Concordia Lutheran Ministries Care Expands

Concordia Lutheran Ministries Signs Purchase Agreement to Acquire Reformed Presbyterian Home in Pittsburgh 
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’s family of locations and services. 

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. 

This historic location in Pittsburgh’s North Side provides skilled nursing, personal care and retirement living accommodations. The faith-based community has been serving the needs of older adults since 1897. Coincidentally, both Concordia and RPH initially served orphans in the Pittsburgh region, prior to focusing primarily on older adults. 

“We are humbled by the opportunity to adopt the mission of Reformed Presbyterian Home as it joins the Concordia family,” said Concordia’s President and CEO Keith Frndak. “RPH 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.” 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. 

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

As one of the country’s largest nonprofit senior care providers, Concordia Lutheran Ministries serves 50,000 people annually through in-home care and inpatient locations. 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, and medical equipment.
