Overview
Mission
Elder services inc provides programs, services and resources to assist persons age 60 and over in johnson county and east central Iowa to stay active, independent and safe in their own homes.
What it reported doing in 2017
Elder services provides both congregate dining and home delivery of meals through meals on wheels program. Home delivered meals are delivered primarily by volunteers and staff that also check on recipients five days a week within city limits and twice monthly to rural clients in four counties, these volunteers and staff bring concerns about the seniors' condition to esi personnel who check on the senior and emergency contacts as necessary. The nutrition program served over 107,000 meals for the year to recipients who qualify to receive meals under the older americans act, medicaid or low cost private pay meals. Meals were served in a variety of settings and locations including: meals on wheels delivery to the homebound; congregate dining sites in Iowa city; and rural outreach throughout johnson, Iowa, cedar, and Washington counties. Included in the total were 57,700 home delivered meals to some of the frailest of clients.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 97% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. The required major-donor schedule is missing or incomplete and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
