With two nursing homes in the city, there are only a couple of choices in Antioch, California. The nursing homes in this city received a top-notch city grade of A-. Even with just a few nursing homes, this is still quite an achievement. By way of comparison, we gave the nursing homes in the local city of Berkeley a city grade of B, which is also an impressive grade. However, we found the nursing homes in Antioch to be rated much higher than the ones in Berkeley. Finally, this city's category grades were every bit as strong as its overall city grade. You can learn more about these in the next section.
In addition to performing well in its overall grade, many of the nursing homes in Antioch performed remarkably well in long-term care. We awarded Antioch one of our best grades in that category with a grade of A+. For prospective residents looking for a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are a key measure. Antioch also performed extremely well in the area of inspections, where it received an A- for that area. Wrapping up its profile, the city received a B+ in our short-term care category and a B+ in nursing. We really found this city to be very strong in every category.
