Short-Term Rehabilitation

Many people require short-term rehabilitation following a fall, surgery or hospital stay, before returning to their homes. Our staff works closely with patients and their families to ensure the best possible results, which means a smooth transition back to their home environment.

Following an acute hospital stay, Concordia can provide inpatient short-term rehabilitation in one of the several "skilled nursing facilities" in the system. The majority of our short-term rehabilitation beds are in private rooms, making your stay as comfortable as possible.

Our dedicated short-term rehabilitation team is in place to motivate, support and increase the overall functioning of each patient. Our objective is to meet the needs of those individuals with the goal of getting them back to life as quickly as possible.

The clinical staff and therapists work together with our physicians to develop a customized program for each individual. To enhance recovery, Concordia's food service staff provides delicious and nutritional meals and our activity staff provides therapeutic recreational activities for whoever chooses to participate. Cable TV service is provided in every room and many are equipped with free Wi-Fi Internet capabilities.

We encourage our short-term rehab patients to participate in their daily care and to be proactive in their recovery. Our in-house social services staff is available to meet with patients and their family in order to stay informed of their progress and discharge plans.

Personal Care

Personal care is inpatient care where residents receive professional assistance with activities of daily living, such as bathing and personal hygiene, mobility assistance, wound care, preparation of special nutritional meals or diets, housekeeping, activities, laundry, spiritual care and more.

With over 850 personal care beds in the system, Concordia is one of the largest nonprofit providers in Pennsylvania and the tri-state area. All of the facilities at our personal care locations feature professionally decorated rooms that can be furnished with personal items, dining rooms to enjoy the home-style meals and several lounge areas for daily activities.

Concordia has an outstanding personal care staff that undergoes a rigorous screening process, receives ongoing training and is dedicated to each persons well being. We provide 24-hour nursing support and supervision as well as physician services.

Volunteers and fellow residents offer companionship every day, while the activities departments organize trips and events, as well as classes for the residents. Chaplains hold regularly scheduled worship services and Bible classes.

Long-Term Nursing Care

Individuals in long-term nursing care typically require a higher level of around-the-clock care from various professionals - including a medical director, nurses, therapists, social workers, dietitians and many more.

There are several skilled nursing facilities in the Concordia system that provide long-term nursing care. The majority of our long-term nursing care beds are in private rooms, making your loved one's stay as comfortable as possible.

All of Concordia's long-term nursing care facilities have spacious physical and occupational therapy gyms with modern equipment available in conjunction with hands-on therapy treatment. The clinical staff and therapists work together with our physicians to develop a customized program for each individual.

Concordia's food service staff provides delicious, nutritional meals and our activity staff provides therapeutic recreational activities. Cable TV service is provided in every room and many are equipped with free Wi-Fi Internet capabilities.

We encourage our long-term nursing care patients and their families to participate in their daily care and to be proactive in their recovery. Our in-house social services staff is available to meet with patients and their family in order to stay informed of their progress and discharge plans. Concordia at Cabot Skilled Nursing even has an independent Family Council that meets regularly to discuss a variety of topics.

Memory Care

Individuals with dementia, Alzheimer's disease and other memory-impairing ailments often require special care in a location that gives them the opportunity to thrive. Concordia has the expertise and facilities to help make that possibility a reality.

Concordia has offered memory care since long before the term was even coined. At our specialized memory care locations, families can rest assured that their loved ones are not only safe, but flourishing as well.

There are many factors that make Concordia Memory Care locations the ideal place for those suffering from memory-impairing conditions:

•    Higher staffing ratios that provide more caregiver time per resident
•    Additional safety options, including secure and alarmed exterior doors
•    More activity hours per resident, with more one-on-one activity opportunities
•    A staff specifically trained to help those with memory-impairing conditions

This is all in addition to Concordia's many standard personal care services, such as housekeeping, laundry, bathing and personal hygiene, mobility assistance, 24-hour nursing support and homemade meals, including the preparation of special nutritional requirements or diets. Our activities staff allows those in our care to be as active and engaged as they choose to be - but there is rarely a shortage of things to do.

All of the Concordia Personal Care facilities are equipped to care for individuals with a memory-impairing ailment.
