Overview
Mission
To honor and enrich the lives of aging adults in a community of Christ-like love.
What it reported doing in 2024
Landis homes is a continuing care retirement community serving the aging population by providing housing, healthcare, and related services on a 114-acre campus surrounded by preserved farmland. Landis homes is home to almost 900 persons living in hybrid homes, cottages, apartments, suites, personal care, healthcare, and heritage special care (persons with memory loss). Average occupancy for fiscal 2025 was as follows for the year: residential living - 97%, personal care - 91%, and skilled nursing - 95%. Landis homes provides charity care to residents who meet certain criteria without charge or at amounts less than established rates. In 2025 charity care, which represents the difference between the estimated cost of providing care and the payments received for services rendered, totaled $3,577,154. Landis homes also hosts a memory support and a parkinson's support group; both programs are open to the public community. Volunteers provide various services for the organization. These services are not recognized as contributions in the financial statements as the recognition criteria under the authoritative accounting guidance were not met. Volunteers contributed 25,737 hours in fiscal 2025.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 81% 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. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
