Our dedicated professional staff provides outstanding patient-centered care in a serene setting ensuring that our residents receive excellent care and are engaged in a wide variety of daily activities. Our growing reputation along with increased community-based engagement and referrals has poised us for significant long-term growth. In addition to providing 4,061 days of care to our community's indigent population through Ohio's Medicaid program, Concordia at Sumner personnel provided additional benefits to our community. Our staff participated in the annual Alzheimer's Association walk. Our staff has volunteered at the Soprema Senior center and assisted in providing blood pressure screenings for 3,000 seniors. In addition, our staff has been regular participants in the Copley Heritage day parade, was the water sponsor for Kylie's 5k run benefitting the Akron General Hospital Children's oncology department, and provides aging and Alzheimer's support for resident families and the community. Our facility has partnered with Kenmore Garfield High School in Akron, Ohio providing opportunities for these students who chose the Allied Health career path to experience hand-on exposure to day-to-day care practices in a post-acute care facility. Many of these students are from under-privileged and under-served parts of the Akron Community. Students in their Senior year of the program have the opportunity to apply for open positions in our facility.

We provide around-the-clock nursing care and a team of dedicated state tested nursing assistants to ensure that all of our residents receive outstanding care.
