Is a multi-service retirement community sponsored by mennonite churches in the hutchinson area. The volunteer board directs this outreach for the church with a strong commitment to compassion as defined and developed in the judeo-christian tradition. We are dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for residents through a continuum of care and supportive services in a caring community. We serve people through the aging process, from the active retired to the frail elderly, helping them and their families recognize the patterns of aging and adjust to them. We welcome individuals from all faiths and traditions. We bring together a wide variety of professional staff and volunteers to bring meaning and dignity to the life of the residents. We recognize that each individual has social, emotional, health, environmental, and spiritual needs. We encourage staff and volunteers to build appropriate relationships throughout employment and service. Interest in residency, utilization of services, and support from constituency, residents, and friends are measures of our success.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 99% of the money available for current operations came from other operating 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. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
