With 92,865 people, Lynnwood, Washington is a medium size city. Surprisingly, there are just 2 nursing homes there, which is not quite as many as we expected in a city of this size. These facilities earned on average an overall grade of C. This isn't a terrible grade, but it is not as strong of a grade as we like to see either. Surprisingly, this place's city grade narrowly surpassed the city grade of nursing homes in the local city of Kent, which received an awful city grade. We would advise you to be very selective in either city. One of the major highlights of this city's report card is its stellar short-term care grade, which we will address in the next section.
Despite receiving a fairly ordinary overall grade, the nursing homes in Lynnwood performed remarkably well in the area of short-term care. As a result, we awarded Lynnwood one of our highest grades in that category with an A-. With a short-term care grade in this range we would expect the majority of the facilities this city to a high functioning physical therapy and rehabilitation program. Lynnwood also excelled in the area of health nursing with a B+. In the last two categories, this place received grades of C and F for our inspections and long-term care categories respectively. As you can see, this city's long-term care score really pulled down its overall score.
