Partnership with Easter SealsDana Bright, Rush University Medical Center

Easter Seals Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP)

Funded by Title V of the Older Americans Act

Subcontracts with nine Easter Seals affiliates in nine states2 offices in metro Chicago, 230 participants

Program goal is to provide low income participants 55 years or older with community service and job placement opportunities

Partnership with Easter Seals

Rush approached Easter Seals of Metropolitan Chicago about serving as a host site for CDSMP and DSMP

Relationship developed over several months with the Assistant National Director and local Program Coordinator

Easter Seals identified a growing positive correlation between the number of participants leaving the program due to medical/health concerns with the low numbers of participants receiving physical health exams, which Easter Seals offers to pay for

Acknowledgment that this is an area in need of improvement


CDSMP/DSMP seen as a compliment to training and support provided through SCSEP

CDSMP/DSMP also viewed as an added benefit provided exclusively to SCSEP participants to 1) help them maintain and improve their health and wellbeing and 2) help them stay engaged as SCSEP participants

Arrangements were made to host an initial DSMP workshop at the Easter Seals Oak Park office at a convenient time when participants where already onsite for meetings

Easter Seals provided lunch during the DSMP workshop


Recruitment of participants through a “Class Zero” and referrals from Easter Seals case managers

Pilot DSMP has been a big success; average 16-18 participants per session; positive feedback received from group members

Future goals:Attend staff training to orient staff to CDSMP/DSMPHold additional CDSMP/DSMP workshops at Easter

Keys to Success in the Workplace for Older Adults

How CDSMP Helps

Key strategies for work preparation include assisting participants in developing a personal goal through planning.

The CDSMP toolbox provides tools, including weekly action plans that can sustain individuals as they learn and practice behaviors for healthy aging.

Participants will thrive in the workplace if they are motivated through training by building self-esteem and provided opportunities for success.

The CDSMP 6-week workshop helps participants gain confidence and feel more positive about their lives.

Program (SCSEP)Keys to Success in the Workplace for Older Adults

How CDSMP Helps

Older workers are likely to have chronic conditions - 80% of older adults have at least one chronic condition and half have at least two chronic conditions.

CDSMP peer-led workshops teach participants to manage symptoms; get started with healthy eating and exercise; communicate effectively with their doctor; make daily tasks easier; and get more out of life.

Older workers who participate in CDSMP workshops can expect long term benefits. Effects have been documented for CDSMP participants at 6 months, 1 year, and 2 year follow up .

Participants reported improved health status, decreased disability, reduced health distress, increased self-efficacy, improved fatigue level, and greater partnerships with clinicians.

increased adaptationFlexibility in providing training and support Mindful development of partnerships respectful

of cultural attitudes

Collaborating with Limited-English Speaking Groups

These adults age 55 and older have the power to help a child who needs them

Serving in Head Start Centers, schools, and other youth facilities—they help children learn to read and provide guidance at a critical time

They are a role model, a mentor, and a friend Put simply, Foster Grandparents help set a child on the

path toward a successful future…. When they help themselves—they help others!
