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 very good city grade of B+. Even with only a few facilities, this is still a great sign. 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 city's impressive report card was its nursing homes' inspection reports. Inspection grades are discussed in the next section
In addition to performing well in its overall grade, this city performed especially well in our inspections category. In fact, some of the nursing homes in the city received virtually perfect inspection reports this year. Consequently, it received one of our best grades in that area with a grade of A. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. The city performed especially well in terms of its long-term care grade as well. Consequently, we awarded it an A- in that area. In the last two categories, this place earned a B+ in our nursing category and a B- in short-term care.
