The Boards of Directors for Reformed Presbyterian Home (RPH) and Concordia Lutheran Ministries are blessed and excited to announce that an asset purchase agreement has been signed to add RPH to Concordia\u2019s family of locations and services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The closing process requires approval from several regulatory authorities and could take approximately 60-90 days to officially close and transfer the assets. While many details regarding the transition are still yet to be determined, Concordia plans to hold a number of town hall meetings with RPH employees, residents and families in the coming weeks, and plans to infuse significant capital resources into several substantial upgrades at the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This historic location in Pittsburgh\u2019s North Side provides skilled nursing, personal care and retirement living accommodations. The faith-based community has been serving the needs of older individuals since 1897. Coincidentally, both Concordia and RPH initially served orphans in the Pittsburgh region, prior to focusing primarily on older adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are humbled by the opportunity to adopt the mission of Reformed Presbyterian Home as it joins the Concordia family,\u201d said Concordia Lutheran Ministries President and CEO Keith Frndak. \u201cRPH has a deep-rooted tradition of faith-based care, and we look forward to supporting this community, its people and its ministry in the years ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cara Todhunter will remain Executive Director, and Concordia plans to honor all resident contracts and obligations. The community serves approximately 350 – 400 residents and patients annually and employs approximately 110.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFor 128 years, The Reformed Presbyterian Home has remained committed to compassionate, faith driven care,\u201d Todhunter said. \u201cThis development marks an exciting new chapter for our organization. By joining Concordia Lutheran Ministries, we are strengthening our mission and expanding the resources available to our residents, families and staff. We are confident this strategic move will bring meaningful enhancements to our community for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following a planned gift made by John A. McKee, RPH was established by the Reformed Presbyterian Woman\u2019s Association and began providing care and residence to orphans, widows and the aged in 1897. A number of expansion and renovation projects have occurred over the decades, with the most recent being the completion of a retirement living apartment building, which includes a HUD program for low-income seniors and a number of independent living apartments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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, physician and rehabilitation services, memory care, personal care, assisted living, respite care, retirement living, skilled nursing\/short-term rehab, spiritual care and medical equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Concordia has worked since 2009 to become a \u201cChristian consolidator\u201d in the industry \u2013 to protect and preserve organizations with Christian roots and to aid in the long-term support of Christian health care ministries. RPH\u2019s faith-based mission aligns well with Concordia\u2019s, and the Board of Directors at both organizations are excited for the opportunity to extend this mission together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
