We gave this city a city grade of C based on the quality of its nursing homes. This is not a great city grade. We found that most cities received a B or higher, leaving Merrillville on the wrong side of average. One of the highlights of this place's report card is its nursing homes' impressive inspection grades, which is addressed in the following paragraph.

This city's best category grade came in the area of inspections. In that category, we gave Merrillville a B. Our inspection ratings account for several factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category typically have few severe deficiencies. Merrillville also fared well in the area of health nursing with a grade of B. In our final two categories, Merrillville received a B- for short-term care and a grade of D in long-term care. In spite of an otherwise respectable profile, a long-term care score of this caliber may be a problem for some prospective residents.
