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.

SREC Project
Southeast Regional Eldercare Coalition is devised of regional Social Services providers, interested community members, family members and users of services. The Coalition and Steering Committee acts as an advisor for the SREC Project. The SREC Project is a limited time project that is a grant-funded to act as the backbone administration for the Coalition while working to develop the workforce, improve retention, and increase navigation within the eldercare system. The project overall, is aimed to improve the quality of life for the elders by supporting aging in place through advocating for a stronger Direct Support Professional workforce who provide in-home care in the region.
SREC Project Objectives
- Provide a centralized home for Coalition information and eldercare issues.
- Promote collaboration rather than competition for funding and staff.
- Develop Navigation Tool for eldercare service providers in Southeast Alaska
- Organize an Eldercare Summit to bring stakeholders and partners together.
- Help initiate a Regional Training mechanism to train Eldercare Staff.
