THE HEALTH CENTER AT CONCORDIA
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
The Health Center at Concordia has a Trust Grade of B+, indicating it is above average and recommended for families considering care options. It ranks #30 out of 282 facilities in Oklahoma, placing it in the top half, and #2 out of 39 in Oklahoma County, meaning only one other local facility ranks better. The facility's trend is improving, with the number of issues decreasing from four in 2023 to three in 2024. However, staffing is a concern, with a low 2/5 star rating and a high turnover rate of 67%, which exceeds the state average. They also face $25,407 in fines, higher than 92% of Oklahoma facilities, suggesting some compliance issues. In terms of care, there are some strengths, such as excellent ratings in overall quality measures and health inspections. However, there are specific concerns that families should be aware of. For instance, food safety practices were not followed, as fresh food was rinsed in the same sink where raw fish was defrosting, creating a risk of contamination. Additionally, there was a failure to have an advance directive for one resident, which is an important aspect of patient care planning. Lastly, infection control measures were not implemented properly, as blood pressure cuffs were used on multiple residents without adequate sanitation, posing a risk for infection transmission. Overall, while there are positive aspects to this facility, these weaknesses warrant careful consideration.

How do you ensure care continuity during staff transitions?

THE HEALTH CENTER AT CONCORDIA is not on any federal watch list. The most significant is the Special Focus Facility (SFF) program, which identifies the bottom 1% of nursing homes nationally based on persistent, serious quality problems.

This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
