The objective of this prospective study is to document the impact of social service interventions (including meals, telephone reassurance, and friendly visiting)provided by the Burden Center, a model community social service agency, on overall quality of life.
Specific outcomes include mental and physical function as measured by the SF-36, and depressive symptoms as measured by the CES-D depression scale. The hypothesis is that a multicomponent social service intervention program that provides social support and reduces social isolation can prevent depression and decline in quality of life in this vulnerable population.
