With just five nursing homes in the city, there are only a couple of choices in Reno, Nevada. We gave this city a city grade of B based on the quality of its nursing homes. We also looked at the facilities in the nearby city of Sparks, which received a city grade of C. We found Reno to be a better option. We were also pleased to find that this city did not have any weak links in any of the major categories. Additional information about its category grades can be found in the next section.
In addition to performing well in its overall grade, the nursing homes in Reno performed spectacularly well in our short-term care category. We awarded Reno one of our highest grades in that category with a grade of A-. With a short-term care rating in this range we'd expect the majority of the facilities here to offer high levels of physical and occupational therapy staffing. Reno earned a grade of B in the area of nursing. Rounding out its report card, we gave Reno favorable grades for our long-term care and inspections areas respectively.
