Concord Care and Rehabilitation Center

While we were fairly low on this facility overall, we awarded it an A- for our inspections rating. This score is significantly more impressive than the facility's overall grade. Our inspection grades are based on many pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important item to look for on these reports. You should especially avoid nursing homes that have severe deficiencies associated with risks to resident well being. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that we have deficiency data for this nursing home. We wish we had more information about this facility. Without having all of the deficiency related data, it ended up being difficult to grade this nursing home in this category.

This nursing home received its second best category grade in the category of short-term care. We awarded this facility a C in this category, which is an acceptable score. In our short-term care category, we try to craft a meaningful gauge for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the measures we assessed. The last item we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home. This figure was below average.

Sadly, this nursing home's third highest score is long-term care. As it turns out, with a D in this category, it still performed somewhat poorly. In a long-term care setting, the nursing home's primary objective is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 96.644295 percent of its residents, which is more than the vast majority of nursing homes. Surprisingly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.

The final area we assessed was nursing, which is this nursing home's weakest category. We awarded this facility a grade of D in that category. When computing a nursing home's nursing score, we consider the quantity of hours nurses spend with residents and the skill levels of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these metrics to be measures of the quality of nursing care.
