Today I started my research for Senior Center locations in Santa Fe. I formed a List of the locations then I wrote a script/ guide. Once I did that I called and talked to all the locations I found to find out if volunteers are allowed. Out of seven locations three said they are not allowing volunteers, Three said they were not sure and I would get a call back, and one said yes I have the green light to go in but they don't know where I would be placed and if the dance project was possible.  I started at 8:42am and ended at 11:08am.

I met with Patty and she told me to look at community centers instead of residential centers but when I was researching I found that community centers are used more for little kids programs or event, no so much elders anymore. I started at 11:11 and stopped at 12:09. I continued again at 12:54 and again did not find anything I thought was relevant to my research so I stopped at 1:32.

I started my written form for my first draft of my senior project. I'm starting with my introduction. I started at 1:32 and stopped at 2:01. I started some organization work and placed everything in a folder in my google drive named "Grecia's Senior Project 2021-2022" then I got a call back to from El Castillo to  contact Santana for more information but I got no answer so I left a message and by this time it was 2:21.

From 2:29 -3:00 I met with patty to talk about different questions I could ask in my interviews tomorrow at the Pacifica senior center.

Today I went to Pacifica Senior Living in Santa Fe. It is 52 minutes away from my house so I left at 11:00am and got there at 12:13 because of traffic. I went in and the people were very nice. I introduced myself and the guy at the front desk remembered me from my call. Then he introduced me to one of the directors and I sat down with him to talk about what I was interested in doing and I explained to him why I wanted to volunteer. I explained that I was a senior at Camino de Paz and I had chosen to volunteer as part of my senior project. I also explained that I wanted to do the dance project and he said he would talk to the activities director to see if there were any proto calls that I had to follow. I gave him my information and he said he would give me a call once he has more information for me. I left at 1:26pm.

Once I got back to my house I did some more research and I found another senior center called Vista Living Care, which is specifically for seniors with dementia. I am planning on contacting them tomorrow and maybe paying them a visit.

Today I spend the morning researching a new place in Santa Fe called Vista Living Care. Here they take care of specifically seniors with dementia. I spent from 7:58- 8:32 reading and trying to contact them. They sadly did not answer but I left a message and my number and I plan on calling again.

At 8:34 I had a phone call with patty to discuss what I had done yesterday and we both agreed that it would be helpful to me to get a mentor. A professional that could help guide me and point me in different directions. The call lasted 4 minutes.

I got a call back from Pacifica, he said I could volunteer and he asked about my availability. We decided the days that would work best would be Mondays and Tuesdays. I would go from 1-3pm on Mondays and from 3:30-4:30 on Tuesdays. He mentioned that the dance project might not be possible because a lot of the residents don't come out of their room but there are a lot of other activities I could do like book reading and such. our phone call was from 9:09-9:46. I am put on the schedule for Sep: 20. 21, 27, 28.
I plan on going in the first day and just introducing myself and getting to know everyone before I start talking about the project.
