Delray Beach, Florida is an average size city with 107,599 people. It has just 3 nursing homes, which is not quite as many as we expected in a city of this size. This place's nursing homes received a phenomenal city grade of A, so what this place lacks in quantity, it makes up for in quality. We also assessed the nursing homes in the nearby city of Port Saint Lucie, which received a city grade of B+. As good as the nursing homes are in Port Saint Lucie, we found Delray Beach to be in a totally different league. In addition, Delray Beach is also one of the 100 best cities in the United States.
In addition to performing well in its overall grade, many of the facilities in Delray Beach performed extremely well in the area of short-term care. We awarded it one of our highest scores in that category with a grade of A+. With a short-term care score in this range we would expect many of the nursing homes this city to offer high levels of physical and occupational therapy staffing. The city performed remarkably well in the area of long-term care as well. Consequently, we gave it a grade of A in that category. Rounding out its straight A profile, we gave the city top notch grades for our inspections and nursing categories as well.
