Mission

SEQUOIA LIVING, INC. WILL, WITHIN ITS HUMAN RESOURCES AND FINANCIAL CAPABILITIES, PROVIDE ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE AND LEADERSHIP TO MEET THE NEEDS AND IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF OLDER PERSONS FROM ALL ECONOMIC LEVELS AND VARIED CULTURAL BACKGROUNDS THROUGH DIVERSIFIED OPERATIONS WHICH OFFER HOUSING AND PROGRAMS OF PHYSICAL, SOCIAL, HEALTH AND SPIRITUAL CARE.

Activities or mission (Part I)

SEQUOIA LIVING, INC. PROVIDES ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE AND LEADERSHIP TO MEET THE NEEDS AND IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF OLDER PERSONS BY OFFERING HOUSING AND PROGRAMS.

  • CONTINUING CARE RETIREMENT COMMUNITIES:SEQUOIA LIVING, INC. PROVIDES APARTMENTS, MEALS, LAUNDRY, HOUSEKEEPING, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL ACTIVITIES, AND MEDICAL CARE FOR AROUND 908 RESIDENTS. NEARLY ALL OCCUPANTS HAVE EXECUTED LIFE CARE RESIDENCE AND CARE AGREEMENTS THAT GIVE THEM ACCESS TO ASSISTED LIVING, DEMENTIA CARE, AND SKILLED NURSING IF NEEDED AS THEY AGE AND BECOME FRAILER. A MAJOR PROBLEM FOR THE ELDERLY IS ISOLATION AND DEPRESSION CAUSED BY ECONOMIC, SOCIAL, AND PHYSICAL BARRIERS TO PARTICIPATION IN ACTIVITIES AND CIVIC LIFE. CONTINUING CARE COMMUNITIES REMOVE THESE BARRIERS AND FACILITATE THE ACTIVE ENGAGEMENT OF RESIDENTS. THEY ALSO SMOOTH OUT DIFFICULT AND DISRUPTIVE TRANSITIONS OCCASIONED WHEN PEOPLE NEED HIGHER LEVELS OF PROFESSIONAL ASSISTANCE. IN THE EVENT THAT A RESIDENT RUNS SHORT OF RESOURCES TO COVER THE COST OF CARE, SEQUOIA LIVING WILL WORK WITH THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES AND THROUGH ITS FOUNDATION, WILL SUBSIDIZE EXPENSES SO THAT RESIDENTS ARE NOT FORCED TO MOVE.

    Expenses $108,272,580 · Revenue $102,679,946

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, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — 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.
