Overview

Mission

Excellence in senior care reflective of jewish values

What it reported doing in 2024

Operation of a philanthropic home in accordance with jewish traditions, providing a continuum of care, including neighborhood homes, skilled nursing and dementia care.

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. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and expenses are high relative to revenue.
