There are two nursing homes in Portage, Indiana, so at least you have a few options to choose from. This city received a city grade of C based on its overall nursing home quality. This is not a great city grade. We also assessed the nursing homes in the nearby city of Hobart. While we aren't raving about either city, we found the facilities in Portage to be a bit better. The best part of this place's report card is is its inspection reports. Inspection reports are discussed in the next paragraph.
It should also be noted that this city's inspection score was superior to its overall grade. In fact, we gave Portage a B+ for its inspection rating, which is one of our better scores. Our inspection grades account for several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this category generally have few of these severe deficiencies. This city's next highest score was in our short-term care category, where it received a grade of B-. In our final two categories, the city earned a C for its nursing rating and a grade of D for long-term care. Even with an otherwise respectable performance, this city's poor long-term care rating may be a concern for many prospective residents.
