<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Ill. PROGRAM/PROJECT DESCRIPTION-DETAIL <br /> In the space below, describe the program/project. Include information as to how the program/project will benefit <br /> low-income people/households, max. char. 2000 <br /> The Senior Health and Nutrition Program is a two-pronged approach to alleviate poor nutrition and Isolation among the <br /> vulnerable 62+ population in Santa Ana by providing healthy meals Monday through Friday and by connecting seniors to <br /> other services they may be in need of. The purpose of the program is to improve the quality of life for older adults and <br /> their families by creating a safety net of health, nutrition, and supportive services designed to enhance their <br /> independence, well being, and dignity. <br /> The Senior Center Lunch Program component provides a focal point for seniors where they can come together in a <br /> supportive environment for well-balanced noon meals, The senior center envirfonment offers a comfortable, accessible <br /> link to other services and activities that keep the seniors active and fit. The Senior Center Lunch Program also alleviates <br /> poor nutrition among low-Income elderly, reduces social isolation, and provides a hot nutritious lunch in a safe and <br /> friendly environment. This component is offered at three sites, including Santa Ana Senior Center, Southwest Senior <br /> Center and Vietnamese Community Center, all of which are located in Santa Ana. <br /> The Home Delivery Meals component provides basic food and nutrition for seniors who are frail, isolated, and or <br /> homebound. This component includes home delivered meals, case management, in-home services (personal care, <br /> homemaking, and chores), home safety checks, a friendly visitor program, daily contact with meal delivery program <br /> personnel, and other services as needed. Participants receive 2 meals per day, 6 days per week and are assigned a <br /> case manager to help coordiante their care and meet their needs. <br /> <br /> <br /> IV. STATEMENT OF NEED <br /> In the space below, describe why this program/project is needed. Include Information as to any effects if GDBG <br /> funds are not awarded and whether similar program s/ ro'ects are available in the community. max. char. 2000 <br /> The senior citizen population in Santa Ana is predominatly low-income and greatly underserved. The Senior Health and <br /> Nutrition Program meets the need for a healthy and nutritious meal on a daily basis in a safe and social environment for <br /> the senior population in the city. Without this program, over 1300 low-income senior citizens and close to 300 frail or <br /> home bound senior citizens wlll be at risk of a diminished quality of life, endangering their health and isolating them from <br /> their peers and families. There are no other similar programs in the City of Santa Ana that would be able to meet this <br /> need. Seniors would need to travel to neighboring cities and may not qualify to receive this service from other cities <br /> because of residency requirements by similar programs. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 3 <br /> <br /> 75B-58 <br />
