food box and/or frozen soup.  Planning with partners for future food needs  Loneliness questions may be added back into the assessment. Novak stated that loneliness questions have some trickiness around them, and the facilitator will need to determine if it is the right moment to ask these questions to the participant.
