Abstract:

Jewish Family Service of Philadelphia is currently engaged in a three-year research and demonstration project studying the relative effectiveness of centralized and decentralized service delivery systems in working with the elderly. The two modes of service organization are being compared with respect to service delivery, staff morale and productivity, cost, and client satisfaction. This paper will describe how the project is being implemented, and some preliminary findings. Since this is a mid-project report, results at this point are primarily qualitative.
