Nurse hours

Staff turnover
28%
Serious cites

Nurse staffing at Holland Home Breton runs about 33% above the national average, and the weekend drop is only around 6%, small enough that care doesn't change much on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 28.1% against a national 45.8%, which matters because familiar aides tend to notice small changes sooner. The inspection record shows six deficiencies, none at the harm level and none related to abuse; the last state visit was in March 2025, so the picture is recent rather than stale. Three straight five-star ratings from CMS, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, back that up. As a nonprofit, this is a home that has kept its numbers steady across every category the federal government tracks.

Corewell Health Rehabilitation & Nursing Center runs about five hours of nursing care per resident each day, roughly 29% more than the national average of 3.86, a real edge, though weekends dip about 16% below its own weekday pace. Staff turnover sits at 33.7%, better than the 45.8% national rate, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. The inspection record is thin: one deficiency total, none involving harm or abuse, and the last state visit was July 2025, so the findings are recent. As a nonprofit with 80 beds, it's small enough that leadership likely knows the floor.

Raybrook Manor is a nonprofit home in Grand Rapids with 101 certified beds, and the numbers behind its grade are mostly about people. Nurse staffing runs 4.77 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, and only about 11% of that thins out on weekends. Annual turnover sits at 31.3% against a national average near 46%, which matters more than it sounds, since aides and nurses who stay put know the residents. The tradeoff shows up in its record: 21 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and four tied to abuse, though the most recent inspection this March earned 4 out of 5 stars. Worth asking about those abuse citations directly.

Staff turnover of 44.9 percent lands just under the national 45.8 percent. Combined with 5/5 stars on health inspections and staffing and 4/5 on quality measures, the numbers point to a home that's well-run on paper and worth a visit.

The Oaks at Belmont runs 4.37 nurse hours per resident day, about 13% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 22.6% is roughly half the national rate, that retention matters more than any single inspection score. The trade-off is weekends, when staffing drops about 12% below its own weekday level, so coverage isn't perfectly even across the week. The inspection record shows seven deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none involve abuse. That one higher-level finding is the main thing keeping this from a cleaner record. With the most recent inspection in January 2026 and a 60-bed for-profit corporate owner, the picture is a well-staffed home with one incident worth asking about directly.

St. Ann's Home runs on a church-affiliated nonprofit model with 55 certified beds, and the staffing numbers back up the care.

Staff turnover lands at 49.2%, slightly above the national rate of 45.8%, which is worth knowing when you're thinking about consistency of caregivers over time. The inspection record is recent and clean at the harm level: 14 deficiencies on file, none involving harm or jeopardy, none abuse-related. All three CMS star ratings, health inspection, quality measures, and staffing, come in at 5 out of 5.

Corewell Health's rehab unit in Grand Rapids runs on 4.58 nurse hours per resident day, about 19% above the national average, and that staffing shows up in its ratings, with five stars each on health inspections and quality measures. Weekend coverage dips roughly 12% below weekday levels, which is typical but worth knowing if you're planning visits. The 45.8% turnover rate lands exactly at the national average, so stability here is neither a strength nor a weakness.

Valley Health Center runs on unusually thick nurse coverage: 5.18 hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, and it holds onto staff far better than most, 22.9% turnover against a national 45.8%. Weekend hours dip about 8% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. The inspection record is recent (July 2025) and mostly clean, though ten deficiencies include one at the harm level and none related to abuse. Quality measure scores sit at 2 out of 5, which is the number worth asking about directly, staffing strength and quality ratings don't always tell the same story.
