Berkeley, California offers just five nursing homes to choose from, so you don't have too many options to choose from. This place's nursing homes received a very good city grade of B+, so what this city lacks in quantity, it makes up for by having high quality nursing homes. This is a well above average grade with the overwhelming majority of places receiving a B or lower. This city's profile was also consistent as it did not receive a single weak category grade either. You can read more about these in the next paragraph.
In addition to performing well in its overall grade, the nursing homes in Berkeley performed extremely well in the category of inspections. In fact, some of the nursing homes in the city received virtually flawless inspection reports this year. As a result, the city received one of our best grades in that category with an A. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher scores in this category typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. The city also received an impressive nursing rating with a grade of B+ in this category. Wrapping up its quality report card, the city received a B for short-term care and a B for long-term care. We truly found this place to be very strong everywhere we looked.
