Lomita, California is an average size city with 21,318 people. It has only 2 nursing homes, which doesn't provide you with too many options to choose from. This relatively small group of facilities earned on average an overall grade of B-, which a decent grade for the city. We somewhat surprisingly found this city grade to be better than the grade we gave the nearby city of Bell Gardens. With Bell Gardens receiving such an awful grade, Lomita certainly appears to be a better bet. One of the highlights of this city's report card is its nursing homes' strong short-term care ratings, which is addressed in the next section.
This city's most impressive category grade was in the area of short-term care. In this category, we gave the city a B+. With a short-term care grade this high we'd expect many of the nursing homes here to offer high levels of physical and occupational therapy staffing. Lomita earned a B for our nursing category. Lastly, the city received a B- for its inspections rating and a grade of D in the area of long-term care. It goes without saying that this city's long-term care grade really pulled down its overall score.
