With just five nursing homes in the city, there are only a couple of options to choose from in Longmont, Colorado. We gave the nursing homes in this city a first-rate city grade of A-. Even with only a couple of facilities, this is still quite an accomplishment. In fact, this city's city grade was far better than the city grade of facilities in the local city of Broomfield. While the nursing homes in Broomfield are not terrible, we found Longmont to be in a totally different league. We were so impressed with this city that we rated it as one of the 500 best cities in the country.
In addition to having excellent nursing homes overall, this city really excelled in the area of inspections, where we gave it an A. Not many cities performed better in this area. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. In addition, we also wanted to point out that we gave Longmont an A- for our short-term care category. Rounding out its quality profile, Longmont earned a B+ for its nursing rating and a B in the area of long-term care. Longmont didn't have any weak links based on our assessment.
