Mission

What it reported doing in 2024

Behavioral health unit (bhu). On our 38-bed hospital bhu, we treat chronic mental health issues that are exacerbated by age, new behavioral symptoms and/or the onset of dementia. We manage challenging behaviors with the goal of bringing patients back to a stable baseline so that they can return to their prior living settings, whether that is in the community, in an assisted living facility, or a long term care nursing home. In the case of the latter two settings, we work collaboratively with staff to help them understand how they can help avoid environmental triggers to future exacerbations and behavioral disturbances. Our psychiatrists see every patient every day. A geriatrician is assigned to every patient to evaluate and treat medical issues. Individual and group therapies are provided daily; and support groups for families are also an integral part of the care plan. Conditions we treat include chronic psychiatric issues, bipolar disorder, delusional disorder, alzheimer's disease with behavioral disturbances, depression, schizophrenia and paranoid disorder. Our hospital services are medicare and medicaid certified.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 95% 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. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
