There are two facilities in Mount Vernon, Washington, so at least you have a few choices. Sadly, this city received a city grade of D, which reflects the fact that these nursing homes generally did not fare well in our ratings. For comparison's sake, we assessed the facilities in the nearby city of Snohomish, which also received a below average city grade of D. Both cities received forgettable reviews in our assessment. We really don't have many positive things to say about this place's nursing homes, but they did receive surprisingly impressive short-term care scores.

While its overall grade was abysmal, we awarded Mount Vernon a B for our short-term care rating. This category obviously wasn't the source of this city's concerning overall grade. Our short-term care ratings are meaningful for individuals in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a broad spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Surprisingly, this city performed decently in the area of nursing as well, where it earned a grade of B- for that category. In the last two categories, this place received rock bottom grades in our inspections and long-term care categories respectively. As you can see, this city's long-term care score really dragged down its overall score.
