Overview

Mission

To be the best place to live with purpose, wholeness, and dignity.

What it reported doing in 2024

The organization owns real property and leases it to loretto health & rehabilitation center, a 583 bed skilled nursing facility.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The program-spending lines do not add up, so the filing cannot show reliably whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
