Overview

Mission

Senior Network Services is a nonprofit agency providing senior citizens and persons with disabilities with information, guidance and assistance in coordinating existing resources to promote independence and the highest quality of life.

What it reported doing in 2024

The Organization provides numerous grant and donation funded programs which benefit local seniors. This includes the ombudsman program, which consists of concerned community members who are willing to advocate for the right and dignity of rsidents in nursing homes and community care facilities. The Organization also provides housing navigation services, which assist with online research, applications, and the coordination of services. The shared housing program matches seniors in need of a housemate with vetted individuals that can assist with non-medical housing and companionship needs.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 99% 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
