Congratulations, Escanaba! http://www.uppermichiganssource.com/...aspx?id=580865

U.S. News and World Report has named an Escanaba nursing home in its list of Top Michigan Nursing Homes of 2011.

Last week, a health care management official made the announcement that Christian Park Village had made the list.

Every year, the federal government surveys nursing homes around the country, and Christian Park has consistently maintained a five star quality rating.

The news was another reason for the 59 residents to celebrate during their Valentine's Day party.

"We've put flyers up; we've made an announcement today," said Lynnette Johnson of Christian Park Village. "We made an announcement to the residents last week. We're also going to be putting it in our newsletter."

Four nursing homes in the U.P. were also named. There were 63 nursing homes selected in the State of Michigan.
