Overview

Mission

To provide quality active senior living and health care within a christian-based community through a continuum of service founded upon the values of respect, dignity and independence.

What it reported doing in 2024

Operation of a senior living and care community in Missouri which provides services to satisfy three basic needs of elderly persons, including housing, health care, and financial security. Housing needs are met by providing facilities that are specifically designed to meet a combination of physical, emotional, recreational and social needs of elderly persons. Health care needs are satisfied by offering a continuum of care which offers services for the future health care needs of residents on a single campus. Financial security is achieved by providing services at the lowest feasible cost. Included is the policy of maintaining in residence any person who outlives his or her ability to pay for the cost of residency through no fault of their own.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 95% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and expenses are high relative to revenue.
