St. Ann's Home runs on a church-affiliated nonprofit model with 55 certified beds, and the staffing numbers back up the care. At 4.82 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly a quarter above the national average of 3.86, that's real difference in daily attention, even if weekends dip about 14% below its own weekday pace. 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.

Medilodge of Port Huron runs on 4.04 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, and its staff turnover of 22.9% is roughly half the national rate, a real signal that people tend to stay. Weekends get about 20% less staffing than weekdays, which is common but worth asking about if your family member needs more help on Saturdays and Sundays. The 14 deficiencies on record include one abuse-related finding, though none rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy, and the most recent inspection was in May 2025.

Mission Point in Roscommon runs 3.97 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, and its weekend staffing stays within about 20% of weekday levels, which is a narrower gap than many homes manage. Staff turnover of 28.6% sits well below the national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. Inspections tell a similar story: 16 deficiencies on record, but none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent visit in March 2026. For-profit corporate ownership is the one caveat worth noting. The numbers here are quiet, consistent, and mostly on the right side of average.

The Willows At East Lansing runs 65 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.86 hours per resident day, essentially dead even with the national average, not above it. Weekends drop about 16% below the home's own weekday coverage, so care thins out when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 30%, which is meaningfully better than the 45.8% national rate and suggests workers are staying. The current record shows 30 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in January 2026.

Munson Healthcare Otsego Memorial's long-term care unit in Gaylord runs 34 certified beds under nonprofit corporate ownership, and its staffing is the clearest strength here: 5.14 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 7% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover of 36.1% sits below the national 45.8%, so the people providing that care tend to stay. The caution is the inspection record, 15 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection dated April 2026. Solid staffing and a thinner margin for error on compliance can both be true at once.

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. Inspectors found 19 deficiencies on the current record, none causing harm and one tied to abuse, and the most recent inspection was in January 2026, recent enough to trust.

Nurse staffing here runs 4.64 hours per resident day, about 20 percent above the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips only around 11 percent below its own weekday level, a gap that matters because that's when families tend to visit and care needs don't pause. Staff turnover sits at 29.3 percent against a national figure of 45.8 percent, which suggests people stay. On the inspection side, the record shows four deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey dated April 2025. Quality measures scored lower than staffing and inspections, so the picture isn't perfect, but the core numbers point to a stable, well-covered building.

Nurse staffing at this Reed City home runs about 21% above the national average, 4.68 hours per resident day against 3.86, and weekend coverage dips only modestly from weekday levels, so care doesn't thin out as much when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 34.9%, meaningfully lower than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests a steadier workforce than many homes manage. The inspection record is clean where it matters most: five deficiencies total, none causing harm or jeopardy, none abuse-related, and the most recent survey was in December 2025. Nonprofit corporate ownership. The one soft spot is the quality measure rating at 3 out of 5, so ask what those specific measures cover.

Kalkaska Memorial runs on a hospital-district license, and its staffing is the clearest thing in its file: 4.98 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 29% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping about 12% below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 17.4% against a 45.8% national figure, so the aides and nurses you meet are more likely to still be there next year. The friction is inspections. Thirteen deficiencies on the current record, four of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus one fine of $10,549, and the last survey was July 2025. Strong hands-on care, a thinner safety and compliance record.

The Neighborhoods Of White Lake runs on 4.59 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 19% above the national average, and its staff turnover sits at 30% against a national 45.8%, people tend to stay here. Weekend coverage dips about 11% below weekday levels, which is common but worth asking about. The current record shows six deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related. A 5/5 inspection rating from a visit in May 2025 is the strongest part of the picture; quality measures land at 3/5. As a nonprofit with 39 beds, it's small enough that you can ask direct questions about those abuse citations and who's on duty Saturdays.

Memorial Healthcare Center runs on unusually heavy nurse coverage for its size, 7.77 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 12% from its own weekday pace. Staff turnover sits at 35.7%, roughly ten points better than the national figure, which matters in a 39-bed nonprofit building where you'd notice every departure. The inspection record is thin: one deficiency on file, none involving harm or abuse, and the most recent survey dates to January 2026. Quality measures score lower than the staffing and inspection marks, so the care process data isn't as strong as the hands-on hours suggest.

Covenant Skilled Nursing runs 39 beds in Saginaw under nonprofit ownership, and the staffing numbers are the real story here: 4.96 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 28% above the national average, with a 5/5 CMS staffing rating to match. Turnover sits at 36.7%, below the national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. Weekends run about 13% thinner than weekdays, which is worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays or Sundays. The current record shows 20 deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in March 2026. Quality measures rate 4/5, health inspections 3/5.

Ihm Senior Living Community runs lean on risk and heavy on staff. The Monroe nonprofit logs 4.63 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth more than the national average, and turnover sits below the norm at 40.8%, both signs of a stable floor crew. Inspections back that up: three deficiencies on record, none causing harm, none tied to abuse, and the most recent survey dates to March 2026. The one soft spot is weekends, when coverage drops about 12% from weekday levels, so ask how that gap gets filled. Ownership is nonprofit, which usually means decisions stay local rather than tied to a chain's quarterly targets.

Oceana County Medical Care Facility runs on 6.05 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 57 percent more than the national average of 3.86, and its staffing star rating reflects that. Weekend coverage dips about 16 percent below its own weekday level, worth knowing if your visits fall on Saturdays or Sundays, but turnover sits at 25.9 percent against a national 45.8 percent, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. The inspection record is clean where it matters most: five deficiencies total, none at the harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and the last survey was in July 2025. County-owned and recently inspected, with quality measures scoring mid-range, this is a home whose strengths rest on consistent staffing and a clean regulatory record rather than standout clinical metrics.

Huron County Medical Care Facility runs on public money and, by the numbers, spends it well. Nurse staffing sits at 5.57 hours per resident day, roughly 44% above the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips only about 17% below weekday levels, which is a modest drop for a county home. The 36.1% turnover rate is lower than the 45.8% national figure, so the people providing that care tend to stick around. Inspectors logged 23 deficiencies but none at the harm or jeopardy level and none involving abuse, with the most recent inspection in July 2025. For a family weighing options, that combination of staffing depth and a clean harm record is the part worth paying attention to.

Martha T Berry Mcf runs on county money, and the numbers show a home that mostly holds up. Nurse staffing sits at 5.05 hours per resident day, roughly a third above the national average, with turnover at 44.5%, essentially level with the national rate. Weekends drop about 21% below weekday coverage, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. The record isn't clean: 17 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and two tied to abuse. A 4/5 inspection rating and an April 2026 survey mean oversight has been recent. For a 217-bed county home, the staffing is the strongest signal here.

Mackinac Straits runs a tight staffing ship: 4.27 nurse hours per resident day beats the national average by about 11%, and the weekend dip is only around 7%, which is modest compared to what many homes see. Turnover sits at 23.3%, roughly half the national rate, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. The trade-offs show up elsewhere. The health inspection record includes 13 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way and one tied to abuse, and quality measures score poorly at 2 stars despite the recent May 2025 inspection. Nonprofit ownership and strong staffing are real strengths; the deficiency record is the piece families should ask about.

Briarwood is a 117-bed for-profit home in Flint, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.66 hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average, and weekends run about 10% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover at 40.6% is actually better than the national 45.8%, which matters for consistency of care. The inspection record is the weak spot: 42 deficiencies on file, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none abuse-related. The most recent inspection was April 2025, so the picture is current. Quality measures score well and staffing holds up, but 42 deficiencies is a lot to carry.

Westlake Health Campus runs a 61-bed for-profit home in Commerce, and its staffing is the clearest strength in the file: 4.19 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average, with a 5/5 CMS staffing rating and turnover at 34.3%, well under the 45.8% national figure. Weekend coverage does slip about 13% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record is more mixed: 21 deficiencies on file, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none abuse-related. The most recent inspection was January 2026, so that picture is current, not stale.

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.
