Overview
Mission
To change 'how you live, NOT where you live' by providing an alternative to in-home aide services or institutional care, assisting clients in maximizing their independence.
What it reported doing in 2025
Skilled nursing care and skilled rehabilitation services for elderly and chronically ill individuals living in the nursing facility or served in the adult day health care program. Care is provided in an environment which maximizes dignity and independence.
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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
