“Organizational overview: phoebe-devitt homes (d/b/a phoebe ministries) is a pennsylvania not-for-profit, multi-facility corporation specializing in healthcare, housing and support services for older adults. Founded in 1903 as a single allentown nursing home, phoebe now serves thousands of seniors each year in seven pennsylvania counties: berks, bucks, lancaster, lehigh, montgomery, northampton, and union. 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, award-winning memory support and dementia services, and pharmacy services. 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. Phoebe's charitable care benefit: phoebe's charitable care totaled more than $12.5 million fiscal year 2017-2018. 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. Phoebe also launched a new customer-driven culture model aimed at putting resident services in the neighborhoods in which they reside. Some of the positive changes our residents and family have seen are an increase in direct care staffing per resident, elimination of our older three- and four-bed rooms, and the decentralization of dining services, which has resulted in a very significant reduction in the use of nutritional supplements. Phoebe remains fully committed to our residents and employs comprehensive charitable care to allow residents to receive uncompromised care even when they exhaust their funds. As people live longer and health care costs increase, charitable care is a growing need. Our commitment to providing this care is a demonstration of phoebe's enduring legacy of care and compassion. Those served by charitable care are able to receive phoebe's quality care and programming, ensuring that each and every resident, no matter their age or ability, can experience innovative services that promote fullness of life.
