The health and well-being of our patients, residents and team members is our number one priority. Despite many of the counties in which we operate beginning to re-open, per the Departments of Health, Concordia is still operating under a no visitation policy, except for patients/residents in end-of-life situations. However, those wishing to see their loved ones can schedule time with them at one of our safe visitation areas. Please call your loved one's facility for more information. For information regarding Concordia’s coronavirus precautions and cases, please click here. We have also began publishing regular video devotions from our Chaplains.

The first week of Fall each year has been designated National Fall Prevention Awareness Week. To celebrate, Concordia Lutheran Ministries will conduct an afternoon of presentations and screenings free to the public on Monday, September 23 from 1 – 3 p.m. in the Haven 1 dining room on the Concordia at Cabot campus. Professionals will present brief discussions followed by screenings. Click here for Google Maps directions.

Presenters and topics include:

  • Dr. Marc Oster, Internal Medicine Specialist from Butler Health System: “Medications and Polypharmacy”
  • Jennifer Slanika, RPh from Providence Pharmacy: “Medications that Increase the Risk of Falls”
  • Concordia Medical Equipment CEO Brad Milliron: “Assistive Devices to Improve Safety”
  • Concordia Physical Therapist Jen Lesnett, DPT: “Preventing Falls in Your Home and Community”

Following presentations, mobility screenings will be conducted by Concordia physical therapists, starting at 2 p.m.  

According to the National Council on Aging, “Among older adults, falls are the leading cause of injury deaths, unintentional injuries, and hospital admissions for trauma. Falls can take a serious toll on older adults’ quality of life and independence. At the heart of this initiative is the message that falls are preventable.”
