NARRATIVE
SENIOR COMMUNITY SERVICES
TITLE III - SUPPORTIVE SERVICES
The Senior Community Services Program proposes to address the following
objectives in accordance with the proposed Area Agency on Aging's objectives
for Information and Referral and Outreach and other services prescribed by
Title III, Older Americans Act:
To maintain an information and referral service
To maintain outreach services
To ensure a variety of opportunities for older persons to receive
other services in senior centers and meal sites
To coordinate services and activities for older persons with other
agencies
To provide transportation and other supportive services to the
Title VII Program
The centers and meal sites provide the setting in which to accomplish these
objectives. The objectives are being met as part of the overall services
offered by Senior Community Services. The continuation of these services at
Lindale, Greenwood and Washington Centers and Zavala Meal Site will necessi-
tate funding from the Coastal Bend Council of Governments.
The centers and meal sites are located in neighborhoods with high concentra-
tions of elderly persons. The larger centers are open eight (8) hours, the
smaller meal sites are open four (4) hours. Services vary according to the
needs of the participants.
The centers and meal site to be supported by the grant serve the majority
of the Senior Community Services participants.. According to the certifica-
tion for the meal program at these locations, Lindale Center serves 173
participants, Greenwood serves 250, Washington serves 67 and Zavala serves 43,
totalling 533 elderly persons. Over the past year the following overall
daily level of services was provided at all centers:
Meals: 725
Escort/Outreach: 30/35 *
Telephone Reassurance: 9
Information and Referral: 46
Recreation: 492
Other than center and meal site staff and activities the grant will also sup-
port one (1) bus operator stationed in Robstown. Transportation in the areas
outlaying Corpus Christi is crucial to elderly residents of Robstown, Bishop,
Banquete, Agua Dulce and Driscoll.
The purpose of Senior Community Services is meeting the needs of the senior
citizen through the effective delivery of services offered by the program and
the coordination of services offered by other service providers in the County.
Through assistance from the grant the program will continue to gain an under-
standing of community resources and opportunities available to elderly resi-
dents.
* Does not include outreach done in
connection with the Title VII grant.
