There is just one nursing home located in Fernandina Beach, Florida, providing for a relatively small population of 31,008 people. Fortunately, its only nursing home received a superb overall grade of A-. By way of comparison, we awarded the facilities in the nearby city of Brunswick a city grade of B, which is also an impressive grade. Nevertheless, we found this facility in Fernandina Beach to be an even better option than most of the facilities in Brunswick. The best part of this facility's strong report card is its inspection rating. We discuss inspections in the next section
In addition to performing well in its overall grade, this city's nursing home performed spectacularly well in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly perfect inspection report this year. As a result, we awarded it one of our best scores in that area with an A+.

You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place also really excelled in the area of long-term care, where it received an A-. In the other categories we looked at, we awarded the city middle of the pack grades for our short-term care and nursing categories.
