Overview

Mission

To promote the well being of asian american seniors and other adults who are disadvantaged by their language barrier and other cultural barriers.

What it reported doing in 2025

In 2025 the organization served more than 960 clients, asian american seniors and other adults who are disadvantaged by their language and cultural barriers. Under the home care division, approx. 728 clients were served in their own ethnic languages. An additional 232 asian elderly were served in its adult day care center, which was opened in 2014.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 97% 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 most voting board members are independent. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
