“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 four 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 2024 (july 1, 2023, to june 30, 2024), phoebe provided $17,258,069 in charity care for our residents. This amount is a decrease of $989,778 from the prior fiscal year. We remain committed to our residents no matter their financial circumstances. Those who receive charitable care can 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 1,300 individuals in fiscal year 2023-2024. 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 ranged in age from 14 to 93 years old. Phoebe partners with individuals, corporations, and organizations to attract volunteers. In an ordinary year, phoebe works with approximately 300 volunteers who help facilitate resident activities, office work, chaplain duties, events, 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 2024, the pia awarded scholarships of up to $1,500 to eight employees who are continuing their education and are available to clinical and services staff members at phoebe.
