Programs
The intermediate care facility is a licensed facility that provides care and treatment for individuals with developmental delays and certain developmental disabilities. Its primary purpose is to provide health and rehabilitation services to individuals with developmental delays or related conditions receiving care and services under the medicaid program. The program operates five six-bed and one eight-bed community residential and icf/mr facilities. It recognizes the developmental, social and behavioral needs of individuals with developmental delays that live in a residental setting by requiring each individual to receive active treatment. Active treatment means the aggressive, consistent implementation of a program of specialized and generic training, treatment, health and related services directed toward the acquisition of the behaviors necessary for an individual to function with as much self-determination and independence as possible. It includes the prevention or deceleration of regression or loss of current optimal functional status.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $2.3M to $3.6M (+58%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2022 16%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
0% of CAROBELL INC’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (81% for the typical peer).

1 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 1% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of CAROBELL INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
CAROBELL INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 58% of grant income and the top three 97%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
85% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund CAROBELL INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 75% · 2018 100% · 2019 55% · 2020 54% · 2021 78% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — growing more concentrated.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $447 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
