Overview

Mission

This organization exists to support individuals who lack the resources and financial stability required in order to function in their communities. Give Care Openly Services provides in-home assistance to elderly and disabled patients who would struggle without help.

What it reported doing in 2024

The program provides services to Medicaid and Medicare patients. They offer Personal Care, Hospice and Skilled Nursing, Home Delivered Meals, Personal Emergency Response Systems, Specialized Medical Equipment & Supplies, and Home Modifications.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% 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 some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
