Overview

Mission

To share christ's love as we serve the spiritual, physical, intellectual and emotional needs of people entrusted to our care and others whose lives we touch.

What it reported doing in 2023

The organization provides an extensive array of services that promote wellness and have adopted a person-centric model of health care that honors personal wishes and empowers individual success. Services are tailored to meet the unique support needs of each person. Our private room community offers transitional care, wellness and rehabilitative therapies, long-term care and respite and adult day care programs. Caregivers work diligently to ensure each resident receives the highest quality experience available - physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and expenses are high relative to revenue.
