Bend, Oregon is a medium size city with 105,390 people. It features only 3 nursing homes, which is fewer than we expected in a city of this size. We awarded the nursing homes here an excellent city grade of A-. Even with just a few nursing homes, this is still a great achievement. Bend has the distinction of being one of the five highest rated cities in the state of Oregon. This city's report card is also consistent as it did not receive a single weak category grade either. You can read more about these in the next section.
This city received a strong overall grade, but we also wanted to emphasize that we awarded Bend an impressive grade of A in the area of short-term care. High end grades in this category generally mean the city's nursing homes have favorable levels of physical therapy staffing. In addition, we also awarded Bend an A- for our nursing category. Rounding out its report card, this place earned grades of A- and B- for our inspections and long-term care areas respectively. Outside of its long-term care rating, this place's three other grades were just about as good as it gets.
