With just two nursing homes in the city, there are only a couple of choices in Marshall, Michigan. These facilities didn't really excel from a quality perspective either. The city was awarded a city grade of C, which is not one of our better grades at the city level. This city's city grade was a bit better than the city grade of facilities in the local city of Battle Creek, which received a terrible city grade. If choosing between the two, Marshall looks like a better bet. The best part of this city's report card is its nursing homes' exemplary short-term care scores. Short-term care grades are discussed in the following paragraph.
Despite receiving a somewhat average overall grade, this city performed remarkably well in the area of short-term care. As a result, Marshall received one of our best grades in that category with an A-. Short-term care grades this high are a great sign for the physical and occupational therapy staffing levels at the nursing homes in this city. In addition, Marshall earned a B+ for our nursing category. Finally, Marshall earned grades of B- and F for our inspections and long-term care areas respectively. Clearly, this city's long-term care score really dragged down its overall score.
