Overview

Mission

Rooted in faith and guided by deep respect.

What it reported doing in 2024

Assisted living: franciscan communities provides assisted living services to allow residents to receive the assistance they need while maintaining an active lifestyle. These services are designed to meet the physical, social and spiritual needs of the residents. Accommodations include efficiencies, studios, and one bedroom units. Some of the amenities provided include three meals daily, snacks, housekeeping, maintenance, security, and religious and life enrichment activities. In addition, staff is available to provide assistance with activities of daily living to meet each resident's needs. The average census in assisted living approximated 363 in fiscal 2025.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 98% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and some filed totals do not add up.
