Many people may questions why a retirement community
needs contributions. They charge high enough prices
they should not need outside help! The fact is that most
Americans do not realize the limitations of government
funding programs, the large number of residents that no
longer can afford their care and the expense of extensive
medical services now common in long-term care facilities.

needs contributions. They charge high enough prices

Americans do not realize the limitations of government
funding programs, the large number of residents that no
longer can afford their care and the expense of extensive
medical services now common in long-term care facilities.
Did you know that:
- Over 59% of residents in nursing care at
Countryside Christian rely on benevolent care.
- For each of these individuals, this unfunded care
averages $25 per resident each day! That amounts
to $9,125 over a year per resident.
- About 28% of assisted living residents rely on
benevolent care as well.
- For each of these individuals, this unfunded care
averages nearly $62 per resident each day! That
amounts to $22,630 over a year per resident.
- Our Endowment Fund (created and funded by donor
designated contributions to remain invested in
perpetuity) produces enough income to cover only
about half of the benevolent care we provide each
year. Absent of additional contributions, we must
increase our rates each succeeding year to cover
this unfunded Benevolent Care.
- The Medical Assistance program caps the
reimbursement of our capital costs at $26,000 per
nursing care bed. This cap has not been increased
for over 20 years! Combining this severe
underfunding of capital costs with the tremendous
increases in construction costs in recent years
places our planned new nursing facility cost at
$300,000 per bed. . . more than ten times the
maximum amount funded by Medicaid!

Benevolent Care
Gifts given directly to Benevolent Care are used immediately
to help fund the cost of services that are provided to
residents who are unable to cover the full cost of their care.
Though Countryside participates in third party government
funding programs, these resources do not cover the full cost
of the services we provide each day requiring us to rely on
contributions to make up this shortfall.
