Holdrege, Nebraska is a medium size city with 6,567 people. It has only 2 nursing homes, which doesn't provide you with too many options to choose from. This city's nursing homes received an excellent city grade of A, so what this city lacks in quantity, it makes up for by having high quality nursing homes. For comparison's sake, we also assessed the facilities in the nearby city of Kearney, which has some good nursing homes of its own. Nevertheless, we found the facilities in Holdrege to be even better than the ones in Kearney. Finally, Holdrege also has the distinction of being one of the top 250 cities in the nation.
This city received a great overall grade, but we especially wanted to point out that we awarded Holdrege an impressive grade of A+ in the area of long-term care. For prospective patients seeking a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. In addition, Holdrege performed spectacularly well in the area of inspections as well. In fact, some of the nursing homes in the city received virtually flawless inspection reports this year. As a result, we awarded Holdrege an A in that area. Rounding out its report card, Holdrege received a grade of A- for nursing and a grade of B- in short-term care. Setting aside its short-term care grade, this city's other three grades were remarkably strong.
