Concord Care Center of Toledo

While we were not high on this nursing home's overall score, it received a very impressive inspection report this year. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it earned one of our best grades in that category with an A-. Inspection ratings weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. You generally want to avoid nursing homes with too many deficiencies flagged. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. In spite of this deficiency, this place still received a relatively positive inspection report.

We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of C. Nursing ratings are primarily based on the facility's nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a low total compared to most other facilities. Lastly, while this nursing home got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of our quality measures. With less than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared well in this area.

This nursing home's third most favorable category was long-term care. We awarded it a C in this area. This is basically a slightly below average score in this category. Our long-term care grade is commonly used to assess a nursing home's performance as a traditional nursing home, as opposed to focusing on the skilled nursing services provided by a skilled nursing facility. One of the statistics we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. Candidly, we were a bit worried that this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to just 79.36508 percent of its patients. On a more positive note, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

This nursing home's least impressive category is short-term care, which is the final area we scored. For this category, we gave this facility a grade of D. In forming these short-term care ratings, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our goal is to create a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Based on its score in this area, we weren't surprised to discover that this nursing home was well below average in terms of the number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we looked at. The last item we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor metrics was damning for this nursing home's short-term care grade.
