Eighteen women <br /> received sixty hours of trining. Class participants, clients receiving services, . <br /> and staff involved, in trsintng were mutually benefited. In addition the Depart- <br /> ment on Aging was invited to refer participants for the second project. <br /> 'There is frequent communication on clients who peed services; this may include <br /> someone who needs.more chore hours or someone who needs a new or different <br /> provider. Department on Aging has been very helpful in providiug free Title V <br /> home aides when that has been possible. We are sometimes able to supplement <br /> services of the other agency to give the client enough coverage that be/she can <br /> remain in his/her on home. <br /> . . Even though we sometimes share providers when that is feasible, we have not <br /> developed the master schedule board on all providers working with both agencies. <br /> We have not felt the necessity to have that master schedule because there has <br /> been a very helpful, free exchange of information and ideas. <br /> • <br /> Al]. other terms of the Chore-Homemaker Coordination Project Agreement are <br /> being met. Please refer to the attached agreement for further information. <br /> • <br />
