Activity 2

Nutrition services : this area is comprised of the meal on wheels program and food pantry programs. The meals on wheels program delivers hot nutritious meals to homes of seniors who are unable to prepare meals for themselves. This program provides nutritional support along with social contact with caring members of our community. During this period 563 seniors were served a total of 47,395 meals. Volunteers provided 13,800 hours delivering meals and visiting seniors. The food pantry works closely with care and share and the federal food programs to provide food to low income seniors in our community. During 2012, silver key administered two federal food programs, the commodity supplemental food program (csfp) and the emergency food assistance program (tefap) as well as operated a food pantry to distribute emergency food and supplemental food to the federal programs recipients. The food pantry accommodates clients who have dietary restrictions. Seniors who are homebound receive their commodities through our home delivery services. These services are provided with compassion and respect, with sensitivity to allow for dignity and understanding to older individuals who must rely on others for their basic needs.

Activity 3

Care management services : this area is comprised of referrals and information, care management, and guardianship. The guardianship program assists seniors who are deemed to no longer be able to make decisions for themselves. During 2012, silver key was legal guardian for 58 individuals, and maintained a power of attorney for nine individuals. Silver key care managers oversee all aspects of these seniors health, housing, psychosocial and financial needs. This service is often provided through the remainder of their life. Most of these seniors are on medicaid and social security that pays for nursing home care, and there is no extra money to pay guardianship fees so silver key provides these services at no cost to these clients. No other agency in our community provides this service to these low income individuals. The care managers assist seniors in resolving issues related to medicaid enrollment and benefits, finding affordable housing, utilities assistance, and other health and welfare needs. During 2012, silver key care managers saw 1,299 seniors. Need based financial assistance was provided to 522 individuals. Without intervention, many of these seniors would be in shelters, hospitals, and costly nursing facilities. A total of 4,700 hours of service were donated in care management during this period.
