How CCRC homes in Michigan compare
This group set against every nursing home in Michigan, from the current CMS release.
Froh Community Home runs on noticeably thin nurse coverage, 2.61 hours per resident day, roughly a third below the national average, and weekends dip about 13% below what the home staffs on weekdays. The trade-off is stability: turnover sits at 18.8% against a national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay, and quality measures score well. But the inspection record carries weight: 19 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, one tied to abuse, and a single fine of $125,564. A May 2025 inspection is recent enough to trust. As a church-affiliated nonprofit, there's no ownership chain pulling profit out, but low staffing hours and harm-level findings are what families should ask about directly.
The Rivers Health & Rehabilitation Center of Gross sits in Grosse Pointe Woods with 86 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership. Nurse staffing runs 4.08 hours per resident day, about 6% above the national average, but weekends drop roughly 16% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 53.8%, noticeably higher than the 45.8% national figure, which means you'll likely see unfamiliar faces across a given year. Inspections are recent (August 2025) and the health inspection rating is 4 out of 5, with 20 deficiencies on record and none at the harm or jeopardy level, no abuse citations.
Regency At Livonia runs 128 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.51 hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 15% below the home's own weekday level, which matters if you're visiting Saturday or Sunday and want to know who's actually on the floor. Staff turnover hits 55% against a national 45.8%, so aides and nurses cycle through faster than average.
The current record shows 31 deficiencies, one of them serious enough to be flagged at the harm level, though none tied to abuse. Its last inspection was March 3, 2026, so the picture is recent. Quality measures score well above its staffing and inspection results, worth asking how that gap gets reconciled.
Corewell Health Rehabilitation & Nursing Center runs 196 certified beds in Dearborn as a nonprofit, and its numbers pull in different directions. Nurse staffing sits at 3.07 hours per resident day, roughly 21 percent under the national average, and weekends run about 14 percent thinner than weekdays, a pattern families often feel on Saturday and Sunday. Turnover is 36.5 percent, better than the national 45.8 percent, so the people who stay tend to stay. The current inspection record carries 20 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating. Quality measures score 5 out of 5, which makes the thin weekday-and-weekend coverage and that deficiency list the parts worth asking about directly.
Covenant Village of the Great Lakes runs on 4.28 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average, which is the main reason its staffing rating holds at 4 out of 5. That figure softens on weekends, though, when coverage drops about 11% below the home's own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 50%, a bit above the 45.8% national mark, so the people caring for residents change fairly often. The 22 deficiencies on record include nothing tied to harm, jeopardy, or abuse, and the last inspection closed in March 2026. Quality measures are the weak spot here, scoring 2 out of 5, even as inspections earned 4.
Caretel Inns of Brighton runs 60 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.97 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86. That margin is thinner than it sounds once you factor in weekends, when coverage drops roughly 16% below the home's own weekday level. The bigger concern is turnover: 68.1% annually against a national average of 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents are relatively new to the building. The current inspection record shows 29 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse. Its last inspection was February 2026, so the findings are recent.
Windemere Park's recent inspection history is its strongest card, a four-star health inspection rating with 24 deficiencies on record and none at the harm or jeopardy level, though two abuse-related citations are worth asking about directly. Staffing is where the picture gets thinner. At 3.80 nurse hours per resident day, it sits just under the national average, and weekends run about 11% below its own weekday coverage. The bigger number is turnover: 67.9% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for your relative this year likely won't be there next year. That churn matters more than a star rating when you're thinking about consistency of daily care.
Clark Retirement Community runs 39 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.55 hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 7% below the home's own weekday levels, and annual turnover hits 50% against a national 45.8%. The current inspection record shows 28 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 3 tied to abuse. Its last inspection was July 30, 2025. Federal ratings put health inspections and staffing at 2 out of 5 stars each, with quality measures at 3. For a family weighing this one, the staffing shortfall and the abuse-related findings are the two things worth asking about directly.
Gogebic Medical Care Facility runs on noticeably thin staffing: 2.89 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends about 7% leaner than weekdays. Turnover sits at 40.4%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, so the county does hold onto workers somewhat more reliably than many operators. The inspection record is the harder read, 10 deficiencies, four of them at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus a $16,153 fine, on a survey completed March 4, 2025. Quality and inspection scores both land at 2 out of 5, staffing at 1.
Burcham Hills runs on more nursing hours than most places, about 4.49 per resident per day against a national average near 3.86, but those hours thin out on weekends and the staff doing them turn over at 65.9% a year, well above the 45.8% norm. The inspection record is where the trouble concentrates: 53 deficiencies, seven serious enough to put residents in harm's way, five tied to abuse, and a $37,557 fine, with the most recent look coming in May 2025. A nonprofit corporation owns the 133-bed building. Strong bedside hours can't outweigh that kind of citation history, especially when the people providing the care keep leaving.
The Orchards At Canterbury On The Lake runs on thinner staffing than most homes, at 3.50 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 16% below its own weekday levels. Its inspection record carries 73 deficiencies, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and 12 tied to abuse, with one $45,461 fine and a health inspection rating of 1 out of 5. The quality measure rating sits at 3, but that measures resident outcomes, not whether the building has enough hands on deck.
Orchard Creek runs 5.75 nurse hours per resident day, roughly half again the national average, and its staff turnover sits just under the national figure, so the people caring for your relative tend to stay. Weekends are thinner, about 16% below weekday coverage, worth asking about if you visit Saturdays. The trouble is the inspection record: 19 deficiencies, two serious enough to put residents in harm's way, five tied to abuse. That mix, strong daily staffing, weak state survey results, is why this small for-profit home lands in the middle rather than near the top. Ask directly what changed since the September 2025 inspection.
Caretel Inns of Linden runs 3.45 nursing hours per resident day, about 11% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 9% below what the home staffs on weekdays. That gap matters most when families visit on Saturdays and Sundays, since fewer hands are on the floor. Annual turnover sits at 57.5% against a national 45.8%, and the home carries 58 deficiencies on its current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. A 2/5 on health inspections and 2/5 on staffing, offset by a 4/5 on quality measures, suggests the clinical tracking looks better than the day-to-day oversight.
Church Of Christ Care Center runs 129 certified beds as a church-affiliated nonprofit, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.58 hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the 3.86 national average, with weekends running about 5% leaner than its own weekdays. Annual turnover is 54.2% against a national 45.8%, so more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The inspection record shows 28 deficiencies, including three at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $40,940; the most recent inspection was August 2025. CMS rates it 2 out of 5 on health inspections, 2 on staffing, and 1 on quality measures, a pattern where weaker clinical outcomes line up with thinner staffing.
