Mission

The mission of dietert center is to proactively support healthy aging by providing information, services, activities, and rewarding volunteer opportunities that enhance quality of life.

What it reported doing in 2024

Community services programs helped support continued independent living for seniors in their homes through over 1,591 information and referral interactions, installed and serviced an average of over 300 emergency response units every month of the year, provided 5,180 hours of respite for caregivers of family members suffering from dementia, loaned out and accepted donations of more than 2,300 pieces of medical equipment, answered approximately 6,191 calls from seniors living alone with our free call reassurance program, and provided information, assistance, referrals, and support for 376 community members regarding aging and dementia-related concerns.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 82% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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 - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
