Concord Village Skilled Nursing & Rehabilitation is located in Painesville, Ohio. The city has 56,491 people. With an overall score of B+, this facility should work for most prospective patients. In fact, we thought highly enough of this nursing home to rank it ahead of most of the facilities in Painesville. This place is stronger in some categories than others, but it didn't have any bad scores in any of the major categories. More information about these categories can be found below.

This nursing home received a quality overall grade as described above, but we especially wanted to point out its nearly flawless inspections in recent years. We awarded it an A in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some can be quite minor. This facility received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to resident health or safety. Remember that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.

Among the reasons we rated this nursing home so favorably is that it was given a favorable short-term care grade. Indeed, short-term care is its second most favorable category score. In that category, we gave this facility a score of A-. In computing our short-term care scores, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our purpose is to formulate a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. This facility provides more services with registered nurses and physical therapists than most nursing homes we looked at. The last measure we looked at in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that it performed as well as just about any nursing home in Ohio in this area with 64.4 percent of its patients returning home.

Additionally, this facility also received favorable long-term care scores in our assessment. In fact, we gave them one of our stronger grades in that area, with a grade of B. Long-term care scores in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. On top of looking at the well above average level of care provided by aids and other staff at this nursing home, we also were impressed by the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is what we like to see. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

The final category we looked at was nursing, in which this nursing home received a grade of C. This actually ended up being this facility's weakest area. This is nevertheless not a bad grade. The nursing grade assesses quite a few factors, but the paramount consideration is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home provides an impressive 4.2 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is one of the better totals in Ohio. Lastly, this place performed well in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. For example, in terms of the percentage of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, this place outpaced the national average. This is often a good indicator that a nursing home has sufficient quality controls in place. Pressure ulcers can many times be avoided with better nursing care.
