CONCORDIA OF OHIO PROVIDES FAITH BASED, HIGH QUALITY SKILLED NURSING, SHORT TERM REHAB, ASSISTED LIVING, AND RETIREMENT LIVING SERVICES. WE SERVE THOSE WITH LIMITED FUNDS TO THE BEST OF OUR ABILITY.

OUR DEDICATED PROFESSIONAL STAFF PROVIDES OUTSTANDING PATIENT-CENTERED CARE IN A SERENE SETTING ENSURING THAT OUR RESIDENTS RECEIVE EXCELLENT CARE AND ARE ENGAGED IN A WIDE VARIETY OF DAILY ACTIVITIES. OUR GROWING REPUTATION ALONG WITH INCREASED COMMUNITY-BASED ENGAGEMENT AND REFERRALS HAS POISED US FOR SIGNIFICANT LONG-TERM GROWTH. IN ADDITION TO PROVIDING 6,060 DAYS OF CARE TO OUR COMMUNITY'S INDIGENT POPULATION THROUGH OHIO'S MEDICAID PROGRAM, CONCORDIA AT SUMNER PERSONNEL PROVIDED ADDITIONAL BENEFITS TO OUR COMMUNITY. OUR STAFF HAS PARTICIPATED IN THE ANNUAL ALZHEIMER'S ASSOCIATION WALK, CONTRIBUTING OVER $1,500 TO THE ALZHEIMER'S ASSOCIATION.

THE CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY (PHE) POSED MANY CHALLENGES, AS WELL AS OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE ORGANIZATION THROUGH THE YEAR. WE SAW A SHIFT IN HEALTHCARE. THE PANDEMIC HAS CREATED NEW WAYS OF THINKING AND SOLUTIONS THAT WILL HELP TO CARRY HEALTHCARE SERVICES INTO THE FUTURE. IN MARCH 2020, THE ORGANIZATION IMPLEMENTED ITS EMERGENCY DISASTER PLAN. THE LEADERSHIP TEAM ACROSS THE CONTINUUM MET ROUTINELY TO CONTINUOUSLY EVALUATE THE SITUATION REGARDING THE PHE AND EVER-CHANGING STATE AND FEDERAL GUIDANCE FOR THE SAFE CARE OF PATIENTS WITH SUSPECTED OR KNOWN COVID-19 INFECTIONS WHILE ATTEMPTING TO KEEP ALL STAFF SAFE AND HEALTHY. AT TIMES, STAFFING BECAME A CHALLENGE WHEN STAFF NEEDED TO QUARANTINE DUE TO EXPOSURE OR TESTING POSITIVE FOR COVID-19. A STAFFING CONTINGENCY PLAN WAS PUT INTO PLACE SO THAT THE ORGANIZATION WOULD BE ABLE TO CARRY OUT ITS MISSION TO CARE FOR AS MANY PATIENTS AS POSSIBLE IN THE SAFEST OF WAYS. THROUGHOUT THE COVID-19 PHE, THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDED FOCUSED EDUCATION ON VARIOUS RELATED TOPICS. THESE TOPICS INCLUDED WHAT COVID-19 IS, HOW TO PREVENT THE SPREAD, HOW TO CARE FOR PATIENTS THAT ARE POSITIVE FOR COVID-19, MITIGATION EFFORTS, PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT UTILIZATION (THE ORGANIZATION PURCHASED $117,717 OF PPE AND RELATED SUPPLIES THROUGHOUT THE PAST YEAR) AND OTHER INFECTION CONTROL PRACTICES. THIS EDUCATION WAS PROVIDED THROUGH VARYING PLATFORMS SUCH AS SECURE MESSAGING, AT VIRTUAL STAFF MEETINGS AND THROUGH THE LEARNING MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE, ELSEVIER. STAFF HAVE ALSO BEEN EDUCATED ON COVID-19 VACCINATIONS AND THE IMPORTANCE OF VACCINATIONS AS A TOOL TO HELP END THE PHE. A CORPORATE NURSING TEAM WAS ESTABLISHED TO ASSIST WITH EDUCATION AND ADMINISTRATION RELATED TO THE COVID-19 VACCINATIONS. THE VACCINATION WAS ADMINISTERED TO FELLOW CO-WORKERS, PATIENTS, RESIDENTS AND MEMBERS OF SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES AT NO CHARGE.
