Mishawaka, Indiana has just three nursing homes to choose from, which is not a ton of options. Unfortunately, we gave the nursing homes here city grade of D, which is a terrible score at the city level. We also looked at the facilities in the nearby city of Michigan City, which received a terrible city grade of F. While neither city comes highly recommended, Mishawaka surprisingly looks like the better option. If you aren't deterred by this city's profile, you can continue reading to find out about its category scores. This city's nursing homes surprisingly fared well in the area of inspections for example.
While its overall grade was as bad as it gets, we awarded Mishawaka a grade of B+ for our inspections rating. This category obviously was not the reason for its alarming overall grade. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. It is generally best to avoid nursing homes that have too many deficiencies. We also wanted to acknowledge that we gave the city a C in our short-term care category. Lastly, Mishawaka earned rock bottom grades for our nursing and long-term care categories respectively.
