The Not-For-Profit Difference
There are many choices when you begin to explore and investigate various care and service options for long-term care. Since it is such an important decision, we encourage you to consider all the options and be persistent in having your questions answered. We believe that not-for-profit homes offer many benefits because they provide client focused care, reinvest money into programs and services and operate with only one goal in mind- the well being of the people who live there.

Choosing a not-for-profit home, means you are choosing a residence that is developed by local individuals who understand the needs of the people in their community. These same knowledgeable people are either appointed or elected to sit on boards and committees of management to govern the residence and ensure its accounting, human resource and care provision practices are available to the public. All not-for-profit residences are accountable to funders, the local community, their residents, and other stakeholders who support them. Not-for-profit homes reinvest millions of dollars in donations and government contributions into services and improvements at care facilities. Tens of thousands of people, young and old, volunteer their time to help others and to support the trained professionals caring for seniors who make their home in a not-for-profit residence.
