Historical Perspective
By the mid 1990s several challenges were facing the Jewish community with regard to services for older adults.
AJFCA & IAJVS 2007 ANNUAL CONFERENCE

Challenges: Jewish Nursing Home
Borman Hall – a licensed Home for the Aged No longer in the heart of the Jewish communityPoor state inspectionsFiscal drain on the Federation

Challenges: An Aging Population
In the mid 1980s, 1 in 100 Michigan residents was over 85.1990-2000 – more than a 30% increase in residents over 85 y.o.Services would need to adapt to serve an older, frailer population.
AJFCA & IAJVS 2007 ANNUAL CONFERENCE

Recommendation: Get out of the Nursing Home Business
Find a qualified operator to serve as a preferred providerTransfer residents to facilities that served
kosher foodMake Jewish Home and Aging Services
responsible for ensuring that these homes operate “Jewishly”It was clear that Federation needed to convince the community that it was not turning its back on the Jewish frail elderly.
AJFCA & IAJVS 2007 ANNUAL CONFERENCE
10
Recommendation: Create Central Planning and Coordinating Authority
In the fall of 1996 COJES was formed as a consortium of the partner Federation agencies servicing older Jewish adults.Organized as a function of the Federation, as part of the Planning Department Comprised of lay leaders and professional staff of each Federation agency and community members at-large
AJFCA & IAJVS 2007 ANNUAL CONFERENCE
11
Responsibilities of COJESServing as a central planning and coordinating authority for older adult servicesCreating a continuum of care of quality services for Jewish older adults and their familiesDeveloping a community-wide plan and budget for Jewish eldercare services
AJFCA & IAJVS 2007 ANNUAL CONFERENCE
12
Meeting the ChallengeHow to get five agency executives who were hired to protect and grow their own agencies to work together openlyHow to develop collaborative rather than individualistic projects in order to maximize resourcesHow to avoid duplication of services
AJFCA & IAJVS 2007 ANNUAL CONFERENCE
13
Meeting the Challenge:Getting Buy In
Build on the strengths and expertise of each of the partner agenciesPartner agencies were all active participants in the Eldercare Options Committee and the creation of COJES.Partner agencies were part of the interviewing process to choose the director.
AJFCA & IAJVS 2007 ANNUAL CONFERENCE
14
Meeting the Challenge:Improve CollaborationCOJES, along with the Agency Execs Task Force on Aging, has repeatedly looked for ways to enhance services and efficiency:
Examine the best use of existing resources Examine if a program or service lends itself
to collaboration Not all services need to be provided by the
Jewish community -- no need to duplicate what exists in the general community.
AJFCA & IAJVS 2007 ANNUAL CONFERENCE
15
Meeting the Challenge: Getting to Work
How to best structure COJES for getting work done Establishment of subcommittees composed
of professionals and lay leaders to address gaps in services including: Jewish Community Information Center Adult Day Care Chaplaincy Community education In-home Support Services Budgeting Housing and transportation Falls prevention and wellness center
AJFCA & IAJVS 2007 ANNUAL CONFERENCE
16
Initial Outcomes of COJESThere is a positive view in the community about
Federation’s role in addressing the needs of older adults.The preferred providers are offering good care at the
nursing homes.More older adults than ever before are being assisted by
Federation agencies and receiving the supports needed to age in place. There are expanded and new programs, many jointly
operated.
COJES agencies provide a variety of coordinated services offering a continuum of care for older adults.
AJFCA & IAJVS 2007 ANNUAL CONFERENCE

Meeting the Challenge: Establishing a Cross Agency Budget
Shows how much money is actually being spent in the Jewish community on older adult services Shows how much governmental funding is helping to support servicesHelps provide information on duplication/ overlap of services among the agencies

The number of people who will need services in the future and the cost of providing services will increase.The primary focus of services is community, not institutional based.The current system is not broken, but needed to decide if current system is best for the future, needs modification or there needs to be a new system.The process is to be approached with no preconceived ideas and from a communal rather than individual agency perspective. Committee members are encouraged to share, participate, be creative and brainstorm.There are no bad ideas.Committee has the ability to have a major impact now and in the future.

The diagram above refers to services that could perhaps be consolidated. In addition, there still needs to be a discussion of other services that could potentially be consolidated such as food services and Holocaust survivor services. A decision was made to continue to coordinate volunteer services, but not to consolidate them into one agency due to the nature of volunteerism and the agency/volunteer relationship.
