Concord Care and Rehabilitation Center

Neither this nursing home's overall score nor its category scores gave us much to write home about. This place's best category is nursing, but even there it received just a D. There are numerous datapoints within this grade. Many of the criteria reflect levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is below average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing ratings. This place fared well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Sadly, this facility's second best category was inspections, but even there it received a grade of just D. This is still a well below average grade. Inspection grades account for several factors included in a facility's inspection report. Generally, you should be more cautious when considering a nursing home with severe deficiencies on its inspection reports. This nursing home had a deficiency on its inspection report. We were relieved to find that it wasn't in a category that suggests that it posed a risk to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility also received 13 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.

We awarded this nursing home just a D for our long-term care rating. This is not one of our better scores. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in this category may not provide the kind of consistent 24/7 care that some other nursing homes provide. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. We were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated 70.588234 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is several points below what we expected. To our surprise, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.

This facility's least impressive area is short-term care, which is the final area we assessed. For this category, we gave this facility a grade of just D. In the category of short-term care, we seek to qualify indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess a facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Given its score in this category, we were not surprised to learn that this place is well below average in terms of the number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its residents based on the metrics we looked at. Honestly, this was about what we expected here. The last item we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to return home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 0 percent of its residents returning home.
