Overview
Mission
Help adult services is an organization whose mission is to help individuals optimize their independence and quality of life through health supportive services. The services help families who have disabilities, are elderly, and have low to moderate incomes. These unique family care services provide a "safey net" for thousands of people each year.
What it reported doing in 2024
The health and medical equipment loan program, each year, has individuals and organizations donate more than 9,000 pieces of durable medical equipment that staff and volunteers clean, refurbish and lease at extremely low prices so that individuals and families can afford to be independent while recovering or recuperating from illness, injury or surgery. This program allows more than 7,000 individuals and families each year to obtain and utilize refurbished durable medical equipment and supplies at a very low, or in some cases, no-cost. This service reaches out to those in poverty (72% have an annual income of less than 20,000) those who are seniors (62% are over age 64), and individuals with disabilities. We address financial stability (97% say they feel financial relief) during a time that family is dealing with a medical crisis. This resource helps families save up to 90% of what they would spend at a retail outlet for medical equipment and supplies.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 67% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- 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.
- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
