Nursing Homes in Dorchester, Massachusetts

Dorchester, Massachusetts is an average size city with 82,752 people. It features only 2 nursing homes, which is not quite as many as we expected in a city of this size. We awarded the nursing homes here a world class city grade of A. Even with only a few nursing homes, this is still a great achievement. For comparison's sake, we also assessed the facilities in the nearby city of Cambridge, which received a city grade of B+. As impressed as we were with the nursing homes in Cambridge, we found Dorchester to be in a totally different league. Even in a state with many good cities to find nursing homes, we ranked this city as one of the twenty five highest rated cities in the state of Massachusetts.

In addition to performing well in its overall grade, this city performed especially well in the area of short-term care. We awarded Dorchester one of our highest scores in that category with a grade of A. Short-term care scores of this caliber are a great sign for the levels of physical and occupational therapy staffing at the facilities in a city. Dorchester also performed spectacularly well in the area of inspections, where it received an A for this category. Rounding out its straight A profile, we gave Dorchester an A in our long-term care category and an A- in nursing.
