Overview

Mission

St. Mary Health Care Center, a Catholic rehabilitation and skilled nursing facility, was established as a continuing expression of the vision of St. Marguerite d'Youville, Foundress of the Sisters of Charity of Montreal, the "Grey Nuns". In the spirit of Marguerite, whose legacy we share, we seek to "bring the miracle of love to all" through compassionate care. St. Mary Health Care Center desires, in partnership with others committed to providing holistic and inclusive care for all, to develop innovative and creative means to enhance the physical, emotional, social and spiritual well-being of those we serve.

What it reported doing in 2024

The Organization provided 40,153 days of skilled nursing care to elderly patients from all economic, ethnic, and religious backgrounds. Of these days, the Organization provided 36,683 days of skilled services to Medicaid recipients.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% 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. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and expenses are high relative to revenue.
