With a population of 99,475 people, Vacaville, California is a moderately populated city. Surprisingly, there are only 2 nursing homes there, which is not quite as many as we expected in a city of this size. This small group of nursing homes in this city received a city grade of B-. By way of comparison, we gave the nursing homes in the local city of West Sacramento a city grade of C, which is a well below average grade. While the two cities were relatively close, we found the nursing homes in Vacaville to be a better bet. One of the best aspects of this place's profile is its exemplary short-term care score, which is addressed in the next paragraph.
While its overall rating was fairly ordinary, the nursing homes in Vacaville performed extremely well in our short-term care category. In fact, we awarded Vacaville an A- for this category, which is one of our highest scores. Strong scores in this category typically mean a city's nursing homes offer impressive levels of physical therapy staffing. In addition, the city also fared well in the area of government nursing with a B+. Finally, this place received grades of B- and D for our inspections and long-term care categories respectively. Clearly, this city's long-term care score really dragged down its overall grade.
