Crystal River, Florida offers only two nursing homes to choose from, which is not a ton of options. We gave the nursing homes in this city a world class city grade of A-. Even with only a few facilities, this is still quite an achievement. For comparison's sake, we also looked at the facilities in the nearby city of Brooksville, which received a city grade of B. As impressed as we were with the nursing homes in Brooksville, we found Crystal River to be even better. The best aspect of this facility's impressive report card was its nursing homes' long-term care grades. Long-term care grades are discussed in the following section.
In addition to performing well in its overall grade, most of the nursing homes in Crystal River performed extremely well in the area of long-term care. We awarded it one of our best ratings in that category with a grade of A. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. The city also performed spectacularly well in our inspection category, where it received a grade of A for this area. Rounding out its report card, this place earned a B+ in our nursing category and a B in short-term care. Crystal River really didn't have any weak links as far as we could tell.
