Southeast Regional Eldercare Coalition
Our Mission:
Bringing eldercare providers from across SE Alaska together to problem solve mutual issues, share program information & be a collaborative force for change.
History
Southeast Regional Eldercare Coalition – In fall 2021, the Juneau Economic Development Council (JEDC), in concert with the Juneau Commission on Aging (JCOA), convened a group of eldercare providers to strategize and find more efficient, effective, and collaborative mechanisms to serve elders by working together toward our parallel and collective goals. The meeting included broad representation from organizations providing regional and local services for elders and people experiencing disabilities, medical and mental health providers, and representatives from tribal organizations, AARP, United Way, and others focused on the senior economy.
An early survey of participating organizations in the newly-formed Southeast Regional Eldercare Coalition highlighted that the most pressing issue for member providers is eldercare workforce needs, including staff recruitment, training, and retention.
