The organization
Red Cross society group
Red Cross society group is a non-governmental organization based in the eastern part of
Australia which was founded by the members of that particular area to help in cases of
emergency as they are disadvantaged in receiving government support in case of emergencies
like floods and drought which has led to the loss of many lives.
The main mission for the Red Cross society is to ensure better living standards and better
health of the people living in the eastern part of Australia since they are neglected by the
government in terms of the social facilities like the health care centers, schools and security. Due
to poor health care facilities in the area, members of the community have been working together
with the well-wishers in building and improving the existing health care facilities in the regions
to ensure a healthy community.
The organization with the conjunction of world health organization has formulated various
strategies in ensuring that the disadvantaged members of the community that is the aged,
disabled and sick are taken care of in terms of food, clothing and shelters which are the basic
needs for a healthy living thus following their poor financial status as most members of the
society cannot afford basic needs for the households. (Barikdar, Ahmed and Lasker, 2016, pg.
30).
The social isolation of the elderly members of the society and the logic model outlined in
this document addresses some of the proposed program by the administration body of the Red
Cross Society in ensuring healthy living and protecting lives of the aged members of the society
due to the isolation by their families and the government as a whole in terms of medication, basic
needs and love.

The program
Caring for socially isolated elderly people
The Red Cross Society in partnership with the world health organization has proposed a
program for caring for the isolated elderly people in the society which is one of their mission
statement. The organization has taken the responsibility of taking care of the isolate elderly
within the society by their families and the community as a whole thus following the increasing
cases of the death and suffering elderly people are going through as they cannot manage to afford
basic needs like food for survival. Most of them are dying due to starvation and poor hygiene
around them. (Taylor, Coall, Marquis and Batten, 2016, pg. 950).
The program entails providing basic needs to the elderly people within the society like
shelter, food and clothing. Apart from the basic needs, the organization will also look into their
healthy being by incurring the medication cost on their behalf as they cannot afford to pay for
their medical bills. This will ensure better and healthy living of the elderly people within the
society thus curbing the rising death cases due to lack of care and basic needs. (Riordan, et al.,
2017, pg. 1530).
