Overview

Mission

To provide compassionate hospice and palliative care rooted in Jewish values, serving individuals and families with dignity and support.

What it reported doing in 2024

The hospice serves patients with end of life needs. Services include nursing and physician care, social services, home health care, and Rabbinical (pastoral) services.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 95% of the money available for current operations came from other operating 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
