“An independent cpa firm prepares and reviews form 990 and related schedules. The return is then reviewed by the senior vice president and then provided to the finance committee of the board of directors for review and questions. Any changes requested are made by the accounting firm and all questions and issues are resolved prior to filing the 990.”

“The board members and officers are required to complete a conflict of interest statement annually that covers the board of directors and officers. If a transaction could result in a potential conflict of interest, the proposed transaction is reviewed and voted on by either the board of directors or by a committee of the board of directors. However, an interested person or outside advisor may make presentations to the board or committee to deliberate the transaction arrangement that may result in a conflict of interest. In cases of potential conflicts, the conflicted board member(s) refrain from participating in discussions and the voting process. Periodic reviews are conducted.”

“The compensation of the ceo is reviewed and approved at the board level. Compensation is set based on comparable data for clo related services. Bonus compensation is established by the compensation committee and board of directors, based on services rendered and new services established.”

“Ilink technologies: ilink technologies exists because good care happens when that care is integrated with real life, on-demand, at the moment and place that needs occur. Since 1999, goodlife has been developing ilink technologies and is empowering aging adults and individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (i/dd) to live as independently as possible by combining smart home hardware and ilink's proprietary cloud software with intuitive support systems. The us has a growing number of seniors (10k turn 65 every day), people with i/dd, traumatic head injuries, physical disabilities, mental health challenges, or degenerative conditions (like ms) experience barriers to living independent, healthy, and fulfilling lives in their own homes. Many cannot access or afford the in-home support they need to overcome these barriers because their needs are intermittent and/or unpredictable. Sadly, too many are having to trade 15% need for 100% care--this is not affordable, practical, or sustainable. Also, the direct care workforce has been in crisis for decades due to: -high turnover (75% to 100% annually) -high call-offs (15% to 20% of scheduled shifts) -virtually a non-existent pipeline of new staff -chronic shift openings -hard-to-fill schedules -direct support professionals (dsps) working alone without supervision -low pay -lack of effective training -increasingly challenging populations of need (e.g. Medically fragile, complex behavioral needs and/or co-occurring mental health diagnoses) -high reliance on part-time and substitute staffing pools (over 30% of all positions) -an increase in jobs that offer better pay and working conditions (after covid, there have been dramatic increases in remote work opportunities that offered more work/life balance). Seniors, persons with i/dd, and other populations want to live typical lives, as independently as possible, in the community and need in-home and in-community support. Federal/state policy and shifts in funding reinforce this vision. Unfortunately, traditional "in-home care" approaches are not affordable or viable solutions for supporting most people who need care in their homes because: 1. Care needs are in termittent and unpredictable. 2. Home care ratios are high (typically one-on-one), and we don't have enough caregivers or money to deliver them. 3. In-home caregivers work alone, yet they often need help, support/relief, and supervision, but there isn't an effective way to give it. This is even more concerning for people who have complex behavioral/health needs. We all strive for a good life: a nice home in a safe neighborhood, an active and healthy lifestyle with interesting things to do, a close circle of friends, a sense of purpose, empowerment, and control. Unfortunately, far too many people with intellectual, developmental, and age-related disabilities have been forced to trade the lifestyles they want for the care and support they need because care models aren't designed to provide both. We need a more effective way to sustainably deliver affordable, safe, and dependable in-home care that enriches the lives of people with complex needs. We firmly believe that advanced technology will be used to empower the next generation of care.”

“Over the last 25 years, goodlife has worked with talented faculty and doctoral students from ku/abs, to develop next generation service models fueled by an integrated infrastructure of intelligent ilink technologies. These technology-enabled service approaches are redefining what's possible for delivering a good life to individuals in small homes and community settings, while advancing independence, person-centered lifestyles, safety, self-direction, and privacy/intrusion. Goodlife's strategies include using dsps and natural caregivers empowered to rapidly deliver care that ebbs and flows organically around needs. Ilink can provide 24-7 virtual in-home support, and real-time access to professional/clinical services, enabling on-demand support and services that are needed to live a good life. Imagine seamless, real-time assistance at the touch of a button. Ilink intelligently monitors for potential risks and alerts trusted caregivers promptly so the right care is delivered at the right time and place. But it's more than just technology: ilink was designed to be integrated into human service models to enhance greater independence, dignity, choice, self-direction, inclusion, safety, and privacy. What is ilink technologies? Ilink technologies is a comprehensive technology infrastructure designed to help community service providers deliver high-quality, next generation care. Ilink is a combination of smart home technologies, intelligent software (ilink assist), and remote support systems that are seamlessly integrated to connect individuals, homes, and neighborhoods to the resources and support provided by hcbs agencies. Ilink's virtual staffing systems can optionally include advanced, self-directed cameras which allow for an infinite range of privacy controls. Where appropriate, ilink can enable remote caregivers to see, hear, feel, communicate and act. Ilink home installs are fully wireless, attractive, and installed in only a few hours. Once installed, ilink residents are able to balance privacy with support and safety, avoiding congregate care and living more affordably with greater independence. With an infrastructure powered by ilink technologies, community providers can remotely monitor safety, behavioral, and health needs; provide life-coaching to support independent living; deploy, supervise, and support in-home caregivers; control home automations; and remotely deliver professional services (such as behavioral/ health/ training support) on demand. Ilink is smart, easy to use, and allows providers to deliver the right care, with a human touch, at the right time. Ilink allows providers to reinvision how they deliver services--cultivating new and affordable human support models that help those with a wide range of needs live better, safer, more private lives in smaller, more inclusive community settings. Ilink assist: ilink assist 3.0 is ilink's intelligent, cloud-based software. Its customizable logic filters out customer-defined events that do-not require support, and alerts remote support professionals to check on the needs that do arise. Ilink assist advances privacy by limiting unnecessary intrusions and improving one's access to their caregiving professionals. Ilink's in-home sensors, optional cameras, intercoms, help pendants, and remote controlled home automations are all integrated with ilink assist. The result? Here are a couple of use-case examples: 1. Ilink assist can alert remote caregivers when terry's stove is on but no one is in the kitchen. It will also send a notification when the stove is turned on, allowing the remote support coach to keep an eye on cooking at a location and provide support if needed. If any of these scenarios require immediate intervention, caregivers can remotely turn the stove off and deploy staff. 2. When sam gets up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom and then returns to bed in a timely manner, this typical behavior won't cause an alert; however, if sam gets up and goes to”
