Mission

Mission Statement
To create a community of members, volunteers and services to provide participating seniors the help and information they need to successfully age in place.

Notes from the nonprofit

Capital City Village is an Austin-based nonprofit dedicated to helping seniors stay in their homes and communities for as long as possible, a concept called aging in place and community. We achieve this mission through volunteers, providers and programs.

Member Services
The benefits of membership to Capital City Village include VOLUNTEERS, PROVIDERS AND PROGRAMS. CCV Volunteers are ready to help with transportation, errands and companionship; CCV Providers are ready to help with professional projects and services like roofing, plumbing and home healthcare–all licensed professionals who often offer discounts to CCV Members; and CCV Programs which are free or low-cost and designed to keep members connected to all Austin has to offer, from educational to cultural to healthy outings and events.

The Virtual Village and Aging in Place and Community
The members and volunteers of Capital City Village, a “virtual” village, have joined together in pursuit of a common goal – to live and comfortably in our own homes and communities while remaining healthy and active. We are building a community of helpers who aren’t necessarily your friends or relatives, whom you don’t mind calling because they are your fellow members and you’re not “putting them out.”

Why Join?
For each member, the needs are different. Some have joined to help others, and to ensure that this village will be here when they need it. Others have joined because of an immediate need for services or healthy activities. Many have joined for the social interaction that comes with coffees, cultural activities and educational programs. Read the full list of membership levels and benefits here.

Planning Ahead
Whatever you need to live independently, Capital City Village is here for you. Give your children and relatives peace of mind and join today, even if you “don’t need it yet.” Think of it as an insurance policy for your future, even if that future comes suddenly, in the form of a broken arm or unforeseen surgery. CCV will be here to drive you to the grocery store or doctor’s appointment when you can’t do it yourself. Even if you just need someone to talk to, we are here for you.

Village Connections

Village Connections evolved from a model pioneered by the Capitol Hill Village in Washington, D.C. It is designed to meet the needs of our highest needs members, those that are often facing a major ongoing health issue, disability or temporary crisis. The program is launching with 12 members, and its primary goals are to:
o identify the direct services these members need (those that can be met by CCV and those that may require the resources of other agencies);
o provide one-on-one volunteer to member connection on a regular basis to combat isolation;
o provide guidance and tools so members can remain in control of their own lives.

We project that Village Connections will make a significant impact on our members’ lives, supporting our mission to assist seniors successfully age in place and community. We will track results based on program attendance, services received as noted by members and through our in-house tracking system.

The program will begin with implementation of home assessments for each client. Assessments will include a measurement tool designed to track changes over the course of the program. Sample questions include:
1) How long do you feel you will be able to stay at home?
2) How many CCV programs do you attend?
3) What barriers prevent you from attending programs?
4) What medical conditions affect your daily life?
5) What village services do you currently use?
6) What outside services do you use from any other agency, business or government provider?
7) Is service linkage required and if so, what types of services are needed?
Quantitative:
We measure the change to our members by their connection to volunteers and the goal for this is at least a weekly contact. We anticipate:
o program attendance by these members will be increased by two instances;
o service requests from members will occur in a more timely and ongoing fashion and this will be measured by calls and emails received and tracked in our database;
o high renewal rate (barring death or change in status) of these members at over 85%;
o high level of volunteer retention of the volunteers involved;
o and fewer hospital readmissions (as reported by members).

Qualitative:
With personal follow up conducted by staff to each member, we assess member satisfaction on an ongoing basis. We anticipate that Volunteer Connection members will identify that they feel more engaged and connected to the Village. We expect this program to increase the number of years members are able to remain at home and we believe members will gain a sense of control over their schedules and lives.

As this is a new program, based on an existing model, we plan to adopt the Capitol Hill Village’s report on the results of their six-month pilot period for our program goals.

While we recognize that not every member will be able to stay at home, we count as success any additional amount of time they are able to do, so as a result of membership.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

To serve as many seniors as possible, especially underserved and economically disadvantaged seniors
To reach all of Austin
To increase our volunteer base in line with our member base
To increase our Amplify Austin donors and first-time donors
To increase our events and offerings in quality and quantity
To find innovative solutions to the Austin transportation problem and how it affects seniors

We send regular press releases; work hard to increase our SEO for our website and social media; conduct regular open houses around Austin to acquaint Austinites with CCV; we hold regular volunteer orientations to effectively train volunteers; we partner with other community organizations and for profit businesses to assist in referrals and provide service; we are working with the City to work on transportation solutions.

Our board, committees, staff and volunteers all offer major capabilities, skills and services and have years of experience in volunteer management, working with seniors, delivering programs and providing direct services.

We are netting 2 members per month (our goal); along with generally 4-5 volunteers per month; we have already reached 72 member service requests for just the first half of the year (compared to 62 for all of last year); and our contacts have almost doubled for the year compared to last year. We are serving more people than ever.
