Overview
Mission
The mission of the center is to foster the independence and well-being of older adults, enhance their dignity and self-respect, and promote their participation in, and contribution toward, all aspects of community life.
What it reported doing in 2024
The house of welcome ("how") day program specializes in adult day services for individuals with alzheimer's disease and related dementias. This program offers several therapeutic, small group activities in a homelike setting for its participants. The center also works with the greater Illinois chapter of the alzheimer's association in providing support group programs.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 66% 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
SUPPORTED - 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.
