Overview

Mission

Christian Care (a 501(c)(3) nonprofit) was founded in 1979 by Christians to minister to Arizona seniors—especially those with limited financial resources—through faith-based senior living services such as Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care across multiple Arizona communities.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 100% 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

MIXED - Most voting board members are independent and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence.
