Title
Evaluation of Community Services for English-speaking Seniors in Gaspé-Magdalen Islands
Abstract
This evaluation was undertaken by request of all three organizations. It follows an earlier evaluation completed in 2013 covering a smaller number of activities, by the same author. The evaluation was designed to take into account a) information on the wellness sessions (content, attendance, frequency, etc.); b) the perspectives of seniors; and c) the perspectives of the facilitators (workers). The following sources of information were used: a) attendance records; b) an online survey filled out in January-March 2019 by 141 seniors; and c) interviews conducted by the author, virtually, in February 2019 with seven facilitators and outreach workers.
