What it reported doing in 2025
The organization operates a non-profit continuing care retirement community, which includes three levels of care: independent living, personal care and a skilled nursing facility consisting of 71 apartments, 40 personal care units, and a 120 bed skilled nursing facility. The community provides aging services to promote general health, welfare and security for the senior residents, and to plan and develop new programs and services to meet the evolving social, health and personal needs of residents. Occupancy for the year was 92.10% for independent living, 59.97% for personal care and 96.24% for nursing.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 98% 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. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence.
