12. Community Services Update - Mary Keating
Mary Keating provided data regarding the Ride DuPage Program funded by DuPage
County. In 2017, there were 44,553 riders that were funded by the County through
Ride DuPage. 32,000 rides were for the Transportation to Work Program which
provides transportation for people with developmental disabilities who are receiving
services from five partnering agencies. About 12,000 rides were from the Paratransit
Program which helps low income residents get to doctors' appointments or DuPage
County for services. The cost to the county in services in 2017 was $482,000 and
$528,000 in 2016; averaging slightly over 500,000 annually over a five year period.
Para-transit services are significantly more expensive than Uber or Lift; drivers have
special training and use a combination of lift equipped vehicles and taxicabs. All the
services are provided through a contract the county has with PACE and PACE
subcontracts for both the dispatch office and a number of transportation providers.
13. DuPage Care Center Update - Janelle Chadwick
Janelle Chadwick, Administrator of the DuPage Convalescent Center, stated the new Assistant
Director of Nursing, Saveina Tanner, started last week and recruitment is underway for a new
Director of Nursing. Ms. Chadwick is in the process of completing a six-month assessment of the
Care Center strengths and opportunities, which she will present to Tom Cuculich and Sheryl
Markay this week, and share with the committee at a later date.
Chairman Larsen stated the option of using the DuPage Care Center kitchen for meal preparation
for the jail population and staff was discussed in the Judicial and Public Safety Committee
meeting earlier in the day. The discussion was prompted upon the approval of a short, one year
contract to an outside vendor, giving staff adequate opportunity to explore the capacity of the
Care Center to support the jail with meal preparation and linen services.
