Nursing Homes in National City, California

With just five nursing homes in the city, there are only a few options in National City, California. We awarded the nursing homes here a strong city grade of B+. Even with just a couple of facilities, this is still a great sign. We found this city grade to be considerably better than the city grade of C received by the nearby city of San Marcos. While that is not a terrible grade, National City appears to be in a totally different league. The best aspect of National City's strong profile was its nursing homes' inspection reports. Inspection reports are discussed in the next section

As mentioned above, this city received a great overall grade, but we especially wanted to point out that some of the city's facilities received nearly flawless health inspections in recent years. We gave National City an impressive grade of A in this area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are relatively minor. In addition, we also awarded this city an A- for our short-term care category. Finally, National City earned middle of the pack grades in our nursing and long-term care categories.
