Overview
Mission
The christ-centered mission of calvary homes is to enrich the lives of residents, staff and the community.
What it reported doing in 2024
For the year ended june 30, 2025, the organization operated a christ-centered continuing care retirement community. Prior to the august 1, 2024 affiliation with tandem living, the community provided 1,407 skilled nursing days, representing 88% occupancy, and 1,073 personal care days, representing 52% occupancy, in its licensed skilled nursing and personal care facility. As part of the affiliation, these services were relocated and are now provided as contracted services through the other tandem living affiliate, the mennonite home dba trillium place, a licensed healthcare facility providing skilled nursing and personal care services. The community continues to provide retirement housing to an average of 300 residents with access to care at trillium place. Calvary homes provides many opportunities to enrich resident life, including activities offered both on campus and off campus. Examples include entertainment, crafts, painting classes, exercise, balance, and strength classes, book clubs, bible studies, the bible2school program, devotions, and weekly church services. In addition, residents have access to off-campus opportunities that support engagement with the local community, including outreach activities, entertainment, sightseeing, and other local events. Over the past year at the trillium place campus, we provided $8.8 million dollars of uncompensated care to an average of 70 residents per day. Approximately 37% of our personal care and skilled nursing residents need this financial assistance every year.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 68% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 98% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and liabilities are high compared with assets.
