With 17,347 people, Escanaba, Michigan is a small city. There are only 3 nursing homes there, which does not give you too many options. The nursing homes in this city received a very good city grade of B+. Even with only a couple of facilities, this is still a great sign. Even in a state with many good cities to find nursing homes, we ranked Escanaba as one of the twenty five highest rated cities in Michigan. Fortunately, this city's nursing homes did not have any weak links in any of the four major categories. Additional information about its category grades is available in the next section.
As mentioned above, this city received a strong overall grade, but we especially wanted to emphasize that some of the city's facilities received almost perfect health inspections the past few years. We awarded Escanaba an elite grade of A- for this area. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Places with better grades in this area most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. In addition, Escanaba also excelled in the category of health nursing with a B+. Rounding out its quality profile, Escanaba earned a B for short-term care and a B in long-term care. This city really didn't have any weak links based on our assessment.
