Cambridge, Massachusetts is a medium size city with 105,321 people. The city features just 3 nursing homes, which is fewer than we expected in a city of this size. This city's nursing homes received a world class city grade of A, so what this place lacks in quantity, it makes up for in quality. We found this city grade to be even better than the city grade of B+ received by the nearby city of Brookline. Both cities have some quality nursing homes, but Cambridge appears to be an even better place to find a nursing home. One of the best aspects of this place's stellar profile is its nursing homes' short-term care ratings. We discuss short-term care in the following paragraph.
In addition to performing well in its overall grade, this city's nursing homes performed extremely well in our short-term care category. We awarded Cambridge one of our highest ratings in that category with a grade of A. Strong scores in this category usually mean a city's facilities have high levels of physical therapy staffing. We also awarded Cambridge a grade of A in our long-term care category. Wrapping up its straight A report card, the city received a grade of A- in our nursing category and an A- in the area of inspections.
