Zhuang asks about Meals on Wheels partnership for outreach
Zhuang asks whether DFTA partners with Meals on Wheels to deliver SCRIE information during meal deliveries, and Murray explains case management agencies handle home visits and applications, while home-delivered meals can also disseminate information.
Do you guys able to partner, say, meal on wheel when they're doing deliver the meal and give them the information and then help them to fill out the application there or they have to?
Do some where else?
Yeah, typically the case management agency is responsible for helping with getting the application.
Home visits is a part of that, following up on applications where they have the authorization to complete those applications with the client.
And, of course, if one of the channels, if we need to make sure that we, through our home-delivered meals program, are disseminating information, that is also a channel.
But our case management agencies are direct contact with the individuals who are homebound and are making sure that they're screening for and supporting applications.
