Nursing Homes in Chesterton, Indiana

With 24,207 people, Chesterton, Indiana is a relatively small city. There are only 3 nursing homes in the city, which does not provide you with too many options. The small number of nursing homes here received a city grade of C, which is not a strong grade at the city level. We actually found this city grade to be better than the grade we gave the nearby city of Cicero. With Cicero receiving a terrible grade, Chesterton appears to be a better option. We were pleased to find one strong nursing home in the city. This would be a smart place to begin your search.

This city received a fairly ordinary overall grade, however, we really would like to point out that some of its facilities nearly flawless health inspections the past few years. We gave it an elite grade of A- in this area. Our inspection grades account for several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this category tend to have few of these severe deficiencies. In addition, Chesterton also earned one of our better grades in our short-term care category, with a B. In the other categories we looked at, the city were awarded a grade of B- for nursing and a grade of D for long-term care. Even with otherwise respectable category grades, this city's poor long-term care score could be a problem for many prospective residents.
