With just three nursing homes in the city, there are only a couple of choices in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. We gave the nursing homes here a phenomenal city grade of A-. Even with just a few nursing homes, this is still quite an achievement. We found this city grade to be considerably better than the city grade of B received by the nearby city of Bullhead City. Both cities received impressive grades, but Lake Havasu City appears to be in a totally different league. This city's strong report card was highlighted by its nursing homes' inspection reports, which we will address in the next section.
To pair with its strong overall grade, we awarded the nursing homes in Lake Havasu City an A in our inspections rating. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. In addition, we also wanted to emphasize that we awarded the city a grade of A in our long-term care rating. Wrapping up its quality report card, Lake Havasu City earned a B+ for its short-term care score and a B for nursing. This city didn't have any weak links based on our assessment.
