“Organizational overview: phoebe-devitt homes (d/b/a phoebe ministries) is a pennsylvania not-for-profit corporation. Phoebe started as a single allentown nursing home in 1903 and now serves almost fifteen thousand seniors annually in seven pennsylvania counties. Phoebe features four continuing care retirement communities, eight affordable housing facilities, home and community-based services and pharmacies. Phoebe's comprehensive services include skilled nursing care, personal care, independent living, in home care coordination, short term and outpatient rehabilitation, mental health services, and award-winning memory support and dementia services. Phoebe's primary service area includes communities in berks, bucks, lehigh, montgomery, northampton, lancaster, and union counties in pennsylvania. Phoebe's charitable care benefit: phoebe's charitable care levels reached a plateau in fy2016 when it exceeded $15 million, a significant increase from just eight years prior when charitable care was $5.4 million in fy2008. In fiscal year 2017, phoebe allentown launched a repositioning project which reduced the number of skilled nursing beds to 270. This was done to improve phoebe's care model and protect the long term sustainability of skilled nursing, one of phoebe's most well-known services. As a result of the repositioning, phoebe started rolling out a new customer driven culture model. Some of the positive changes our residents and family have seen is an increase in direct care staffing per resident, elimination of our older three- and four-bed rooms, and the decentralization of dining services. Essentially we are putting all the services our residents need directly into the neighborhood where they reside. Phoebe remains committed to our residents and employs comprehensive charitable care programming to allow residents to receive uncompromised care even when they exhaust their funds. This is a demonstration of phoebe's enduring legacy of care and compassion. Those served by charitable and benevolent care are able to receive phoebe's quality care and programming, ensuring that each and every person at phoebe is experiencing the joys, comforts, and happiness expected in life. The annual golf tournament is phoebe's biggest fundraising event of the year. The golf tournament typically nets over $100,000 for charitable care at phoebe. Last year, over 250 golfers attended the event and supported phoebe's mission to provide compassionate care to residents, regardless of their ability to pay. Phoebe's workforce benefit: phoebe continues to attract skilled and dedicated employees. We offer competitive salaries, excellent benefits and opportunities for ongoing growth and education within the health care profession. Last year, phoebe ministries continued as a leader in providing jobs to people in the community, employing more than 1,200 individuals. Human resources staff attends and recruits from job fairs and advertises open positions at lehigh valley colleges and other universities in the northeast. Volunteerism at phoebe: phoebe's volunteers range in age from just 14 years old to 102 years old and are trained by phoebe staff for the various activities for which they volunteer.
