THE GRAND REHABILITATION AND NURSING AT QUEENS

The Grand Rehabilitation and Nursing at Queens holds an overall 5-star rating from CMS, which is the highest possible score and puts it in the top tier of nursing facilities nationally. That overall rating is a composite of three separate scores, each measuring something different about how the facility operates and cares for its residents. On health inspections, the facility earned 4 out of 5 stars, meaning state inspectors found fewer or less serious problems here than at most facilities. That's a good sign that the building is being run responsibly and that concerns are being caught and addressed. The quality measures rating is a perfect 5 stars, which reflects strong clinical outcomes across 15 different health indicators, things like whether residents are developing pressure wounds, experiencing falls, or declining in physical function. That score tells you the care residents are actually receiving day-to-day is producing above-average results. The one area worth keeping in mind is staffing, which comes in at 3 stars, meaning the ratio of nurse hours to residents is about average compared to other facilities. It doesn't signal a red flag, but it does mean this isn't a standout in that particular area. If your loved one has complex care needs that require a lot of hands-on attention, it's worth asking the facility directly about how they staff different units and shifts. Overall though, the combination of strong inspection results and excellent clinical outcomes driving a 5-star composite is a meaningful indicator that this is a well-run facility worth serious consideration.
