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 Milpitas. With Milpitas receiving an awful city grade, we found the facility in Saratoga to be rated much higher than most of the facilities in Milpitas. The best part of this facility's impressive report card was 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 impressive report card, we gave the city a B+ for its short-term care rating and a B in the area of long-term care. We truly found this place to be very competent in every category.
