Overview

Mission

Visiting Ours is a non-profit service that enables families and friends to video-chat with their elderly loved ones, whether they live independently or in assisted living, nursing home or hospice. Our aides are equipped with laptop computers and mobile Internet connections. They visit the homes as scheduled by families and initiate virtual visits on Skype, Google, Apple Facetime or Yahoo.

What it reported doing in 2013

Visiting Ours, Inc. had 18 paid assisted Skype sessions for three residents at three senior communities. After trying hard to obtain secure agreements the non-profit voted to dissolve.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
