The third neighborhood, enhanced assisted living, was created in 2024 from converting 28 health center beds to enhanced assisted living private rooms. Enhanced assisted living can accommodate residents up to level 3 with total physical dependence and cognitive impairment. All assisted living spaces are holistic and centered on the individual. Plans of care are individualized to the needs and preferences of residents to provide the highest quality of care and life. Total occupied days for fiscal year ending june 30, 2025 were 17,141, 3,601 of which were in residential care apartments. Occupancy at 6/30/2025 was 53.9 in residential care apartments, 23 in memory care and 20 in enhanced assisted living.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Liabilities are high compared with assets and some filed totals do not add up.
