PRESENCE LIFE CONNECTIONS

THE FILING ORGANIZATION IS A PART OF THE ASCENSION CATHOLIC HEALTH MINISTRY. ASCENSION IS A FAITH-BASED HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATION THAT DELIVERS PERSONALIZED, COMPASSIONATE CARE TO ALL, ESPECIALLY TO THOSE WHO NEED IT THE MOST. PRESENCE LIFE CONNECTIONS (PLC) MAXIMIZES DIGNITY AND INDEPENDENCE OF THE RESIDENTS THEY SERVE. ROOTED IN THE CATHOLIC TRADITION OF CARING, AS A CORPORATE MEMBER OF ASCENSION LIVING, OUR COMMUNITY IS CONTINUALLY DEVELOPING AND ADOPTING NEW BEST PRACTICES IN CARE THAT ENHANCE THE EXPERIENCE OF OUR RESIDENTS, PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS AND PATIENTS. THE STAFF IS COMMITTED TO PROMOTING THE WELL-BEING OF THOSE WE SERVE THROUGH THE DELIVERY OF QUALITY CARE. PLC INCLUDES MULTIPLE SKILLED NURSING FACILITIES (SNF) AND MULTIPLE CAMPUSES THAT PROVIDE ASSISTED LIVING (AL) AND INDEPENDENT LIVING (IL). PLC PARTICIPATES AS A PROVIDER OF SERVICES UNDER BOTH MEDICARE AND MEDICAID PROGRAMS. SERVICES INCLUDE NURSING & ANCILLARY SERVICES PROVIDED TO RESIDENTS. PLC HAS A TOTAL OF 490 LICENSED BEDS AND 690 TOTAL AVAILABLE BEDS INCLUDING SKILLED, SHELTER CARE, ASSISTED/INDEPENDENT LIVING, MEMORY CARE, AND SUPPORTIVE/COMMUNITY LIVING. SKILLED NURSING DAYS WERE 110,260; ASSISTED/INDEPENDENT LIVING DAYS INCLUDING 2ND PERSON DAYS WERE 36,221; MEMORY CARE DAYS WERE 2,976; SUPPORTIVE/COMMUNITY LIVING WERE 9,910; AND ADULT DAY CARE (ADC) DAYS WERE 3,147. ALTHOUGH REIMBURSEMENT FOR SERVICES RENDERED IS CRITICAL TO THE OPERATIONS AND STABILITY OF THE ORGANIZATION, AS A CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION, IT IS RECOGNIZED THAT NOT ALL PERSONS POSSESS THE ABILITY TO PURCHASE ESSENTIAL SERVICES NEEDED FOR CARE AND OUR MISSION IS TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY WITH RESPECT TO PROVIDING HEALTH CARE SERVICES.
