What it reported doing in 2024

Day habilitation - provides a safe, respectful and stimulating environment where participants can learn skills they can use to become active members of their community. Staff provides to and from transportation to sites. Mill neck operates center based day habilitation where people begin their day at the center and engage in volunteerism, class activities, and other experiences on and off site with support staff. Goals are derived from each person's life plan created by cco's. Mill neck also operates several day habilitation without walls programs that stress activities made up entirely of community based experiences. Without walls program begins at a person's home where staff meet them and continue active participation in community in line with activities derived from life plan and staff action plan.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 85% 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
