Explanation
PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Form 990, Part III, Question 4A
Appletree Court was incorporated as a 501(c)(3) independent, income-based, senior housing unit in 1998. This 20 apartment complex was established to provide clean, comfortable, safe, and affordable housing for elderly, low-income residents of the Breckenridge community. Appletree Court's 11-member Board of Directors and the Director oversee the operations of the housing complex and provide reduced rents to its tenants. The rent on the apartments is adjusted based on each tenant's income. If the rent is less than the Housing and Urban Development (HUD) established minimum, $360, HUD makes up the difference. However, $360 is less than the market rate for similar housing developments in our community, thus allowing the tenants to live in housing of a higher quality than they could otherwise afford. Appletree Court also provides social and recreational activities for the tenants of the complex. In addition, Appletree Court provides meeting space free of charge to several health-related community groups, such as weight loss, grief support, etc. Tenants are also encouraged to use the community areas free of charge. The value of the services provided through Appletree Court this year was over $13,730 and benefited 1,378 people.

FORM 990, PART VI, Question 15A&B
The organization's CEO's compensation is paid by CHI. CHI has a defined compensation philosophy. Both the executive and non-executive compensation structures and ranges are reviewed annually in comparison to market data. CHI uses The Hay Group as the independent third party to assess executive compensation programs and to ensure the reasonableness of actual salaries and total compensation packages. Compensation of the senior most executives is reviewed annually. The Hay Group reviews both cash and total compensation for overall reasonableness, for adherence to CHI's compensation philosophy, and for comparability to the not-for-profit healthcare market. This independent review is delivered by Hay Group to the HR committee of the CHI Board of Stewardship Trustees annually at their September meeting and minutes are shared with the full board at the December meeting. The last review was September 2011. In addition, in December 2009, Hay Group completed a comprehensive review of all positions at the level of vice president and above to determine and validate appropriate compensation levels.
