GRANTEE: Indian River Cnunty DELEGATE: Indian River Cnlinty roilnCil na aging, jn6. NAME OF PROGRAM: Servira rpnrdinbtiOne 1. Give a brief overview of the proposed program, identifying the unmet human service need that this program will address and the specific target group to be served (handicapped, elderly, low-income, etc.) This program will.coordinate all services offered by this agency so that the senior citizens will receive the requested service promptly - especially in the transportation/escort, home delivered meals, personal care, and home- maker areas. It will also provide information and referral. This program will eliminate any unnecessary waiting period between request for services and actual delivery and provide the senior with a sense of assurance that he/she is not forgotten. Qualified volunteers will be placed where there is a need. It will allow a trained staff person to assemble an overview of the complete situation regarding each senior requesting a service - utilizing the doctor and what ever agency could assist in services. All services listed are offered, however, to completely utilize our capa- bilities and allow for each senior served to fully benefit from services, the position is desperately needed to provide this assurance. This program will serve senior citizens 60 years and older - 16,000 plus county -wide population. Estimate serving approximately 1750 in the above mentioned hard core service areas. We find that complete service packages are not being provided due to lack of coordination. 2. Specify the number of unduplicated clients to be served and the number of services to be provided. (These figures must match the totals indicated on page 3 of 7, section C). Approximately 300 recipients will be receiving more than one service. 3. Indicate any other program in your agency or other agencies in the community which provide similar services. Explain how you will avoid duplication of services. This program will be coordinated with respite care, congregate meals, re- reation, telephone reassurnace, personal care, transportation/escort, home delivered meals and homemaker. Coordination will be made by staff person through volunteers and existing trained staff. On-going monitoring by trained staff will prevent duplication of services. Services will be coordinated with other Social Service Agencies throughout Indian River County. 4. Will these grant funds be used to match a federal or other grant? Yes _ No _y_ If yes, identify the type and amount.
