For 30 years, Como Park Living At Home Block Nurse Program (CPLAHBNP) has been helping seniors in the Como Park and Falcon Heights neighborhoods live better in their own homes and apartments. Providing health-centric services, up to and including nurse visits and nurse-provided care, was the program’s core focus.

But the continued rapid expansion of the local senior population, and its ever growing range of expectations and interests, has called for ongoing adjustments and expansions to the program’s original mission – and for a new program name that is reflective of these changes. As of Oct. 1, 2023, CPLAHBNP is COMOCONNECTS - Resources and Support for Neighborhood Seniors. Lisa Kane, the program’s executive director, says that the COMOCONNECTS name came about through conversations with clients and their families, neighborhood residents, volunteers, and other stakeholders. COMOCONNECTS will still help seniors meet their health-related needs, but that the program is also focused on providing life-enriching resources and support for seniors, and on enhancing their autonomy through companionship and socialization opportunities.
