There are two nursing homes in Santee, California, which at least gives you a few choices. This place's nursing homes received a superb city grade of A-, so what this place lacks in quantity, it makes up for by having high quality nursing homes. We also assessed the facilities in the nearby city of Encinitas, which which also appears to be a strong option. Nevertheless, we found the nursing homes in Santee to be rated even higher than the ones in Encinitas. We were actually so impressed with this city that we ranked it as one of the top twenty five rated cities in California.
As mentioned above, this city's nursing homes received a strong overall grade, but we especially wanted to point out that we awarded Santee an impressive grade of A in short-term care. With a short-term care rating in this range we would expect the majority of the facilities in Santee to a high functioning physical therapy and rehabilitation program. In addition, the city performed extremely well in terms of its inspection grade as well. In fact, some of its facilities received virtually flawless inspection reports this year. Consequently, we awarded it an A- in that area. Rounding out its straight A report card, Santee earned an A- for its nursing grade and an A- in long-term care.
