1 Annual report 2016

2 THE Y E A R IN RE V IE W: 2016 I want to be as positive and encouraging as possible, but I need to be realistic and honest about the situation in which DDM finds itself. I am as optimistic and committed to this ministry as I have ever been, but I have to admit that 2016 was not a great year for DDM as far as the financial picture is concerned. It was dismal, in fact, and we ended the year with a significant deficit. It was no one's fault. There were just a number of circumstances that developed over which we had little, if any, control. There were a number of issues, but two in particular greatly affected our budget. First, we budgeted for 2016 anticipating a signifcant Medicaid waiver rate increase that had been promised to us and other providers by state government. It was to be the first increase that we had received in many years. It did not materialize. Secondly, in our efforts to abide by new rules and regulations from the Department of Labor and other agencies, and in our efforts to increase wages for our direct care staff, we incurred additional expenses. An organization cannot continue to operate effectively with the same income when expenses continue to rise. Our trustees responded to this financial concern with great speed and commitment, consulting outside resources, as well as the current DDM staff, to determine what changes needed to be implemented to "right the ship." Difficult decisions were made at the beginning of 2017 to ensure that this ministry could continue to operate within its budget. This necessitated some staff cuts and other adjustments to the budget.we are confident that we will come through this transition even stronger because of the hard decisions our trustees were willing to make. There is so much to report about DDM that is very positive. The number of homes under our care and the number of residents to whom we minister are the highest they have ever been. We have dedicated trustees and committed staff members, and happy residents who bring joy to many people. Dr. William Neal Interim President/CEO Dr. Greg DeLoach led our organization throughout the year and dealt with some difficult situations, including the untimely death of a beloved resident, a devastating fire at the Paul Home in Rome, and the above mentioned financial difficulties. Although his time with us was short, he left his mark and is appreciated for his contributions to DDM. Greg will continue to be a strong supporter of DDM. His departure was a personal decision to answer another ministerial "call" that came his way. We wish him well in his new position with Mercer University. There are a number of factors that fuel our optimism for 2017 and beyond. The Medicaid waiver rate increases anticipated in years past were realized in March of Those increases will significantly help us. We have already initiated staff adjustments, necessary to reduce payroll and improve overall efficiency while reducing budget deficits. We continue to strengthen relationships with existing community partners while establishing new relationships. We are consistently invited to partner with new civic organizations, church congregations, and volunteer groups. All of these share the good news of our ministry and the positive outlook for our future will be a signifcant year for DDM in that our accreditation agency, CARF, will be making a visit to provide accreditation, hopefully for another three years. Plans are underway for continuing great programs we already have in place like summer camp and the Residents' Christmas Weekend. And, some new initiatives are on the horizon related to fundraising, events, healthcare improvements, continuing education opportunities and more! And, the trustees will be searching for the next president/ceo for this wonderful ministry. I can think of no more worthy cause or effective organization in which to invest one's time, energy, and financial resources than DDM. I am delighted to be back and to support this Christian ministry in every way that I can. The support of our friends is greatly appreciated! Grateful to be on this journey with you, William Neal Because all persons are beloved, we practice these core values: Gratitude - Believing that all persons have unique and beautiful gifts to share, we work, serve and live thankfully and gratefully. Dignity - Affirming that every person is created in God s Image, all have worth, value and dignity. Respect - Interacting with all with honesty, truthfulness, and fairness. Responsibility - Modeling trust and embracing accountability, we value prompt, courteous and timely responses. Partnership - Working with others, we can accomplish our mission. Excellence Believing that all things should be done well and in good order, every task large and small is approached with excellence and quality. 2 DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES MINISTRIES A N N U A L R E P O R T 2016

Income was under budget while expenses exceeded the budget. There were a number of reasons behind the revenue shortfall and increased expenses. (See The Year In Review on opposite page.) DDM managed a total of 19 homes (same as 2015) with a 93% occupancy rate. While the number of residents increased by two (67 at the end of the year), the occupancy rate was slightly lower due to renovations that allowed homes that previously could only serve three residents to now serve four, thus increasing the overall capacity from 70 to 72. The Life Enrichment and Activities Program (LEAP) resulted in donations of more than $ 11,500. This fund pays for residents to participate in ball games, concerts, and theater events at a discounted rate. Additionally, it is used to help pay for medical and dental expenses that residents cannot afford. DDM owns a fleet of 20 vehicles used for the transportation of residents to Day Programs, employment, grocery shopping and recreation. There is a great need to replace some of the older vehicles in this fleet, and donations for this purpose would be greatly appreciated. A list of donors, including individual patrons, supporting churches, and various organizations and foundations, is listed elsewhere in this report. Many of these donors have given consistently to this ministry for a number of years, going back to the organization s founding more than 30 years ago. DDM is very appreciative of the support from these many friends Revenue Medicaid.... $3,123,752 Residents & Families..... $723,854 Individual Donors.... $185,866 Churches..... $76,763 Foundations, Grants & Corps.... $23,150 Misc.
