Changing Profile of the ESP Client - 2006
The client profile gives us a picture of an aging population living longer, displaying increased disabilities and
having a greater need for services. As health care costs continue to escalate, the Elderly Services Program
must be prepared to meet the growing needs of our older adult population.
• Average out-of-pocket medical costs per ESP client for 2006 were $191/per month. The average
monthly income per client was $1,530.
• More than half of ESP clients were 80 years or older. Their average age was 80.
• 86 percent of ESP clients had a severe disability, a 4 percent increase over last year.
• 25 percent of ESP clients contributed to the cost of their care.
• 64 percent of ESP clients lived alone.
• 181 ESP clients participated in Consumer Directed Care.
