This care includes physical care and counseling. Hospice is for all age groups during their final stages of life throughout the human lifespan. The goal of hospice care is to teach the caregivers and attend to the medical, physical, social, emotional, and spiritual needs of the hospice patient. Additional supportive care and counseling are provided to families. During the current year, there were 142,320 patient days and 2,559 patients served by the filing organization.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 97% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
