There are only 4 nursing homes in Marietta, Ohio, providing for a relatively small population of 27,785 people. This relatively small group of nursing homes here received a solid city grade of B-. This is just about the middle of the road by national standards, which is perfectly respectable. One of the highlights of this city's profile is its nursing homes' strong short-term care ratings, which we will address in the next section.
It should also be noted that this city's nursing rating outpaced its overall grade. In fact, we gave Marietta a B in this area, which is one of our higher grades. Short-term care ratings are meaningful for patients needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires more skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a vast range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. In addition, the city also received strong nursing rating with a grade of B in this area. In the other categories we looked at, we gave Marietta a B for its inspections grade and a B- in long-term care.
