2009 ANNUAL REPORT
Dear Friends:
Even as Evangelical Homes of Michigan continues to create communities and change
lives, we also provide care and support to those in the communities in which we
work and live. In order for us to stay true to ourselves, it is important that we reach
further outside ourselves and support those who need us. While our economy
has been through dramatic changes over the past year, the needs of older adults
continue to increase. As a not-for-profit organization, our success is defined by
how we reach out and give back to our local communities as well as by the success
of our key strategic indicators. On many of our new marketing materials you will
see the image of hands holding a butterfly. The butterfly is a powerful symbol for
transformation. We celebrate transformation as part of our primary mission — to
define Evangelical Homes of Michigan by broadening our reach and creating a
dynamic and ever changing array of programs and services.
In addition to our community outreach services, we have grown our continuum of
services to include our new Memory Support Center at Brecon Village. This 33,000
square foot center is the first of its kind in our area and provides specialized care to
those facing the challenges of dealing with memory loss. The need for this specialty
care has grown in demand and we were blessed with the resources to provide such a
service. The opening of the new community is a celebration of hope and support to
the families that we will touch each day.

Support Center
Grand Opening
It is our duty as a not-for-profit organization to provide exceptional mission-driven
care as well as to be financially accountable to ensure a stable future for all of the
lives that we touch. Integrity, transparency and accountability are integral parts
of our key strategic initiatives. We continue to adapt and adjust in order to ensure
future growth and innovation. As we strive to give exceptional care, we are driven
by giving to others in need.
You will be enriched in every way for your great generosity, which will produce
thanksgiving to God through us; for the rendering of this ministry not only
supplies the needs of the saints but also overflows with many thanksgivings
to God. (Corinthians 9: 11–12)
May we remain steadfast on our path of great generosity!
Blessings Always,

“If Evangelical Homes of Michigan
disappeared tomorrow, would anyone notice?”
When a consultant asked that question in 2003, it started
a discussion of the impact Evangelical Homes has made
on the wider community. And the answer to the question
turned out to be a resounding yes!—Evangelical Homes
of Michigan would be missed. In the fiscal year just
ended, we:
• S erved nearly 2,000 individuals and their families by
providing more than 44,600 days of care in residential
settings and more than 12,700 visits in home health care.
• Provided more than $2.1 million of unreimbursed
charitable care and services to residents.
• Residents received almost 12,000 hours of loving
attention from volunteers.
• Invested more than $3 million improving our health
care communities.
• Prepared more than 10,700 home-delivered meals.
• Held flu shot clinics at 15 churches through our
Church Ambassador Program and administered 700
vaccines. An additional 50 doses were donated to a
homeless shelter.
• Employed more than 1,000 individuals paying nearly
$24 million in wages and benefits, including nearly
$1.4 million in employer paid health insurance
premiums and $406,000 in retirement benefits.
• Provided a training site for 139 student nurses and
other interns and provided more than $17,000 in
tuition assistance to staff.
• Provided for the training and education of direct care
staff at a cost of nearly $26,000.
If Evangelical Homes of Michigan disappeared tomorrow,
would anyone notice? The answer is the same—a
resounding yes! We touch the lives of thousands of
people and help make our world a better place to live.
We lovingly contributed more than $87,000 of financial
support, material support and servant leadership to charities

Evangelical Homes of Michigan Dedicates the
Memory Support Center at Brecon Village
After two years of planning, fundraising and construction, Evangelical Homes of Michigan
was proud to hold a Grand Opening Celebration and Dedication of the Memory Support
Center at Brecon Village on Sunday, September 20, 2009. We opened our specialty center
for tours, a ribbon cutting ceremony and special keynote speaker Michael Skupin from
Survivor: The Australian Outback. Nearly 400 of our friends, families, colleagues and
community members attended the event and saw for themselves what makes this new
service the first of its kind in southeast Michigan.
The Memory Support Center was designed to meet the needs of residents, day program
participants, caregivers and the community-at-large, and to provide support through the
many stages of memory loss. Our specialized caregivers gear daily activities, support, and
care to meet each individual’s needs.
Located on the campus of Brecon Village in Saline, the new Memory Support Center
includes private apartment suites, four technologically enhanced cottages, adult day
services (available 7 days a week), a resource library, specially designed gardens and all of
the amenities and services the community has come to expect from Evangelical Homes
of Michigan. We did extensive research to identify special program enhancements that
combine the offering of exceptional care and innovative technologies, while offering
residents a secure environment, individualized programs, medical and social support,
and meaningful activities. VantagePoint-Special Edition |4| www.evangelicalhomes.org

Jim Alspach Receives
Rev. C. W. F. Haass Award
The Board of Directors of Evangelical
Homes of Michigan is pleased to announce
that Mr. Jim Alspach has been awarded
the 2009 Rev. C.W.F. Haass Award.
When Jim Alspach relocated to Michigan
in 1989, he became acquainted with and
involved in Salem United Church of Christ
in Farmington. Through that involvement,
he became familiar with Evangelical
Homes of Michigan. The Rev. Dr. Lowell Schrupp, a fellow church
member and Evangelical’s former Executive Director, invited
Jim to consider filling a seat on the Board of Directors, which he
joined in 2004.
Jim Alspach has been involved in a number of business
enterprises over the years, and it was his business skills that were
seen as an asset to the future development of Evangelical Homes
of Michigan. However, Jim’s philosophy as a member of the
Board, just as an operator of a business, meant that one needed
to understand the operations of the organization, to be involved
and be able to educate fellow Board members and interpret
Evangelical’s mission to people in the community.
As a member of the Board, and most recently the Past Chair,
Jim Alspach not only had frequent and regular meetings with
Denise Rabidoux, President and CEO, but he also went on his
own to visit the communities operated by Evangelical Homes
of Michigan. He even accompanied home care staff on visits
during his vacation time. His goal was to be the most informed
member of the Board.

The C.W.F. Haass Award is a philanthropic award given to those
people who have exhibited exemplary financial and personal
commitment to the mission and core values of Evangelical
Homes of Michigan. The award pays tribute to the memory
of Rev. Haass, a church leader whose leadership and
advocacy led to the financial stability of Evangelical Homes
of Michigan during the late 1800’s, by honoring those
persons who share his commitment that Evangelical
Homes of Michigan continues to meet the needs of
those in need in southeast Michigan.
Jim has supported Evangelical Homes of Michigan
with his gifts of time, talent and financial support,
and we are grateful for his leadership.

A SPECIAL message FROM
EVANGELICAL HOMES OF MICHIGAN
Our precious friends of Evangelical Homes of Michigan,
We are so very grateful to our growing number of donors, who contributed
over $556,000 in gifts and pledges during fiscal year 2008–09. Your loyalty and
commitment to serving the residents and clients of Evangelical Homes of Michigan is
unwavering and we truly appreciate your gifts.
Last year we received more than 1,000 donations from 780 donors, half of
whom were first time donors and half of whom returned as donors from
a previous year. We are very grateful for those of you who continue
Our Honor
to make Evangelical Homes of Michigan a priority for your
charitable contributions each year.
Roll of Generosity
begins on the
following page and
recognizes gifts made
May 1, 2008 –
April 30, 2009
Private support makes a big difference in our ability to bridge
the gap between government subsidies and the cost to provide
care. During fiscal year 2009, we provided charitable care
amounting to more than $2 million, while investing
$6.6 million in building our new Memory Support Center
and $3 million invested in general capital expenses. These
numbers demonstrate our commitment to maintaining affordable
residential care and community services, while developing
innovative programs for our constituents in order to improve quality
of life for all.
At the time of this printing, our separate capital campaign for the Memory Support
Center at Brecon Village has reached more than $1,622,000 and exceeded our first
goal of $1.6 million. These gifts from more than 420 donors have spanned three
fiscal years. Thank you so much for helping to bring this exciting new center to our
community. We are continuing to raise the final $378,000 to complete the campaign
during our current fiscal year.
Finally, the volunteers who have helped us tell our story and raise these donations include
nearly 80 individuals from churches, local communities, and residents and their families. For
your volunteerism, support, hard work, dedicated leadership and faith in our ability to fulfill
our mission, we thank you from the depths of our hearts.
We confidently look forward to increased philanthropic support that will help bring
continued and increased services to older adults and their families in southeast Michigan.

Recognizing legacy gifts
Over the years, we have benefited from the generosity of individuals and families who have
thoughtfully included a gift to Evangelical Homes of Michigan through a gift from their estate.
Individuals who have made plans to designate a future gift to Evangelical Homes of Michigan
through a bequest, a charitable gift annuity, or as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy or
retirement plan are recognized as members of the Zoar Legacy Society.
The Zoar Society was formed in 1879 to support the work of Evangelical Homes, particularly
the Zoar Home for orphans in Detroit. The name “Zoar” has a biblical origin, connoting a place
of refuge and safety. It is fitting that today the Zoar Legacy Society recognizes the generosity
of individuals who have made future gifts ensuring that Evangelical Homes of Michigan
will continue its mission of providing places of refuge, safety and compassionate care for
generations to come.
