Mission
Founded by the sisters of charity of ottawa and sponsored by the carmelite sisters for the aged and infirm, d'youville life and wellness community continues the healing ministry of jesus christ by identifying and responding to the needs of the community with professional and compassionate care in a home like setting.

Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 95% 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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and expenses are high relative to revenue.
