Jeff Bradt has been named Chief Executive Officer at Elder and Adult Day Services (EADS). The agency is a non-profit organization which provides relief to caregivers by offering day health programs focused on frail seniors and adults with developmental disabilities. Bradt will join the organization in mid September.

He takes over from Jan Nestler, who founded Elder and Adult Day Services more than 25 years ago.

Bradt comes to EADS from Sholom Community Alliance, a Minnesota nonprofit provider of senior healthcare and housing services with annual revenues of $45 million. For the past 10 years, Bradt has held the position of Corporate Director of Human Resources/Chief Compliance Officer for Sholom Community Alliance. His responsibilities there also included direction of an IT department supporting 500 users on three campuses. 

“Although these are challenging times for all nonprofits, the need for caring, cost-effective adult day services is growing exponentially,” Bradt said. “I am proud to be joining a passionate organization determined to meet that need.”

Bradt has served on the executive team of several Minnesota public and nonprofit organizations, including the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, Minneapolis Public Schools and the Minnesota Department of Public Safety.  He has published articles on compensation planning, applied statistics and HR management. 

In addition, he has been a presenter at many national conferences on subjects as diverse as information technology systems design, performance management, TQM and strategic planning.   He has a Masters Degree in Management from Hamline University in Minneapolis.

EADS centers are located in Bellevue, Des Moines and Bainbridge Island and are the only day health programs in Washington state that are accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF).
