PROGRAM SERVICES
Form 990 Part III Line 4d
HISTORY & PHILOSOPHY Enable began as an affiliate of United Cerebral Palsy of New Jersey in 1989. In just a half-decade, the organization grew to recognize a larger need within the community of individuals with various disabilities and a wider geographic area calling for support. In 1994, the agency advanced as Enable, Inc., an independent, nonprofit that develops and delivers services for persons with cognitive and/or physical disabilities, and their families. Today, Enable, Inc. is a nonprofit devoted to supporting children and adults with disabilities, and vulnerable seniors, to live full and independent lives in the community. Enable's support includes group homes, independent living services that provide help with cooking, shopping, and personal care in the consumer's home, transportation, supervised living programs, day programs and day supports, respite care and support services for families of consumers. In delivering these services, Enable is committed to promoting individual choice and offering services that are meaningful to consumers and their families. We understand that people with disabilities have dreams, goals and personal interests, and we recognize their needs for social, recreational and meaningful work opportunities. Enable is devoted to helping them aspire to these achievements while living as safely and independently as possible. OUR FAMILY OF PROGRAMS Enable operates 11 Group Homes throughout Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth and Somerset Counties and oversees one SUPERVISED APARTMENT. Each group home provides residential and support services to 4-5 consumers through 24-hour care which allows them to live in the community, free to pursue their interests and with supports that maximize their access to ordinary community life. The Supervised Apartment assists two persons with unique dietary needs. During the day, residents enjoy community involvement, day programs or purposeful employment. Vacancies rarely occur as consumers create a "family" within the home for themselves. Some individuals have been with Enable for 20 years. During FY2011, Enable assisted 51 persons through its residential services and results of the Satisfaction Survey showed 94% of the consumers were satisfied and 97% of family members/guardians were satisfied with the services received. Our INDEPENDENT LIVING SERVICES foster the ability of a person with disabilities to live at home on his own or with his family or in a supervised care setting. By providing help with tasks that include cooking, shopping, errands, grooming and assisting with personal care needs that include bathing and grooming, Enable supports the health and the dignity of children and adults with disabilities who are not able to care for themselves. Our consumer needs range from help with everyday daily activities of living like getting dressed and feeding, to more medically-critical tasks related to repositioning one's body and monitoring medication. These services, also called Personal Care Assistance, Supportive Living Services, Self-Directed Services, are critical to the health and quality of life of our consumers. During FY2011, Enable provided 31,136 hours of service to 15 consumers. ACCESSIBILITY SERVICES offer home modifications that adapt living spaces to meet the needs of people with physical limitations. This service allows individuals to continue living independently at home without safety risks and accessibility barriers. Our projects can include major modifications installing ramps, wider doors and stairglides, or smaller projects placing shower grab bars and replacing cabinet knobs with pull handles. Enable provides assessment and education, oversees projects, offers financial assistance, and helps consumers and their families obtain assistive devices. During FY2011, we received 75 referrals and assessed feasibility of 81 projects but had funds to complete just 36 projects. RESPITE CARE for family members who are caring for their loved one with a disability at home is provided in several different ways. Primarily, Enable has served as the fiscal intermediary for over 100 families who use the "cash option"; that is, families receive a limited amount of funds monthly to hire their own respite worker who can relieve them for up to 20 hours in one month. Enable also oversees three family cooperatives. FY2010 was the last year that Enable offered "Club Chameleon"-a Saturday drop off respite program. The State of NJ determined that it wants to limit respite care to cash options as of July 1, 2011. Altogether, 18,516 hours of respite care were provided with DDD support. Our DAY PROGRAMS and DAY SUPPORTS in Mercer, Middlesex and Monmouth Counties provide adults with structured activities that meet the social, recreational and work needs of our consumers. Close supervision, strong support and personal care services are offered as needed. The Mercer program is center based. The other programs are tailored to individual participant interests and participants "spend their day" at various locations such as the gym, parks, doing volunteer work, taking courses, etc. During FY2011, 25 participants attended for 20,198 days. CASE MANAGEMENT PLUS - Part of a unique collaboration with agencies serving the elderly in Mercer County, Enable is serving the needs of older adults with disabilities through the "Partners in Caring" and "Project Connect" programs funded through the United Way of Greater Mercer. Case management services assess the health and well-being of older adults and connect them to supports that address ongoing issues related to aging and chronic health problems while alleviating risks to their safety and independence. Enable is proud to have helped more than 140 older adults to live with dignity and remain in their own homes during FY2011. Services included: 491 units of case management, 975 hours of respite care (via cash option), 374 hours of volunteer friendly visits, 46 nurse visits, and (already noted above) 11 accessibility projects. Connect with Enable engages individual and groups of volunteers in ways that enhance the quality of life for children and adults with disabilities. Last year, Enable benefitted from the time and talent of 761 volunteers who provided 5,528 hours of service. While we believe the involvement of citizens in the lives of persons with disabilities is "priceless," the dollar value of these hours spent painting a group home, providing a friendly visit, planting flowers, or holding a hand is over $118,000 (Independent Sector, 2010). In addition, interns from the Rutgers School of Social Work and Princeton Theological Society play a critical role in enhancing our program services and helping integrate current practice models into our work. Enable's programming is built on a foundation of respect for the consumer's self-determination and individual choice. To ensure that we meet the needs of our consumers and their families, Enable conducts a consumer satisfaction survey. The results of our FY2011 survey revealed that over 93% of the persons we serve are satisfied or very satisfied with their care. FUNDING While Enable's primary source of funding is the NJ Division of Developmental Disabilities, we experience the limits of public resources and also rely on donations from individuals, community groups, United Way funding, and the local business sector. Enable is continually working to grow the base of fiscal resources supporting the organization. Having diverse sources of funding allows the organization to address the full range of consumer issues and introduce new supports that meet their emerging needs. As documented by the organization's most recent FY2010 audit, Enable dedicated 88% of expenditures to program services, 11% to management and operational expenses, and 1% to fundraising expenses. MANAGEMENT STAFF Enable is lead by an experienced management team of seasoned professionals fluent in the needs of persons with disabilities. Sharon Copeland has served as Executive Director of Enable since 2002, and brings 35 years of experience in social services and organizational administration. Ms. Copeland holds a Master's Degree in Social Work and is a Licensed Social Worker. Mary Burke serves as the Assistant Executive Director and brings over 33 years of experience in the field of disabilities. Enable's Director of Finance, Robin Bynoe, holds an MBA in Finance and the Director of Human Resources and Administrative Services, George Flanagan, holds a BA in Business Administration.
