Dear Friends:

This annual report marks thirty-eight years of service to the communities of Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket. As we look back over the past year, we take great pride in our efforts to provide quality services and programs responsive to the diverse needs of our community of elders, caregivers and those seeking employment and volunteer opportunities. We are privileged to make a difference in this significant way.

As we move forward into a new year with the financial uncertainty, there will be challenges to face. Yet, we remain optimistic in our abilities, in collaboration with our community partners, to continue to advocate for our consumers and offer them a choice of vital services and programs which promote their independence. We remain loyal to our mission to be the central source of information and services, enabling elders to enhance their quality of life and to maintain the dignity of our older citizens.

We would like to extend our gratitude to all of you who contributed to the success of the Agency. To the Board of Directors and Advisory Councils, we thank you for your leadership, support and time. To the staff, we respect and value your competence and compassion. To the volunteers, we appreciate your energy and commitment. To our state and federal legislative delegation, funding sources, donors and community colleagues, we are grateful for your continued support and collaboration.

All the best,

Paula George Leslie E. Scheer President Executive Director

information & referral

Our I & R Department is a central source of information on all services available to older adults on Cape Cod and the Islands as well as the entry point for referrals to Elder Services many programs. Anyone may call us at 800-244-4630 or visit our website at www.escci.org

home care Program

Through our Home Care Program, services are provided that will help an elder to remain safely in the community. Care Managers will assess the needs of a consumer, develop a service plan, and arrange for supports. Family caregivers can access respite care. To qualify, individuals must be sixty or older, meet financial eligibility guidelines, and have specific unmet care needs.

senior nutrition Program

Elders on Cape Cod and the Islands have two options for addressing their nutritional needs. Senior Dining Centers are located at sixteen sites throughout the Cape and Islands. Anyone sixty or older may come to a site and enjoy a noontime meal. If an elder is unable to go to a meal site, they can receive Meals- on-Wheels. MOWs are available in every town for any elder who is

Henry and Elizabeth live in a home they have owned for over fifty-five years. They have always been active and involved in their community. However, now they are facing their biggest challenge with the onset of medical problems. It has always been their wish to remain in the home they love and be as independent as possible. Because of our Home Care Program, which is providing in-home help with housekeeping, personal care and grocery shopping, they are able to do just that.

homebound and can not prepare a meal on their own. Home delivered meals are available seven days a week.

Long term care screening

Individuals seeking Medicaid funding for nursing home care or adult day health programs must be screened by our Health Services Unit. Registered nurses will assess an individual’s health and functional abilities in order to determine medical eligibility for Medicaid reimbursement. Additionally, the HSU will seek to identify appropriate, affordable alternatives to nursing home placement.

Protective services

Help is available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week for anyone over the age of sixty who has been abused, neglected, financially exploited, or is at risk of harm due to self-neglect. Our Protective Services Unit is designated by the state to investigate allegations of mistreatment and offer

assistance to prevent further abuse if it is proven that an elder has been harmed. Caseworkers will also assess the situation of elders who are no longer able to live safely in the community because they are unable or unwilling to take care of themselves.

family caregiver support Program

A caregiver’s responsibilities can often be overwhelming and exhausting. Our Family Caregiver Support Program can provide the education, advocacy, and connections to the community resources that will enable the caregiver to better care for their loved ones as well as themselves. In-home and telephone assessments help to determine the caregiver’s needs and the appropriate services to be recommended.

nelson congregate house

Congregate housing offers an affordable and supportive shared living arrangement for elders as an alternative to premature nursing or rest home placement. An on-site coordinator helps to arrange needed services. To be eligible, an adult must be sixty or older, qualify for public housing, and be physically able to live on their own.

At age 78, Michael never thought he would find himself in the situation he was when a Protective Services Worker knocked on the door of his daughter and son-in-law’s house. Unable to live alone due to complications from medical problems, he decided to sell his home in another state and move in with them when the offer was made. He was happy to contribute towards the household expenses and pay for extra care he needed during the day when he thought his family was off at work. However, that help was sporadic as the family work was gambling and the office was a casino a few hours away. Michael was left alone for hours at a time, sometimes days, without adequate care, food and his needed medications. Fortunately, a neighbor intervened. Michael was initially reticent to admit there were any problems as he believed he had no other place to go. With our help, he is now enjoying his life and receiving the proper care in another housing setting.

Janet believed that she was the ONLY one who could adequately care for her disabled husband. But with the assistance of the Family Caregiver Support Program which arranged for personal care service she, as she expressed in a letter to the program, has discovered a whole new world! Now as the attendant readies her husband for the day, Janet prepares a leisurely breakfast (something that she was always too tired to do before) and she and her husband “actually sit down together while enjoying the time, the food, and each other”. While this may seem a little thing to most, it has allowed Janet to reconnect with her husband in a way she will remember forever.

options counseling

Our Options Counselors provide a short-term decision-support process to assist consumers of any income (elders age 60 and older, or individu-als over the age of 18 with any disability) and their family members, caregivers and/or signifi-cant others in making an informed choice about long term services, supports, and setting. The Options Counselor looks to identify the goal of the consumer; to transition out of the nursing home back into the community, to remain in the commu-nity with services, or to seek nursing home place-ment. The Options Counselor provides unbiased information about long term services and supports, the resources available to pay for the services, and will assist in facilitating referrals and resources as needed.

community grants

As the Area Agency on Aging for our three county area, we have the responsibility to identify the needs and concerns of all adults aged sixty and older. One of the ways that we address their priorities is through the awarding of Older Americans Act funds to local, not-for-profit community groups capable of providing needed services. Current grants support such programs as outreach, legal services, and transportation.

Long term care ombudsman Program

Residents of nursing and rest homes on Cape Cod and the Islands can depend on the Ombudsman Program to protect their rights and ensure good care. Ombudsmen are trained and certified advocates with the authority to make weekly unannounced visits to facilities to monitor the condition of the home and meet with residents to discuss any concerns they might have about the quality of their care. The Ombudsman Program is a central source of information for residents, family members and the community wanting to learn more about long term care issues.

Mature Workers Program

This “bridge back to work” provides training and part-time employment to individuals fifty-five and older who meet income eligibility guidelines. Participants are placed as on-the-job trainees in governmental and not-for-profit organizations and are paid a wage by the program while they learn new job skills. With on-going support and education, participants can gain the confidence and experience that will enable them to seek unsubsidized employment.

One of our Title III grants supports the Audible Local Ledger, the only radio reading network dedicated to the visually impaired and print disabled residents of the Cape and Islands. Specially tuned radio receivers are placed in the homes of clients and turn “print into sound” providing 24/7 access to newspapers, periodicals, grocery flyers, best selling books and much more. One ninety year old woman who recently received a radio was so delighted that she called ALL to say that she was amazed to “hear” the Cape Cod Times at 10:00AM!

A resident of a long term care facility, no longer eligible for nursing home care, was worried and uncertain about her future. She asked the Ombudsman for help. The Ombudsman provided her with information about housing options including assisted living and congregate housing and in-home services such as Meals-on-Wheels. The Ombudsman continued to visit with the resident and advocate for her until her questions and concerns were answered and she was comfortable making the transition to a home in the community.

Our Mature Worker Program participants are often faced with challenging personal situations which make finding a job difficult. One of the participants had spent many years caring for her disabled husband and three grandchildren. When she was able to go back to work, she found that her years of unemployment and lack of a high school diploma left many doors closed to her. With the assistance of the Mature Worker Program she was able to get on the job training at an Elder Services Nutrition site and take classes to obtain her GED while earning a wage. She has renewed confidence in her ability to find unsubsidized employment and hopes to someday soon work in the health and human services field.

Money Management Program

Money Managers assist income-eligible adults, aged sixty and older who may be at risk of losing their independence due to their failure to pay rent, utility, or other basic bills on time. Volunteers, trained and certified, meet with consumers in their homes to help them balance their checkbooks, pay bills, and manage their money wisely.

senior service corps

The Senior Service Corps is a part of the Corporation for National and Community Service. It is composed of volunteers, aged fifty-five and older, who serve the community by participating in service activities that address serious local needs. Volunteers focus on three key areas: Senior Environment Corp (SEC) members are engaged in environmental monitoring, protection and education. Adults Benefiting Children (ABC) participate in coaching and mentoring projects as well as activities that provide warm clothing for children. Friends and Neighbors (FANS) help to keep elders at home longer by driving an elder to a medical appointment, delivering Meals-on-Wheels, or offering such services as respite and companionship.

volunteer resource center

The Volunteer Resource Center acts as a central organizing point for linking volunteers to the needs of Elder Services and its consumers. Serving as both a resource and referral center, the VRC helps our Agency’s staff to identify creative and productive volunteer roles. The VRC takes the lead in the recruitment, retention, and recognition of our volunteers.

Jane is a 92 year old woman living in senior housing with social security as her only source of income. She has always been independent and able to manage her own affairs, but recently she has been forgetting to pay bills on time and has become vulnerable to aggressive telephone solicitors. When Jane first met her Money Management volunteer she was overwhelmed with paperwork and anxious about her ability to meet her monthly expenses. Her volunteer got her back on track with bill paying and helped her to obtain fuel assistance and senior rates on her utilities. Jane now looks forward to her volunteer’s monthly visit. Working in partnership, they have helped Jane to retain her independence.

Our Senior Environment Corps volunteers are helping to reverse the decline of some of our most endangered species. By conducting censuses and on-going monitoring of piping plovers, least terns, bluebirds, America’s smallest falcon- the kestrel, and more, the volunteers are collecting data that is invaluable in the long-range planning for habitat restoration. Entities such as the Division of Marine Fisheries and the Audubon Society rely on the efforts of our volunteers to provide the information that is critical to the protection of our vulnerable wildlife.

finAnciAL And ProgrAM ActivitY suMMArY 2010

Elder Services’ financial statements are reflective of a healthy nonprofit organization. The complete financial statements for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010 were audited by independent accountants Claude Boudwin LLC, who expressed an unqualified, or “clean,” opinion on the statements.

Where did the money to support our activities come from and exactly how was it spent?

revenue

Our total revenue in fiscal year 2010 was $14,432,528, less than one-half percent increase compared to fiscal year 2009. Our largest source of funding is the Massachusetts Executive Office of Elder Affairs, which provides us with both state and federal contracts for service.

Our third largest source of revenue is the combination of donations and fees paid by the participants in our programs. About half of that client revenue comes from Senior Nutrition Program participants. The other half comes from Home Care Program participants.

highlights of Program revenue from Last Year

Direct federal funding increased due to one time supplemental funding from the American

Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) providing training to an additional 15 program

expenses

Now let’s look at the cost of providing services. In fiscal year 2010, we spent a total of $14,438,519 to provide the programs and services reflected in the box to the right.

Another way of looking at our expenses is functionally. Our largest functional expense is subcontracted services, since we purchase in-home client services from third-party vendors. Our second largest functional expense is staffing, due to the service-oriented nature of our business.
