“Each voting member of the board of trustees has the power and right to elect new members to the board of trustees.”

“The organization's federal form 990 was provided to the treasurer of the organization's board of trustees for review prior to filing with the internal revenue service ("irs"). Thereafter, the form 990 was provided to each member of the organization's finance committee for review prior to filing with the irs. The reformed church home board of trustees has delegated to the executive committee the responsibility to oversee, review and approve of the federal form 990, including the preparation, review and filing process. As part of the tax return preparation process the organization hired a professional cpa firm with experience and expertise in both healthcare and not-for-profit tax return preparation to prepare the federal form 990. The cpa firm's tax professionals worked closely with the organization's finance personnel and internal working group to obtain the information needed in order to prepare a complete and accurate tax return. The cpa firm prepared a draft federal form 990 and furnished it to the organization's finance personnel and internal working group for review. The organization's finance personnel and internal working group reviewed the draft federal form 990 and discussed questions and comments with the cpa firm. Revisions were made to the draft federal form 990 where necessary and a final draft was furnished by the cpa firm to the organization for final review and approval prior to presentation of the federal form 990 to the treasurer of the organization's board of trustees and, thereafter, to the organization's finance committee.”

“The organization regularly monitors and enforces compliance with its conflict of interest policy. Annually all members of the board of trustees, officers and senior management personnel are required to review the existing conflict of interest policy and complete a questionnaire. The completed questionnaires are returned to the secretary of the organization's board of trustees for review. Thereafter the secretary prepares a summary of the completed questionnaires which contains information disclosed on an individual-by individual basis. The secretary then presents this summary to the executive committee for its review and discussion.”

“The organization's board of trustees has a personnel committee ("committee"). The committee has adopted a written executive compensation philosophy which it follows when it reviews and approves of the compensation and benefits of the reformed church home's senior management, including the administrator. The committee reviews the "total compensation" of the individuals which is intended to include both current and deferred compensation and all employee benefits, both qualified and non-qualified. The committee's review is done on at least an annual basis and ensures that the "total compensation" of senior management of the organization is reasonable. The committee presents its recommended "total compensation" to the organization's executive committee for its review and approval. The executive committee has the responsibility to review and approve the personnel committee's recommendations and to then present this to the organization's full board of trustees for its review and approval. The actions taken by the committee enable the organization to receive the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness for purposes of internal revenue code section 4958 with respect to the total compensation of certain members of the senior management team, including the administrator. The three factors which must be satisfied in order to receive the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness are the following: 1. The compensation arrangement is approved in advance by an "authorized body" of the applicable tax-exempt organization which is composed entirely of individuals who do not have a "conflict of interest" with respect to the compensation arrangement; 2. The authorized body obtained and relied upon "appropriate data as to comparability" prior to making its determination; and 3. The authorized body "adequately documented the basis for its determination" concurrently with making that determination.the committee is comprised of members of the board of trustees each of who are independent and are free from any conflicts of interest. The committee relied upon appropriate comparable data; specifically the committee obtained a written compensation study from an independent firm which specializes in the reviewing of healthcare executive compensation and benefits throughout the united states. This study used comparable geographic and demographic market data including but not limited to similar sized homes, # of licensed beds and net patient service revenue. The committee adequately documented its basis for its determination through the timely preparation of written minutes of the personnel committee meetings during which the executive compensation and benefits was reviewed and subsequently approved. The actions outlined above with respect to the committee and the establishment of the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness only applies to certain senior management personnel, including but not limited to the administrator. The compensation and benefits of certain other individuals contained in this form 990 are reviewed annually by the administrator with assistance from organization's human resources department in conjunction with the individual's job performance during the year and is based upon other objective factors designed to ensure that reasonable and fair market value compensation is paid by the organization. Other objective factors include market survey data for comparable positions, individual goals and objectives, personnel reviews, evaluations, self-evaluations and performance feedback meetings.

“The form 990 is distributed to the board prior to filing with the IRS.”

“History ======= in 1890, dr. Henry reichert, a presbyterian minister in newark, became convinced of the need for a home for the aged. His diligent leadership led to the formation of the bethany home for the aged in 1902 on land in irvington. This was the first home for the aged established by a church group. Many local churches supported this bethany home for the aged for many years through various stages of growth. Right from its inception, the home was too small. When denominations began to establish their own homes in the twenties and thirties, the bethany home persevered through a period of hard financial times. In august of 1998, the irvington site was closed and a move was made to a newly constructed facility in old bridge, which is situated on 15 acres of ground. The beautiful and tranquil park-like setting offers outdoor enjoyment to residents and visitors all year long. The grounds also include a quarter-mile walking path, patios, and outside flower and herb gardens where residents can enjoy the beauty of nature. Both assisted living and skilled nursing care are offered in old bridge.
