American Baptist Homesof the MidwestCreating healthy Christian communities that empower people.

Community Benefit Summary 2014

The mission of American Baptist Homesof the Midwest began 85 years agoas, "charitable, educational and religious for the

physical and spiritual care of those persons

who, by reason of age, physical or mental

condition, financial condition or dependency,

experience difficulty in adequately providing for

their own well being." Today, American Baptist

Homes of the Midwest (ABHM) has grown and

developed into a vital, dynamic ministry serving

1,407 people and employing 1,444 people in 7

retirement communities, 45 group homes and 1

subsidized housing community located in WI, MN,

IA, NE, SD, and CO.

The vitality of ABHM is reflected in the following

strategic initiatives that are currently underway:

• Renovation and expansion of seven ABHM

communities in WI, MN, SD, IA, NE and CO

@$61MM. Construction began in 2014 and is

scheduled for completion in 2015.

• A 2014 mission re-statement and re-

commitment to “Create healthy Christian

communities that empower older adults,

families and people with disabilities. Provide

choices for housing, services and technology

that enrich body, mind and spirit.”

• A 2014 re-affirmation of our six core values

(Christian foundation, truth, respect and

dignity, quality, stewardship and diversity).

• A rebranding initiative to meet the changing

needs and expectations of our customers that

includes new logos, marketing strategies, and

programmatic opportunities.

ABHM’s empowerment model is based on a

holistic approach to wellness that offers choices

to people as their needs may change over time.

From a programmatic standpoint that means

providing an integrated continuum of housing,

service and technology options that enable

people to live life to the fullest and in the

manner they choose despite their physical,

mental, emotional, spiritual or financial

condition. That integrated continuum includes a

menu of options for independent senior living,

short term rehabilitative services, longer term

memory support, assisted living and skilled

nursing care, group homes and supportive living

services for the develop-mentally disabled, and

low income housing for families and seniors.

Every day we provide health care, housing and

supportive services to people of many ages,

cultures and conditions, but our Christian

heritage calls us to reach out in ways that also

benefit the greater communities in which we live

and work. This Community Benefit Report

documents how we have fulfilled those

responsibilities and responded to community

need in ways that are not self-sustaining and

must be financed through philanthropic

contributions, volunteer efforts and other

programmatic subsidies. It is all of those

interdependent relationships that create healthy

Christian communities.

I encourage you to learn more about that good

work by reviewing this report and visiting our

website at www.abhomes.net for a virtual tour of

our communities. I also encourage you to

contact us or visit an ABHM community to learn

more about how we may serve you or someone

that you know, or how you may help us to create

healthy Christian communities that empower

people.

Sincerely,

Dave Zwickey

ABHM President and CEO

ABHM provided approximately $3,139,000 in community benefits during 2014. Those benefits primarily reflect direct benevolence and discounts below the cost of care and services

provided to the indigent members of our communities. However, ABHM also gave back to the greater

community by supporting research, education, nutrition, preventative health and wellness, religious

services, the arts, and many other initiatives and events. All of that work reflects our core value to base

not only our beliefs but also our decisions and actions upon a strong foundation of Christian principles.
