The Elderly Care Center of Sisaket Municipality: Local Administrative Organization and Public Service under Collaboration Among Public and Private Sectors and Civil Society

Abstract

The article analyses the implementation of an elderly care center organized by the Sisaket Municipality. This project aims to support the growing population of older persons. It is also a response to the public demand to help the elderly and to develop mechanisms to establish a supportive network in various ways. The center succeeds in improving the elderly's health and quality of life. The center then becomes a prototype model to expand community care centers for the elderly to other areas and to increase the number of members at each center. Furthermore, the project's outcomes encourage seniors to participate in the social activities of the municipality, including co-driven policies and actions. The success conditions are the connections aligned with network partners collaborating and responding to the same targets. Furthermore, political stability leads to continuity in policy implementation and the expansion of the network and ongoing activities. Thus, this project is the best practice that can serve as an example for other local administrative organizations to integrate and cooperate with local segments to meet the needs of the people
