With eight nursing homes in the city, there are a fair number of facilities in Towson, Maryland. We awarded the nursing homes here a city grade of B, which is a very solid score. This is as good or better than the city grade of the average city in the United States. This city's nursing homes were stronger in some categories than others, but it did not have any poor grades in any of our major categories discussed below. Additional information about these categories can be found in the next paragraph.
To go along with its strong overall grade, we gave this city a grade of A- in our short-term care category. With a short-term care grade this high we would expect many of the facilities this city to offer quality rehabilitation services. The city received good inspection reports this year as well, receiving a B+ in this category. In the last two categories, Towson were awarded a B+ in our nursing category and a grade of B- in the area of long-term care.
