With just five nursing homes in the city, there are only a few options to choose from in Quincy, Massachusetts. The nursing homes here received a first-rate city grade of A-. Even with just a couple of nursing homes, this is still a great achievement. For comparison's sake, we also looked at the nursing homes in the nearby city of Randolph, which which also appears to be a strong option. Nevertheless, we found the facilities in Quincy to be rated even higher than the ones in Randolph. We were so impressed with this city that we rated it as one of the 500 best cities in the nation.
This city received a strong overall grade, but we also wanted to emphasize that some of its facilities received virtually flawless health inspections the past few years. We gave Quincy an impressive grade of A- in this category. Our inspection scores weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better scores in this area tend to have few severe deficiencies. We also awarded Quincy an A- in our nursing rating. Rounding out its top notch report card, we gave Quincy grades of A- and B+ for our long-term care and short-term care categories respectively.
