What it reported doing in 2024

Across the spectrum of our programs and services, village shalom is committed to a philosophy of providing care that supports the highest level of independence for an individual. Moreover, we are committed to providing seniors with the highest quality care regardless of their level of need, from basic retirement living to full nursing care, and regardless of their ability to pay. For over 100 years, village shalom has provided exceptional long-term care for seniors in the greater Kansas city area. We are pleased to be able to offer tailored programs and services to seniors in an award-winning innovative environment that provides maximum independence to our residents. Village shalom is, and remains, a leader within the senior living care industry. Village shalom commits time and resources and retains outstanding professionals devoted to developing new and innovative services that enrich the lives of seniors regardless of economic resources. Nearly forty percent of the residents at village shalom are recipients of more than $1.8 million in financial assistance. Our financial assistance program accomplishes our mission by ensuring all residents, even those who have exhausted their financial resources, or have come to us with no resources, are provided 24/7 nursing care, therapies, prescription management, engaging programming, individualized and group wellness opportunities, customized meals per dietary restrictions, and a safe and secure place to call home. Their dignity, privacy, and long-term care are our primary concern. No resident has ever been asked to leave due to the inability to pay for the cost of their care. This is unique in senior living and a point of pride for village shalom.the organization provides services to residents who meet certain criteria under its benevolent care policy at amounts less than its established rates. Because the organization does not pursue collection of amounts determined to qualify as benevolent care, the amounts are not reported as revenue.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 91% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% 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

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.
