There are two facilities in Salem, Indiana, which at least gives you a few choices. The small number of nursing homes in this city received a city grade of C, which is not a strong grade at the city level. For comparison's sake, we also assessed the nursing homes in the nearby city of Martinsville. While we not writing glowing reviews about either city, we found the nursing homes in Salem to be a bit better. Looking at the individual nursing homes in the city, none of them really stood out. That being said, we were still able to find a single decent nursing home in the city.
While its overall grade was not elite, we awarded this city's nursing homes an A for our inspections rating. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this area most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. In addition, the city also received strong short-term care rating where it received a B in this area. In our final two categories, this place received concerningly weak grades for our nursing and long-term care areas respectively.
