Benevolent care keeps residents in their community if they outlive their savings despite careful planning. It’s a promise we make to residents at all three Living Branches communities: if your resources run out, you won’t be asked to leave. You’ll keep living a life of purpose and joy, among the people and places you know.
Over $1 Million Per Year in Benevolent and Unreimbursed Care
About 100 Residents Receive Support in a Typical Year
As seniors live longer, the cost of care can outpace even careful planning. If a resident’s resources have been depleted through no fault of their own, our team works with the resident and their family to ensure the cost of their care is still covered. We call this our benevolent care ministry.
Every prospective resident completes a financial review during the admission process. But no assessment can predict every person’s future – and no resident should be asked to leave simply for outliving their resources.
Generous individuals and businesses contribute to the Living Branches Foundation, which provides benevolent care to residents who can no longer afford their care.
Donors recognize the importance of keeping residents with the friends, neighbors, and caregivers they know and love.

At Living Branches, our roots run deep. Our core values put people before profit, quality of life over efficiency, and personal and community growth above all else. We don’t answer to investors or shareholders. When we plan, the first question isn’t “What’s the financial outlook?” It’s “Is this the right thing to do?”
That doesn’t mean we ignore the numbers. Our board reviews finances at every meeting, and we work to end each year in the black. The difference is where that margin goes. Instead of paying investors, we reinvest it in:
Donors make benevolent care possible – every day, at every Living Branches campus. Your gift to the Living Branches Foundation will support residents in need of benevolent care.
