Our read on Bertrand Nursing Home

Bertrand Nursing Home is a 26-bed city-owned home in Phelps County, and the numbers behind its A grade are steady rather than spectacular. Nurse staffing runs 3.91 hours per resident day, just barely above the national average of 3.86, though weekends dip about 6% below its own weekday coverage. Staff turnover sits at 45.5%, essentially matching the national rate of 45.8%. What stands out is the inspection record: three deficiencies total, none at the harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection on May 1, 2025. A 5/5 health inspection rating and 5/5 quality measure rating support that. For a small rural home, this reads as consistent, well-monitored care without serious red flags.
