Concourse Rehabilitation and Nursing Center

In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this place also excelled in the category of inspections, where it earned an A+. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection grades. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being quite minor. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.

Additionally, we also would like to note that this facility was given positive long-term care marks this year. We awarded them one of our more favorable grades in that area, with a grade of B. This proved to be the nursing home's second highest score. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 87.66404 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is somewhat less than we were hoping for but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

This nursing home wound up receiving a a very poor grade in our short-term care area. It was given an F in this category. Our short-term care ratings are based on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a vast range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. As you might expect, we learned that this place offers significantly less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the typical facility. The final datapoint we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 3.7 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar statistics doomed this nursing home's short-term care score.

This nursing home's weakest area is nursing, which is the final area we analyzed. Sadly, it received a lowly F in this category. Even with some decent grades in other categories, this score is still concerning so we wanted to draw your attention to it. There are a number of subcategories within this area. Most of these subcategories are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home offered only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is not a very impressive figure. Unfortunately, this place also had abysmal scores in several of the quality-based metrics to pair with its low nursing hours. We looked at the percentage of patients experiencing pressure ulcers. This nursing home was at more than twice the national average in this statistic. This is quite alarming when you consider that so many bed sores are preventable with better nursing care. This ended up sealing the nursing home's fate of earning a very poor nursing rating.
