Overview

Mission

Provide quality, end of life care to those in need in a loving home environment and to provide support and resources to their families and caregivers.

What it reported doing in 2024

Jacobs ladder end of life legacy home serves to ease the caregiver burden and become a loving home and family for people in need by providing terminally ill patients with a full time residence and nonmedical comfort care, while medical management needs are met by area hospices. This patient-centered cooperative care approach results in high quality, complete end-of-life care for those who can no longer remain in their home, yet deserve compassionate care and a peaceful death in comfortable surroundings.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 94% 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.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of voting board members are independent.
