Overview
Mission
We are called to deliver compassionate, high-quality, affordable health services and to serve those in need in our communities.
What it reported doing in 2024
Adult day health care - provides care, transportation, social and recreational activities, physical, occupational and speech therapies, meals and support to eligible adults 18 years or older.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- 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 some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
