Following final approval by senior management, the return is made available to the entire board of directors for review. Once this process is complete, the return is filed.”

“Any new employee or board member meeting the definition of interested person is provided a letter regarding their responsibility to disclose any conflicts of interest which include the full policy and the conflict of interest statement for signature. The conflict of interest statement is renewed at the beginning of each fiscal year. The compliance officer reviews all acknowledgement statements for any conflicts of interest. Acknowledgement statements include language regarding family and business relationships as sources of possible conflicts of interest. If a conflict is determined to exist, it will be reviewed by the governing board to determine whether the conflict is acceptable. If a board member has a conflict, he or she would abstain from any votes that were in the area of the conflict. All documents are maintained in the office of the compliance officer.”

“The financial statements are available through the organization's web site and the 990 is posted to the web site guidestar.org. Other documents are made available upon request.”

“The officers of phoebe ministries devote their time to each organization in the group (see schedule r). However, the time needed for each organization varies widely from week to week, month to month, etc., and consequently, it would be extremely difficult to provide an accurate analysis of the approximate time devoted to each entity. Phoebe ministries prefers not to provide information that it cannot substantiate and therefore will list 40 hours per week for each of its officers as an alternative to reporting hours worked for related organizations.”

“Organizational Overview: Phoebe-Devitt Homes (d/b/a Phoebe Ministries) is a not-for-profit, multi-facility charitable organization specializing in healthcare, housing, and support services for older adults. Founded in 1903 as a single Allentown nursing home, Phoebe's ministry now includes four continuing care retirement communities, eight affordable housing facilities, home- and community-based services, and three pharmacies. For more than a century, Phoebe's tradition of excellence and passion for caring have made us the leader in care for senior adults and their family members. Our comprehensive services include skilled nursing care, personal care, independent living, affordable housing, at-home care, short-term and outpatient rehabilitation, mental health services, specialized dementia care, telemedicine for Parkinson's disease patients, and pharmacy services. Phoebe's Charitable Care Benefit for Residents: As people live longer and health care costs increase, charitable care for Phoebe residents is a growing need among residents who have limited personal resources - and those who have exhausted their resources altogether. The total cost for care provided to these residents includes therapies and other medical services, as well as program expenses that are not fully reimbursed by the medical assistance. A large percentage of Phoebe's long-term care residents receive Medicaid. Falling Medicaid reimbursement rates creates a per-resident deficit of $177 every day at Phoebe. This amount quickly adds up and creates an extraordinary need for charity care. Our commitment to providing this care is a demonstration of Phoebe's enduring legacy of care and compassion. In Fiscal Year 2023 (July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023), Phoebe provided $18,247,847 in charity care for our residents. This amount is an increase of $1,553,162 from the prior fiscal year. We remain committed to our residents no matter their financial circumstances. Those who receive charitable care are able to fully receive Phoebe's compassionate, quality care. Phoebe's Workforce Benefit: Phoebe offers our workforce competitive salaries and benefits, as well as opportunities for ongoing growth and education within the health care profession. Currently, Phoebe is offering incentives for new hires and referrals. Phoebe Ministries employed 1,282 individuals in Fiscal Year 2022-2023. Human Resources staff attend and recruit from job fairs and advertise open positions at Lehigh Valley colleges and other universities in the Northeast. Volunteerism at Phoebe: Phoebe's volunteers ranged in age from 14 to 102 years old. Phoebe partners with individuals, corporations, and organizations to attract volunteers. In an ordinary year, Phoebe works with approximately 500 volunteers who help facilitate resident activities, office work, chaplain duties, and much more. Phoebe Institute on Aging (PIA): Founded in 2001, the PIA provides forums for discussion and opportunities for learning, including educational programs, scholarships, cooperative ventures, and outreach activities that promote improved quality of care for older adults. The PIA Advisory Board includes representatives of governmental agencies, hospital and medical personnel, human services providers, area agencies on aging, and faculty from colleges and universities. The PIA spearheaded Dementia-Friendly Lehigh Valley (DFLV), an initiative that addresses the growing population of people exhibiting signs of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. DFLV was granted approval by Dementia Friendly America to become part of its official national community of networks. In Fiscal Year 2023, the PIA awarded scholarships of up to $1,500 to 10 employees who are continuing their education and are available to clinical and services staff members at Phoebe. Phoebe also participates in a Certified Nursing Assistant program with Falcon Institute of Health and Science. The classes and exam are paid for by Phoebe for participating students. Tuition”
