Concordia Lutheran Ministries Officially Acquires Arbutus Park Retirement Community in Johnstown

Concordia Lutheran Ministries has officially added Arbutus Park Retirement Community to its family of locations and services.

Now called Concordia at Arbutus Park, this beautiful community in Johnstown, Pa., provides skilled nursing, personal care and retirement living accommodations. The faith-based community has been serving the needs of older individuals for over 50 years.

Chad Kamler will remain Administrator for Concordia at Arbutus Park, and Concordia plans to honor all resident contracts and obligations. Concordia will continue to support and grow the talented group of executives and team members at Arbutus Park and share Concordia’s corporate resources with the location.

Founded in 1881, Concordia Lutheran Ministries is a faith-based Aging Services Network. As one of the largest nonprofit senior care providers in the country, the organization serves 50,000 people annually through in-home care and inpatient locations. Throughout its system, Concordia offers adult day services, home health care, hospice, medical and rehabilitation services, memory care, personal care, assisted living, respite care, retirement living, skilled nursing/short-term rehab, spiritual care and medical equipment.

Concordia has worked since 2009 to become a “Christian consolidator” in the industry – to protect and preserve organizations with Christian roots and to aid in the long-term support of Christian health care ministries. Arbutus’ faith-based mission aligns well with Concordia’s, and the Board of Directors at both organizations are excited for the opportunity to extend their mission together.
