Overview

Mission

To honor and enrich lives with empathy, purpose and grace.

What it reported doing in 2024

The organization provides health and supportive services to the frail elderly, who meet the state of Florida department of elder affairs' requirements for nursing home level care, but prefer to remain in their homes. Through its multi-disciplinary team, the pace program is responsible for coordinating and contracting to provide medical services, in-patient and out-patient hospital services, pharmacy services, and in-home services. In the current year, the organization provided services to an average of 1,233 elderly individuals each month.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 100% of the money available for current operations came from other operating 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. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
