Overview

Mission

The mission of brethren village is to provide a continuum of services and christ-like care to support the aging process and to enhance the spiritual, physical, social, and emotional wholeness of residents, team members, and the community.

What it reported doing in 2024

Our courtyards nursing facility features 120 residences and provides dependable, person centered, quality health care services to individuals who may be recovering from an accident or surgery or who are in need of long term services. The focus is on providing quality care in a home environment. Over 40,000 resident days of nursing service were provided during the year ended june 30, 2025. Approximately 32% of the residents receiving services were receiving government assistance. Approximately $1,202,000 on a cost basis was provided in charity care for the year. The courtyards stresses dignity, independence, respect and overall well-being of residents as they require more assistance during the aging process.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 85% 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Liabilities are high compared with assets and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
