Lutheran Home has a strong overall Medicare rating. Public reviewers frequently mention: beautiful, well-maintained facility and high-quality dining and culinary team. Review the component ratings and current source records before deciding.
Lutheran Home, also known as Concord Reserve, receives highly polarized feedback depending on the level of care. Many residents and families in independent living and short-term rehab praise the beautiful facility, high-quality dining, and friendly staff. However, multiple families of long-term and skilled nursing residents report serious concerns regarding chronic understaffing, reliance on agency nurses, and inconsistent quality of care.

Key Review Excerpts
“The staff is kind, patient and attentive. They know my mom now and notice things about her (if she’s not eating well, when she has her nails painted a new color, when she is feeling blue) and address her needs appropriately.”
“All of thier nursing is through an agency so you have a different. Nurse every time. Half of the nurses had no idea about peg tube feedings or anything.”
“My 92 year old Mom was in skilled nursing for 5 weeks after a fall and broken hip. The facility is clean, well-kept, and very welcoming. Everyone at Concord was wonderful - reception, admissions, nurses, aids, therapists.”
