Overview
Mission
Living with dementia provides access to support, education, respite and resources for those impacted by dementia in central New York.
What it reported doing in 2025
Respite care - we provide families with compassionate respite care for their loved ones living with dementia, giving caregivers the chance to take a much-needed break. During this time they can rest, recharge, and return to their vital role with renewed energy and strength.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 65% 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
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
