With just five nursing homes in the city, there are only a couple of choices in Annapolis, Maryland. These nursing homes here earned this place a quality city grade of B. By way of comparison, we gave the facilities in the local city of Middle River a city grade of D, which is a very poor grade. Clearly, we found the nursing homes in Annapolis to be on a whole other level than the ones in Middle River. The best part of Annapolis's impressive report card was its nursing homes' short-term care grades. Short-term care grades are discussed in the next section.
In addition to receiving a strong overall grade, this city performed extremely well in our short-term care category. In fact, we awarded the city a grade of A- for this category, which is one of our highest scores. With a short-term care grade of this caliber we would expect most of the facilities in Annapolis to offer quality rehabilitation services. In addition, the city also received one of our better scores in the area of nursing, with a B+. In our final two categories, we gave Annapolis middle of the pack grades in our inspections and long-term care categories respectively.
