How does the Meals on Wheels Program contribute to the mission of the agency?
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.
The mission of the agency is to enhance the well-being of seniors living within the city limits of Centerville. Meals on Wheels helps fulfill that mission for elders who are primarily house bound. The Case Management Program is another program intended to assist older people to stay in their own homes rather than be placed in a nursing home. Although the Meals on Wheels Program is not designated as part of the Case Management Program at the present time, it should be considered an important service helping elders stay in their own homes.
