Outreach
The term outreach applies to a service delivery model that aims
to improve accessibility of services to seniors. Outreach
workers offer services to the client in the home, at the center
or in the community as needed.
Outreach is an effort to link people in need to appropriate
community resources. Outreach takes the services of information
and referral into the community. The goal of outreach is to identify
persons in need and link them to available community resources
because individuals are often unaware of services that exist
in the
community.
Outreach Services core functions are: assessment, information
and referral, completion of forms, supportive counseling, issue
management, monitoring and following-up their continued well-being.
Outreach workers engage in community development and provide
education workshops in topics like sleep therapy, arthritis
management, and incontinence.
