recreational outings, holiday 
celebrations and other features 
that make JARC residences true 
homes.

NEW INITIATIVES
Leadership is actively seeking 
ways to enhance services and 
operations especially through 
partnerships and collaborations. 
Earlier this year, JARC down-
sized, moving into the Max M. 
Fisher Federation Building after 
selling its Farmington Hills 
headquarters. As a Federation 
tenant, JARC can share some 
building services with other 
agencies.
JARC has enhanced the 
energy efficiency of its homes 
through a contact Luckoff made 
with DTE Energy. Luckoff 
inquired whether JARC, as a 
nonprofit, might qualify for 
special rates. A rate waiver 
wasn’
t possible but DTE has 
provided energy-efficient water 
heaters, furnaces and light bulbs 
for JARC homes with a value 
of close to $250,000 to reduce 
energy costs.
Improved operations are also 
the goal for developing an elec-

tronic medical record system. 
This initiative, supported by the 
Jewish Fund, will help improve 
staff scheduling and workflow 
for greater efficiency and better 
service.
JARC and the Jewish Hospice 
and Chaplaincy Network are 
working together to help resi-
dents at the end of their lives. 
The Friendship Circle is anoth-
er recent partner as JARC offers 
seminars and counseling for 
parents of children with devel-
opmental disabilities. The intent 
is to help them prepare for their 
children’
s transition into adult-
hood.
JARC is taking the lead in 
planning a meeting with 14 
similar Jewish service agen-
cies around the country. “We 
want to learn from each other 
to advance best practices and 
reduce costs,
” Luckoff says. 
Looking ahead, Luckoff 
is confident and focused on 
JARC’
s continued success. He 
views its strengths as “a great 
board, a phenomenal CEO and 
a culture of open-mindedness. 
We need to provide the best 
services and make sure we take 
care of our community.
” 

Laura, Jenny and staffer 
Shoshana 
celebrate JARC’
s 
50th anniversary.
