With 131,801 people, San Mateo, California is a moderately populated city. Surprisingly, there are just 2 nursing homes there, which is fewer than we expected in a city of this size. We gave this small group of nursing homes a city grade of B, which is a perfectly respectable score. This is an average city grade nationally, which is nothing to be ashamed of. This city's profile was also very consistent as it did not receive a single poor category grade either. You can learn more about these in the next paragraph.
On top of performing well overall, we gave San Mateo one of our higher scores in our long-term care rating with a B. Nursing homes that excel in long-term care tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. In addition, the city received good inspection reports this year as well, receiving a B in that category. Wrapping up its quality report card, the city earned a grade of B for its nursing rating and a B for short-term care. This place did not have any weak links based on our assessment.
