**THE VERDICT:** For families seeking nursing home care in Portland, IN, the options are limited. The standout is Persimmon Ridge Rehabilitation Centre, but overall, the market leaves much to be desired.

**WHO TO CONSIDER:** If you're considering Persimmon Ridge Rehabilitation Centre, it's worth noting its clean record, with zero fines over the past three years.
