What is the value in working with a Nonprofit?
Since day one, our mission has been to do everything in our
power to provide Chicago's seniors with everything they need to
live life to the fullest. The best way to fulfill that mission is
to operate as a nonprofit organization. But what does that mean for
our customers? How does being a nonprofit organization allow us to
give you more service for your money?
Put simply, we can give you more care for every dollar you
spend. Being a nonprofit organization allows us to commit more time
and money to the care that we give, because we don't have to worry
about paying out profits to shareholders. For example, according to
the 2008 Medicaid cost reports filed with the state of Illinois,
Wesley Place spends 32% more money on each patient per
day than the average certified facility in the region.
Consider the following numbers:

It's not just money, but time as well. According to Nursing
Home Care, a data set on medicare.gov, the official U.S. government
site for Medicare, staff at Wesley Place spends almost
16% more time with each patient or resident per
day than the average facility in Illinois. Wesley Place
beats the national average, too.
