We wanted to note that this city's nursing score outpaced its overall grade. In fact, we awarded Downey a B in this category, which is one of our higher grades. Facilities that do well in long-term care tend to provide residents with closer supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. Downey also received one of our higher grades in the area of nursing, with a B. In our final two categories, this place earned grades of B- and D for our inspections and short-term care areas respectively. It goes without saying that this city's short-term care rating really dragged down its overall grade. This may be a significant issue for people looking for rehabilitation.
