There is only one nursing home in Saratoga, California. We were relieved to discover that its only nursing home received a top-notch overall grade of A. For comparison's sake, we also looked at the facilities in the nearby city of Sunnyvale, which received an impressive city grade in its own right. Nevertheless, we found that this facility in Saratoga was even better than most of the facilities in Sunnyvale. One of the best aspects of this facility's profile is its nursing grade. Nursing grades are discussed in the following section.
To pair with its great overall grade, we awarded this city's only nursing home a grade of A for our nursing rating. Our nursing grade looks at a facility's level of nurse staffing. We factor in both the levels of skill of the nurses and the quantity of hours spent with patients. We also gave this facility a grade of A for our inspections rating. Rounding out its first-rate report card, the city earned a grade of A- for its short-term care score and a grade of B+ for long-term care.
