CONCORDIA AT VILLA ST JOSEPH
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Concordia at Villa St. Joseph has received a Trust Grade of F, indicating significant concerns about the quality of care provided. Ranking #401 out of 653 facilities in Pennsylvania places it in the bottom half, while it ranks #2 out of 5 in Beaver County, meaning only one local option is better. Unfortunately, the facility is worsening, with the number of reported issues increasing from 6 in 2024 to 19 in 2025. Staffing is a relative strength, with a rating of 4 out of 5 stars and a turnover rate of 38%, which is below the state average; however, the facility issued fines of $31,788, which is concerning as it is higher than 79% of Pennsylvania facilities. Specific incidents of concern include a failure to properly train staff in the use of a Life Vest for residents with cardiac issues, and neglect in providing appropriate assistance during resident transport, which resulted in actual harm for one resident. Overall, while there are some positive aspects in staffing, the facility has significant weaknesses that families should carefully consider.
