San Pedro, California is a medium size city with 80,777 people. It has just 3 nursing homes, which is not quite as many as we expected in a city of this size. We awarded the nursing homes here city grade of C, which is not as strong of a grade as we had hoped for. This city looks to be a similar option to the nearby city of Norwalk, which received a city grade of C. Frankly, neither city received stellar marks in our assessment. One of the highlights of this city's profile is its nursing homes' strong nursing ratings, which we will address in the next section.
We wanted to note that this city's nursing grade outpaced its overall grade. In fact, we gave San Pedro a grade of B in this area, which is one of our better grades. When computing our nursing ratings, we assess both staffing levels and the levels of licensure of those nurses. Inspections appears to be this city's next best grade. It earned a B- in this area. In our final two categories, San Pedro received slightly below average grades in our inspections and long-term care categories respectively.
