CASE STUDY ON COMMUNITY CARE FOR THE AGED AND ITS NETWORK OF\u00a0AGENCIES<\/div>\n
\n
Background information\u00a0Situated in Woodlands, Community Care for the Aged (CCA) is a non-profit charitable<\/div>\n
organisation that was set up in the late 1980s as a residential home with a total of 100 beds,offering residential care for the aged sick and destitute.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
CCA provides mainly shelter for the aged sick, especially those who are weak, poor\u00a0and\u00a0alone, unable to take care of their own daily needs. The services in the home\u00a0cater only for\u00a0basic daily needs\u00a0. They\u00a0do not cater for acute cases and those who require more specialized\u00a0medical services and facilities.\u00a0In early 2014, the home had a change in management and became a part of a network of\u00a0agencies with the following mission and vision:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
Mission:<\/div>\n
\u201cTo engage seniors and promote active aging to empower lives and strengthen communities\u201d<\/div>\n
Vision:<\/div>\n
\u201cTo be a leader in eldercare service, optimizing the opportunities in longevity by leading\u00a0transformations and implementing innovation in community\u00a0-based eldercare\u201d<\/div>\n
\n
The programmes and initiatives offered by the other agencies in this network are focused on\u00a0seniors in the wider community, enabling\u00a0the outreach to seniors to increase under the\u00a0management of this network of agencies.<\/div>\n
\n
The programmes offered by the other agencies within the network include:<\/div>\n
1) Training and education programmes for seniors by Golden Age Training Institute<\/div>\n
2) Community<\/div>\n
engagement activities for seniors by Golden Age Community Outreach Centre<\/div>\n
3) Research and advocacy to influence practices and policies by Knowledge Building Centre<\/div>\n
\n
Golden Age Training Institute offers training and lifelong learning to seniors in the\u00a0community, while Golden Age Community Outreach Centre provides them with\u00a0opportunities to volunteer and serve the community with their newly<\/div>\n
-attained skills and\u00a0knowledge, talent and experience. Programmes for the seniors to serve include mentoring<\/div>\n
youths, counselling and coaching seniors and youths, as well as training in social media.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
Through research, dialogues and eldercare\u00a0–\u00a0related conferences, Knowledge Building Centre\u00a0seeks to initiate mindset and systemic change and\u00a0provide information about\u00a0innovative\u00a0community\u00a0–\u00a0based eldercare practices.<\/div>\n
\n
Current situation<\/div>\n
The volunteer resource management approach in CCA compared to that of the other three\u00a0agencies under this network is vastly different. Volunteer engagement in CCA is almost non\u00a0–\u00a0existent. There is no\u00a0volunteer manager and staff are expected to manage volunteers on top of\u00a0being overloaded with numerous other duties which the management considers much more<\/div>\n
critical to get done. In fact, staff are against the idea of engaging volunteers as they find\u00a0volunteers unreliable and bothersome, a hindrance to their daily work.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Golden Age Training Institute and Knowledge Building Centre engage mainly skilled\u00a0volunteers, while the seniors in Golden Age Community Outreach Centre are volunteers\u00a0themselves, actively\u00a0engaged with the community, promoting positive aging.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
Assumptions<\/div>\n
Under the new management, although the CCA staff remain motivated in their core duties to\u00a0serve the aged sick and destitute in the home, they are nonetheless sceptical about engaging\u00a0volunteers. The new management in CCA and network of agencies are highly in favour of\u00a0volunteer engagement, community outreach, and are extremely open to collaboration and<\/div>\n
partnerships with internal and external stakeholders.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Assignment<\/div>\n
Following a grant from the government under the Alternative Manpower Optimisation\u00a0Initiative which promotes the systematic absorption of volunteers into Voluntary Welfare\u00a0Organisations to augment professional positions and manpower shortage within the sector,\u00a0you are employe\u00a0d as a volunteer manager in CCA. Your task is to develop volunteer\u00a0engagement in CCA, and to coordinate and consolidate the overall volunteer resource\u00a0management for the four agencies.<\/div>\n

\n

<\/div>\n
\n
Elaborate on the possible synergies and collaboration among the four agencies and\u00a0any other external stakeholders for volunteer resource\u00a0management. (25marks)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

appropriate.\u00a0(25marks<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

implementation plan\u00a0(s)\u00a0with sound reasoning and explanation.<\/div>\n
3.\u00a0You should support and validate your ideas and suggestions with findings from the\u00a0various volunteerism surveys and trends, as well as the use of technological tools.<\/div>\n
