The Good Samaritan Fund provides benevolent care to Concordia Life Plan residents who outlive their resources, through no fault of their own and need assistance to remain in their home. Benevolent Care provides vital financial aid for seniors and ensures residents will continue receiving the same quality of service, care and life enhancement as those with means still available.
