What it reported doing in 2024

Auburn senior services inc's (assi's) nursing facility offers long term care for older adults requiring 24 hour care. Resident's heath care needs are met by caring, well trained interdisciplinary teams knowledgeable on the latest research and trends in geriatric medicine. While nursing home residents tend to be among the frailest seniors, assi's creative recreational therapists conduct daily activities and events to enhance the vitality, dignity and spiritual life of every resident. These daily activities might include group crossword puzzles, hallway bowling or outings to a favorite restaurant. In every instance they are designed to encourage social interaction while enhancing quality of life. Assi is a 300 bed facility that includes the largest rehab program in cayuga county. Because of our size we are able to offer specialized services that may not be found in smaller nursing homes. Of particular note are floors dedicated to higher functioning patients as well as a specialized floor for those with dementia. By creating a specialized floor, the neurological needs of dementia patients can be met more easily and the nursing staff become experts in that particular care regimen. This configuration also more fully meets the companionship and conversational needs of healthier residents. A team of talented recreational therapists maintain an active daily schedule of physical and mental activities, outings and special events.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 98% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program 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 the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
