Non-Profit Faith Based Difference
Much has changed since our founding in 1906, but one important fact has not – we remain a non-profit, faith-based organization.
As you consider options for senior living – at any level – it is important to understand how non-profit companies stand out among all of the choices available to you. While we are committed to the highest standards in our business practices, we are focused exclusively on our mission. We believe that our residents, their families, our employees and our communities all benefit from our non-profit status.
Additional positive differences of our non-profit commitment include:
- If we end a year with excess revenue, it is reinvested in the company to improve the quality and breadth of services we offer, rather than distributed to shareholders
- We are governed by a community board, rather than a group of investors
- Strategic decisions are driven based on our mission, not on which strategies would generate profits
- Customer Satisfaction guides our organizational opportunities, rather than stock price
- We can offer our residents more staff, at higher levels with better benefits, to invest more in quality.
