Mission

The purpose of the organization is to develop and operate housing specially designed for the elderly, with arrangements for the residents' health care and financial security, and otherwise to promote the interests and serve the needs of the elderly.

What it reported doing in 2025

Meadowbrook village began with a desire to create a quality retirement community where christ's love would be shown in the way we serve and live with one another. Meadowbrook was founded by a local nonprofit foundation and is supported by members of several local churches. After years of planning, anticipation and prayer, meadowbrook village christian retirement community is now fully operational. The initial phases consist of 50 cottages, 54 apartment units, a full-service dining facility and many other amenities. A pool and recreation facility was completed in 2012. In 2020 a new building was opened providing 66 additional apartment units. A walking trail which includes a 250-foot pedestrian bridge borders the natural wetland preserve on the eastern portion of the 25-acre site. The 75-foot-tall working dutch windmill and coffee house are unmistakable landmarks in the heart of the campus.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 98% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
