With 90,669 people, Franklin, Tennessee is a decent size city. Amazingly, there is just one nursing home there. Fortunately, its only nursing home received an excellent overall grade of A-. For comparison's sake, we also looked at the nursing homes in the nearby city of Nashville, which has some good nursing homes of its own.

This city's sole nursing home received a strong overall grade, but we gave them an impressive grade of A+ in short-term care. Our short-term care grade is generally used to judge a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. To provide good rehabilitation services, facilities generally must provide higher levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. This facility also performed especially well in our nursing category. In fact, it received a grade of A. Rounding out its profile, we awarded the city grades of A and D for our inspections and long-term care areas respectively. Outside of its abysmal long-term care rating, this city's three other categories were outstanding.
