enhance the well-being of groups and individuals as well as
the system of social service delivery.

8. INTERAGENCY COOPERATION

Orphanage care centers
This type of out-of-home care is for
orphans, or for children whose
parents cannot or will not look after
them. Orphaned, abandoned or
high risk young people may live in
small self-contained units
established as home environments.
Geriatric care centers
Various forms of long-term
residential care are available for
elderly people. A person or couple
who are not able to take care of
their daily needs may choose to live
in a retirement apartment complex
Rehabilitation centers
People who are addicted to
drugs or alcohol may be
voluntarily or involuntarily
admitted to a residential facility
for treatment.
These listed private agencies cooperate with this centers to ensure that the
public welfare of individuals in the community are meant and they wouldn’t
be subjected to unattended to.

9. PROGRAMS AND FACILITIES
 Non-institutional Care. Non- institutional care in the community
of Quechua is usually given by non-licensed professionals. In
some cases the assistance of professionals, like nurses is needed.
Non-institutional care are likely to be home care, adult day care
and hospice care. Meanwhile the patient may not always have
constant care like in an institutional facility, they have the
convenience of being in the comfort and security of their own
homes.
 One benefit from non-institutional care is that in most
instances it is much more affordable than institutional care. This
is mainly because non-institutional care has workers who are not
licensed, unlike institutional care, therefore making it less costly.

10. PROGRAMS AND FACILITIES
 Institutional Care
 Institutional care is particularly intended for those who need constant
care and assistance with day to day activities with institutional care
facilities like nursing home care, assisted living care, sub-acute care
and housing services. Elderly and disabled are able to interact
together while also having twenty-four hour care to daily necessities
by professionals, this provides patients with a sense of security.
 Institutional and non-institutional care are both very different types of
cares but both with the same goal, as long term care develops both
institutional and non-institutional care will see much change and
improvement.

11. CONCLUSION
Quechua community with her population, undermining the
measures placed by the government agencies still the basic
needs of individual in the grass root level such as public and
social services are still yet to be attended to.
The government need to administer special assistance programs
with the aid to strengthen and empower both abled and
disabled individuals in the community together with families
with dependent children.
