COUNTY SENIOR SERVICES
INTRODUCTION
The Senior Community Services program provides a variety of services to
the elderly residing in Nueces County. The program is augmented by an appro-
priation from the County's general revenue sharing fund. The County's contri-
bution ensures that the elderly residing outside the corporate limits of Corpus
Christi receive a full complement of services.
This proposal for continuation of funding is presented to the County for
a 12 -month period, March 1, 1980, through February 28, 1981. Senior Community
Services is responsible for the administration and management of the County
Senior Services Program.
PLAN FOR THE PROJECT
The purpose for thesefundsis to maintain the level of services which are
presently being delivered in Robstown, Banquete and Bishop areas and to improve
the quality of service to the elderly in this vicinity.
A. OBJECTIVES AND COMMENTS
1. Maintain the operation of a multi-purpose senior center in the
City of Robstown. The County will provide funds for the operation
of a building to be used as a senior center. The center is the
focal point for nutrition, transportation and social service
delivery.
2. Maintain a six -hour meal site in the City of Bishop. The Bishop
meal site provides nutrition and social services in a building
shared with the Community Action Agency. At this time the County
assists in payment of utilities and miscellaneous costs.
•
(The space occupied by the program at 301 West Main Street in
Bishop is inadequate in terms of space and building condition.
We were advised by the Community Action Agency in 1977 that
the building would be renovated and that the space now occupied
by our program would double in size. To date this has not
occurred. Program expansion, given the space problems, is not
possible.)
3. Banquete Meal Site was opened in February, 1979. The program
shares space with the Community Action Agency as it does in
Bishop. Banquete Meal Site is open one hour a day for the noon-
day meal.
4. Maintain and improve present services such as transportation,
outreach, referral and information, follow-up, recreation, nu-
trition, nutrition education and other social services in Robs -
town, Bishop and Banquete. This area has large numbers of low-
income elderly. The low income elderly persons are the target
