For comparison's sake, we also assessed the nursing homes in the nearby city of Bangor, which received a city grade of B+. As good as the nursing homes are in Bangor, we found Camden to be rated even higher. This city's report card was also very consistent as it did not receive a single weak category grade either.

In addition to receiving a strong overall grade, this city performed remarkably well in short-term care. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A+ for that category, which is one of our best scores. Cities with these kinds of short-term care grades usually have nursing homes offering physical therapy, highly skilled nursing and other services related to rehabilitation. In addition, we also wanted to emphasize that some of its nursing homes received virtually flawless health inspections in recent years. For this reason, we awarded Camden an A for this category. Rounding out its profile, the city earned an A- for its nursing score and a B- in the area of long-term care. Outside of its long-term care grade, this place's three other grades were just about as good as it gets.
