The existing units include thirteen 13 independent living carriage homes, forty-eight (48) Independent Living apartments, thirty-two (32) nursing home beds and forty-six (46) personal care beds, which includes a fourteen (14) bed dementia unit (Woodside) and six (6) private suites. All the units are located in one building. In January, 2016 the Attorney General signed off on the Affiliation between Presbyterian SeniorCare and Shenango Presbyterian SeniorCare. On March 26, 1970, Shenango Presbyterian SeniorCare was determined by the Internal Revenue Service of the U. S. Treasury Department to be a charitable organization and therefore, exempt from Federal Income Tax under Section 501(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code. In January of 2008 a Contribution in Lieu of Real Estate Taxes Agreement was adopted. In July of 2015 it is ordered, adjudged and decreed that Shenango is and be exempt from payment of real property tax to any taxing authority. Shenango Presbyterian SeniorCare is a "mission unit" of the Shenango Presbytery in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). The Shenango Presbytery is a regional governing unit of that national ecclesiastical denomination, and has jurisdiction over Presbyterian congregations and agencies in Lawrence and Mercer Counties. Since 2018, Shenango has partnered Masterpiece Living, a multi-specialty group that currently partners with more than 80 organizations nationwide in order to maximize the potential of older adults. Through the partnership, Shenango accesses research and tools that provide opportunities for each of its residents, and the community as a whole, to measure progress against four key dimensions of successful living - spiritual, intellectual, physical and social. Shenango on the Green supports resident-driven programs, activities and events in an independent living environment, while providing a continuum of care, including personal care, skilled nursing, dementia-care and rehabilitation services. In 2016, Shenango on the Green achieved CARF accreditation in three program areas: Person-Centered Long-Term Care Community, Dementia Care Specialty, and Assisted Living. A Person-Centered Long-Term Care Community, according to CARF, "is a place where persons served want to live, people want to work, and both choose to stay." It's a community that focuses on cultural competence and offers persons served autonomy, flexibility and security. CARF defines a Dementia Care Specialty Program as one that delivers services focused on the unique and changing physical, cognitive, communication, emotional, psychosocial, behavioral, occupational, medical, palliative, educational, environmental, and leisure/recreational needs of persons with dementia. Under CARF, the Assisted Living accreditation also encompasses personal care communities and is defined as "a residential program that provides meals, housing, and a range of hospitality and personal care services for adults of all ages in a supportive and safe home-like setting." Additionally, as part of Presbyterian SeniorCare Network, Shenango on the Green attained accreditation under CARF's new Network standards. Introduced in 2016, the "Network" standards were implemented by CARF in order to "support networks' development toward continuity of services among multiple providers and to support quality when a legal entity does not own all participating providers within its network."Shenango on the Green always has been committed to providing welcoming and respectful environments for everyone. As an affiliate of Presbyterian SeniorCare, Shenango on the Green participates in education and awareness efforts that are offered to foster diversity, equity and inclusion, which betters position the organization to serve an increasingly diverse aging population and to appropriately engage and support an increasingly diverse workforce.
