Deliveries

As of May 15th, users who are “External” to the Office on Aging are no longer able to request box fan deliveries. Case Managers (i.e. “Internal” users) are the only ones capable of submitting delivery requests.

When an External user selects “Delivery” for Delivery Method, they receive text that instructs them to call the Office on Aging to confirm that they are homebound. A Case Manager will then submit a delivery request on the Senior’s behalf using the Internal form.

Status

The Status column should be updated by Support Services to reflect the current Status of the request. There are 5 possible statuses, detailed below:

titleMore information about the request statuses
image-20240424-172423.png

A request can be added to the SharePoint List with the Pickup or Delivery Status. It should remain in this Status until its scheduled Pickup Date/Time or Delivery Date. Afterwards, it should be updated by a Support Services Team member to either Complete or Incomplete if the box fan was not received by the requestor.

  • If a request is marked as Incomplete, an FCOA employee should contact the requestor to schedule a new pickup time or delivery date, updating the request in the SharePoint List accordingly

  • If it is decided that a request will not be fulfilled (the requestor no longer needs their box fan, does not live in Franklin County, is younger than 60, cannot be found, etc.), then the Status should be updated to Cancelled
