Are there indications in the case of collaborations between the Senior Center and other organizations in the community? What collaborations are needed?
Emelia coordinated a Meals on Wheels Program for the elderly, and supervised 10 volunteers who delivered the meals. One day, when Emelia filled in for a volunteer and delivered a meal to the Snyders, she found Mr. Snyder very agitated and worried because Mrs. Snyder was missing. Apparently she had wandered off before. Because it was cold outside and they lived two blocks from a busy street, Emelia was alarmed and struggled with how to respond to this unexpected situation. As she tried to prioritize her responsibilities, she began to wonder if her volunteers were communicating with her and if they were well-trained for their responsibilities.
Some kind of relationship with the medical facilities in the town or in a nearby population center with medical specialists was needed to provide comprehensive assessment for elders. A collaborative relationship with Adult Protective Services would be important for this agency. A relationship with the police or other emergency response unit may be needed to help locate a client who has wandered off. Familiarity with such community resources would make it easier for Emelia to think of options without waiting for her supervisor to provide guidance.
