s <br /> OUTREACH COORDINATOR'S REPORT <br /> April 2010 <br /> HOME VISITS/APPOINTMENTS <br /> Twenty-three were made this past month, in addition to client contact by phone call. <br /> I met with several family members inquiring about services for their loved ones with memory <br /> loss, recovering from a stroke, heart attack, etc. <br /> I met with several seniors experiencing financial problems,to refer them to the HOME <br /> counseling agency and assistance programs such as food stamps, fuel assistance, etc., and to <br /> encourage them to apply for senior housing. <br /> I continue to work with seniors who may be driving unsafely, to discuss RHCI's driver <br /> evaluation program, AARP's 55 alive program, etc. <br /> The fuel assistance season ended April 30, 2010. During the past season I and our three fuel <br /> assistance volunteers took approximately forty-five new applications, in addition to assisting <br /> others with the recertification process. <br /> VOLUNTEERS <br /> I continue to meet monthly with the telefriend, SHINE, friendly visitor assistant, grief support, <br /> birthday flower delivery, fuel assistance, and biography volunteers, to provide supervision and <br /> assign clients. <br /> Much of Judy Genge's and my work in April were spent planning the volunteer breakfast <br /> scheduled for May 20, 2010. <br /> We also met with new volunteer Kim Briggs, who agreed to work with other volunteers to <br /> spruce up our back yard. <br /> MEETINGS/CONTACTS <br /> I attended the monthly meeting of the town's human services council, the Upper Cape <br /> Consortium, and the Cape Outreach Coordinators. <br /> Finally, Jim Long, Judy Genge, and I met with Sophia Westgate of Community Connections, to <br /> discuss how their participants with disabilities could volunteer to assist Mashpee Seniors. We <br /> requested yard work assistance, and Sophia was optimistic they could meet this need. <br /> Respectfully Submitted, <br /> Lynne Waterman <br /> LFW/lcw <br /> I� <br />
