Mesa, Arizona is a large metropolitan area with 478,404 people. The city features 10 nursing homes, which is an impressive selection. We gave the nursing homes in this city a very good city grade of B+, which is quite an achievement when you look at the number of facilities in the city. In fact, this place's city grade even surpassed the city grade of facilities in the local city of Goodyear. This is especially impressive in light of the fact that we awarded those nursing homes in Goodyear a city grade of B, which is actually a good grade in its own right.

To pair with its great overall grade, we awarded Mesa an A for our inspections category. Inspection ratings account for a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this area tend to have very few of these severe deficiencies. In addition, the city also performed extremely well in our short-term care category, with a grade of A- for that area. In the last two categories, we gave Mesa a B for its nursing grade and a B- in long-term care.
