Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

Concordia Care Network dba Concordia Community Support Services (CCSS) was formed in the spring of 2015 to provide executive level oversight, management and strategic planning for the non-profit home and community based entities that deliver quality home health services, hospice services, and supply needs in good faith, on behalf of those who entrust themselves to our care and to minister to the unique needs of each individual with respect, dignity and compassion. CCSS will perform management and policy functions and the organization is committed to providing strong leadership so that the agencies can provide the highest quality of care from nursing and therapy to specialized services such as IV therapy, wound care, palliative care, and psychiatric care, all from the comfort of the patients' home.

Activities or mission (Part I)

To provide executive level oversight, management and strategic planning for the non-profit home and community based entities that deliver quality home health services, hospice services, and supply needs in good faith, on behalf of those who entrust themselves to our care and to minister to the unique needs of each individual with respect, dignity and compassion.

  • Concordia Care Network dba Concordia Community Support Services (CCSS) manages the leadership and operations of Concordia Visiting Nurses; Alliance Visiting Nurses, dba, VNA Alliance; Good Samaritan Hospice of Pittsburgh; Concordia Hospice of Washington, Concordia Private Care, Concordia Medical Equipment, and Concordia IRMC-VNA dba VNA of Indiana County. During fiscal year ending 6/30/2023 Concordia Care Network acquired sole membership in Bethlen Home of the Hungarian Reformed Federation of America dba Concordia at Bethlen. CCSS began management of a home health and hospice license at Bethlen on April 3, 2023. All of these entities are 501(c)(3) non-profit entities. During the fiscal year, approximately 22,312 patients were served across 15 counties in home health, hospice and private duty services. In addition, Concordia Medical Equipment supports approximately 6,244 new patients that Concordia Lutheran Ministries serves over 11 campuses in Pennsylvania by providing durable medical equipment and supplies. From nursing and therapy services to specialized services such as IV Therapy, wound care, palliative care and mental health care, our visiting nurses' teams ensure that patients are provided care in the comfort of their own home with the goal of preventing rehospitalization and monitoring chronic disease states. Our hospice team provides comfort care to improve the overall quality of life of patients who are on their end-of-life journey. Our medical equipment agency is dedicated to enhancing home safety by providing a wide selection of durable medical equipment and related home medical equipment and supplies such as home accessibility products, mobility aids, and respiratory products and services. Families of our patients play a vital role so we educate and support them through situations related to caring for a loved one who is aging, all the way through their end-of-life. Bereavement care is also provided to families of hospice patients for at least a year beyond the patient's death. Employees are offered training and opportunities to obtain new skills such as Wound Care Certification, Palliative Care Training, IV Therapy Certification, Lymphedema Therapy Certification, Home Health and Hospice Coding Certification, and Hospice Boot Camp Training. Concordia awarded $84,000 in scholarships and stipends. These funds went to 20 student employees and 21 children of employees from 10 different service locations throughout Concordia. During calendar year 2022, the Concordia PR department has continued participating in monthly educational radio talk shows which are broadcast in Butler County, PA on WISR. The goal of these radio shows is to educate family caregivers, whether they are a senior caring for a spouse or adult children caring for an older adult. Shows often talk about caregiving tips and the listener is directed to the services offered by CCSS companies so they can make informed decisions on care. Our educational website has information on the aging process, documents to have in order, the physical and emotional toll caregiving can have on a person, how to maintain independence, how to treat/assist with common diseases like CHF, COPD, Dementia and Diabetes, dealing with difficult symptoms, addressing certain medical concerns and the emotional/spiritual issues that can arise in a person living with a serious illness. Many of our CCSS employees and members of management serve annually at Concordia Summer Festival (July 2022) and Concordia Octoberfest (October 2022). Both events are sponsored by Concordia Lutheran Health and Human Care and are open to the public as a way of providing entertainment, food and refreshments and a feeling of community. A Mission Committee was formed by CCSS in 2018 to organize opportunities for employees to serve the community. During FY 2022-2023, the Mission Committee was expanded to include all Concordia locations and facilities. The committee organizes events - some are specific to a local need and some are across all Concordia locations. The approximate cost to CCSS for the time invested by CCSS employees in the meetings to organize the events is $7,700. The Mission Events that were organized by the Committee during the fiscal year are: Backpack Blessings: Aug-Sept 2022: Concordia Employees in PA and FL locations donated a total of 274 backpacks filled with school supplies for unhoused and underserved children ages 5-12 in partnership with Midwestern Intermediate Unit IV.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

The filer's explanations (Part III)

Schedule J, Part I
All board members of Concordia Care Network dba Concordia Community Support Services serve on a purely volunteer basis. Any compensation to a board member by a related organization, reported on Part VII and Schedule J, is for his/her service as an employee of that organization and not for his/her service as a board member.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 3
The organization reviews national and state salary surveys for various non-profit organizations. Compensation is then appropriately determined based upon experience and comparing to the benchmarks. The CEO, CFO and COO positions were reviewed during the fiscal year associated with this return.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 4
Concordia Care Network dba Concordia Community Support Services participates in a non-qualified 457 deferred compensation plan for certain highly compensated employees. The Concordia Lutheran Ministries (EIN 20-5138278) Board of Directors and CEO approve all participants who are enrolled in the plan. Contributions are deferred and will fully vest in five years. Once disbursed, contributions will appear in Box 5 of the participant's W-2. In the calendar year 2022 the following participants were enrolled in the plan: Keith Frndak, Brian Hortert, Martin Trettel, Paul Brand, Michael Falbo, Cristen Fiffik, Tammy Young, Misty Ingram, Stacy Mathers, and Natalie McKay.

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
