· Who will conduct the evaluation?
. Program director
· Who will receive the reports?

· How are you defining success for this program or project?
. If we meet our objectives for the first year, we will consider the new social services program to be successful. In the longer term, the Consortium defines success as a noticeable decrease in the number of frail elders leaving their homes for institutions.
At every three-month interval, the Program Coordinator will measure the new social services referral program’s progress toward meeting the three objectives identified in the goals and objectives section of this proposal. Data on each of the individuals needing social services referrals will be collected daily by the social workers and support staff. This data will indicate what referral was made, the reason for the referral, and what changes a one-week follow-up phone call after the referral indicated. Individuals at greatest risk for institutionalization will receive additional follow-up calls and personal visits by the social workers to ensure that the services needed are being provided. The number of individuals leaving a Meals on Wheels program will be tracked monthly to show how many were institutionalized and why.
Each funder of the social services referral program will receive quarterly reports during the first year of the project, as will board members, the executive director, and other interested individuals. If we meet our objectives for the first year, we will consider the new social services program to be successful. In the longer term, the Consortium defines success as a noticeable decrease in the number of frail elders leaving their homes for institutions.
