Abstract

An experimental program of self-help, which encourages the participation of the elderly in the definition of their needs and in the implementation of new services to meet those needs, is based upon a community organization methodology and a unique form of cooperative sponsorship. Both the methodology and the structure of sponsorship have created problems for this innovative program. A constructive evaluation of the program by the body representative of the sponsoring agencies has suggested a need for a shift in programmatic emphasis and a streamlined structure of sponsorship that will maximize the responsibilities of the elderly for the program.
