There are four nursing homes in Paramus, New Jersey, which at least gives you a few options. We awarded the nursing homes in this city a world class city grade of A-. Even with only a few facilities, this is still quite an achievement. This is a well above average grade with the vast majority of places receiving a B or lower. This city's profile is also consistent as it did not receive a single weak category grade either. You can find more information about these in the next paragraph.
This city's nursing homes received a great overall grade, but we also wanted to emphasize that some of its facilities received almost flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded Paramus an impressive grade of A+ for this category. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better scores in this category most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. In addition, we also wanted to emphasize that we awarded Paramus an A- for our short-term care rating. Rounding out its report card, the city earned an A- in our nursing category and a B- in long-term care. Setting aside its long-term care rating, this city's other grades were remarkably strong.
