From 1993 to 1996, Senior Day Break (SDB), an adult day program in Sioux Falls, S.D., doubled its enrollment, quadrupled the fees it charges clients for ancillary services, and achieved its goal of consistent financial break-even.
The project was part of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) Partners in Caregiving: The Dementia Services Program national program.
Key Results
- Senior Day Break doubled its enrollment, quadrupled the fees it charges clients for ancillary services, and achieved its goal of consistent financial break-even. It achieved this by using technical assistance from Partners in Caregiving program staff to:
- Strengthen and expand its operations by adding daily service and weekend respite care.
- Charge separately for ancillary services.
- Upgrade its computer system.
- Increase its financial heath and management capabilities.
- Expand its marketing efforts, in particular reaching out to the rural elderly.
Funding
RWJF's funding of the national program office of Partners in Caregiving supported the technical assistance provided to this site.

Grant Results Reports
RWJF produces Grant Results reports on its funded initiatives. External writers and editors read the entire grant to prepare each report, which is then reviewed by RWJF staff and by the director of the initiative. Any reviewer in the chain may ask for changes in the report to improve clarity or accuracy.
