Overview

Mission

Housecall providers is dedicated to providing quality home-centered medical care, integrating and coordinating the delivery of primary, palliative and hospice services for homebound seniors and persons with disabilities.

What it reported doing in 2015

The hospice program provides care to those facing life-limiting illness with a prognosis of 6 months or less through a symptom based approach focusing on physical, mental, psychosocial comfort in the patients home setting. Families and caregivers are supported through the process during the illness, and for 1 year following the death of their loved one. During the current year, 349 patients were admitted onto the hospice service and 35,199 visits were made.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 97% 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.
  • 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. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
