Hawaii nursing homes are the fourth-highest ranked in the nation for overall quality and the Aloha State is only one of ten to receive an “A” grade.

In its first such state-by-state nursing home report card, Florida-based advocacy group Families for Better Care ranked Alaska the best, followed by No. 2 Rhode Island; No. 3 New Hampshire, Hawaii, and No. 5, Oregon.
