Not-for-Profit facilities have long been recognized as having a tradition of serving the needs of older persons. One important aspect of the Not-for-Profit is that any surplus income that is generated is turned back into the facility, either to improve or expand the services they provide. The not-for-profit approach to aging services places emphasis on providing an atmosphere of fellowship and caring; on meeting the social, physical, and spiritual needs of the individual; and on helping seniors achieve the dignity and quality of life that they deserve in their retirement years. The emphasis on caring and on placing the need of the individual above all else has become the hallmark of not-for-profit homes and services for the aging.

   Southmayd Home is a member of two organizations which promote the not-for-profit difference in long-term care. Connecticut Association of Not-for-Profit Providers For the Aging (CANPFA) and the American Association of Homes and Services for the Aging (AAHSA).

   CANPFA’s provider members include not-for-profit residential care homes such as Southmayd Home, nursing homes, subsidized senior housing, adult day centers, elder care service providers, home health care agencies, assisted living facilities and continuing care retirement communities. Its members care for more than 15,000 seniors in their facilities in Connecticut with about 10,000 full and part-time employees working for member organizations.

   AAHSA and its members are committed to maintaining and expanding the Not-for-Profit Difference in aging services through research, advocacy and education. AAHSA's commitment is to create the future of aging services through quality people can trust.
