Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J

Answered yes

  • 6b · Pay contingent on a related organization's net earnings

Answered no

  • 4a · Severance or change-of-control payment
  • 4b · Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan
  • 4c · Equity-based compensation arrangement
  • 5a · Pay contingent on this organization's revenues
  • 5b · Pay contingent on a related organization's revenues
  • 6a · Pay contingent on this organization's net earnings
  • 7 · Other non-fixed payments
  • 8 · Paid under the initial-contract exception

The filer's explanations (Part III)

PART I, LINE 3
THE CEO'S SALARY IS EVALUATED BY THE RELATED ORGANIZATION'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS ANNUALLY. THE CEO'S BASE SALARY IS DETERMINED USING BENCHMARK MARKET DATA OBTAINED FROM THE HOSPICE SALARY AND BENEFITS REPORT PUBLISHED BY THE HOSPITAL AND HEALTHCARE COMPENSATION SERVICE IN COOPERATION WITH THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR HOMECARE AND HOSPICE. THIS IS THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE SURVEY DONE BY HOSPICE ORGANIZATIONS AND IT IS WIDELY USED. AT THE BEGINNING OF EVERY FISCAL YEAR, THE BOARD CHAIR AND THE CEO JOINTLY DEVELOP QUANTIFIABLE OBJECTIVES TO MEASURE AND EVALUATE THE CEO'S PERFORMANCE. THESE INCLUDE INDICATORS SUCH AS: QUALITY, EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION, EMPLOYEE TURNOVER RATES, VOLUME (AVERAGE DAILY CENSUS) TARGETS, NET MARGIN, AND MEDICATION COST PER DAY. THE ORGANIZATION MAINTAINS A SALARY SCHEDULE FOR ALL EXEMPT AND NON-EXEMPT POSITIONS. COMPENSATION FOR OFFICERS AND OTHER KEY EMPLOYEES IS DETERMINED THROUGH THE USE OF THIS SCHEDULE. EACH IS REVIEWED ANNUALLY BY COMPARING TO BENCHMARKS POSITIONS WITHIN THE HOSPICE MARKET AND RELATED SALARY AND WAGE DATA. WHERE NEEDED, APPROPRIATE, AND FEASIBLE, PAY RANGES MAY BE MODIFIED, WITH BOARD APPROVAL, TO MORE CLOSELY REFLECT THE MARKET. THE PROCESS DESCRIBED HERE WAS LAST COMPLETED IN 2025.
PART I, LINE 6
