Vincentian needs the support of our community more than ever before, having delivered over $11 million in uncompensated benevolent care to Pittsburgh-area older adults regardless of their ability to pay, in each of the last three years.

Nearly 50% of Vincentian’s long-term skilled nursing residents qualify for medical assistance. These vulnerable seniors need quality care; however, the government reimbursement falls short of the cost for Vincentian to deliver care today. This deficit of $20 per minute for each Medicaid-eligible resident adds up quickly, compounding across multiple older adults and days of care needed, sometimes until the end of life. Vincentian is unable to cover this multimillion-dollar gap of uncompensated benevolent care alone without the generosity of the community.

Vincentian was founded in 1924 as the “Home for the Incurables,” a nonprofit dedicated to caring for vulnerable Pittsburgh-area community members. The mission to provide care to those in need, regardless of ability to pay, remains unchanged.
