McAuley Seton Home Care provides skilled nursing, physical therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, medical social work and home health aide services to individuals in their homes in the counties of Erie and Niagara. Committed to a common mission, Western New York's Catholic Health providers continue the healing ministry of Jesus. Seeking to improve the health of individuals and communities, we provide high quality service that is holistic, compassionate, and respectful of human dignity.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
