Provide clients served the opportunity to evaluate the program through a survey of <br /> which at least 70% of clients surveyed will express an increased knowledge of <br /> entitlement programs, the legal process, and/or individual rights. <br /> <br /> After evaluating the legal services component for the October 1, 2007- <br /> September 30, 2011 Area Plan on Aging, it was decided to include an <br /> additional measurement for legal services to measure the percentage of <br /> clients linked to needed services. The annual survey will be conducted by <br /> June 2008. <br /> <br /> 4. Public Education. <br /> Provide the general public with a monthly publication which provides information <br /> about services and benefits available to older individuals and their caregivers. <br /> Program effectiveness will be measured through a survey of readers of which at least <br /> 80% respondents will indicate that the publication provided them with meaningful <br /> and useful information. <br /> <br /> On January 15, 2008 in conjunction with UH Hilo's Social Work Department, <br /> HCOA took on an intern for a 5 month internship. She will be assisting HCOA <br /> in evaluating an assortment of services and will be surveying a random sample <br /> of Silver Bulletin readers for satisfaction and usefulness of the publication. This <br /> survey will be completed by May 2008. <br /> 5. Transportation. <br /> Provide nutrition participants served the opportunity to evaluate the program through <br /> a survey of which at least 70% of nutrition participants surveyed who are transported <br /> to a congregate meal site three to five days per week will maintain or improve their <br /> nutritional risk assessment survey scores. <br /> <br /> The Nutritional Risk Assessment is conducted once a year for every nutrition <br /> participant during late January and early February. Hence, post 1-yr <br /> participation scores are not yet available to compare with the scores gathered at <br /> the beginning of 2007. However, statistical data generated from HCOA's SAMS <br /> elderly database showed that of those 244 clients who were assessed as non- <br /> nutritional risk during the first quarter of this program year, none were <br /> identified as high nutritional risk at the end of December 2007. This means that <br /> 244 clients were able to maintain their status as a non-nutritional risk during the <br /> six month period of this program year. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Six Month Progress Report on Program Objectives for FY 2007-08 6 <br />
