Overview

Mission

TRU Community Care provides compassionate, comprehensive care for seniors and families, helping them navigate serious illness, aging, and loss with dignity and support.

What it reported doing in 2024

Tru pace (program of all-inclusive care for the elderly) is an innovative, fully integrated care model that enables frail elders 55 years and older to live as independently as possible in their home and community. Tru pace coordinates and delivers all needed preventive, primary, acute and long term care services so that older individuals who are otherwise eligible for nursing home care are able to continue living safely in the community. Pace programs receive capitated payments through medicare and medicaid, assuming full risk to cover all needed medical, social, physical, and emotional care for every pace participant. Tru pace has a comprehensive network of care providers to ensure seamless and cost-effective service delivery for the unique needs of each frail elder and their family caregivers. The tru pace interdisciplinary team delivers services based out of the tru pace center in lafayette, which includes a day center, rehabilitation gym, and full-service medical clinic. Care plans are customized to the unique needs of every tru pace participant.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 98% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
