Overview

Mission

The mission of the neighborhood network for seniors is to enable our older neighbors to live as independently as possible in their own homes by providing volunteer support and affordable, in-home services when needed.

What it reported doing in 2025

Providing health and safety support programs for seniors and caregivers. We provide in-home safety checks and coordinates minor home modifications and repairs as needed to address safety issues. Volunteers provide help with seasonal chores to help to maintain the home and reduce the risk of falls due to ice or attempting difficult chores. Our outreach nurse provides vital safety and care plan strategies and serves as a resource for community programs and seniors served by them. To provide regular, comprehensive education opportunities for seniors, caregivers, and members of the public covering a broad range of topics to include, but are not limited to: decluttering and safety at home; vision loss support resources; stress relief/self-care; and medicare/insurance navigation. Our education programs helps to round out any service plans developed with seniors, caregivers, and our staff, providing additional information and resources.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 79% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
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.
