Every for-profit nursing home in Kent County, Michigan
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.
The Oaks At Byron Center runs about 4.08 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 6% above the national average, though weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday staffing. Staff turnover sits at 44.3%, which is essentially the national rate rather than an outlier in either direction. On its current record it carries 16 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and its most recent inspection was in December 2025. For a 60-bed for-profit corporate home, the mix is a solid inspection history paired with above-average staffing, offset by a weekend drop and a turnover rate that suggests steady churn rather than stability.
Medilodge Of Wyoming runs an 80-bed for-profit home in Kent County, and its most recent inspection, in July 2025, turned up ten deficiencies with none at the harm level and nothing abuse-related. Nurse staffing sits at 3.81 hours per resident day, a hair under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 12% below what the home staffs on weekdays, worth asking about if your family tends to visit Saturday or Sunday. Turnover is 46.2%, basically even with the national rate. The health inspection record is strong; the quality measure score is middling; staffing falls in between.
Mission Point runs lean on nurse staffing, 3.70 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 15% below its own weekday coverage, which matters when families visit less and problems go unnoticed longer. The 26 deficiencies on record include three at the harm or jeopardy level and eight tied to abuse, and there's a $45,438 fine on file. Turnover is 37.7%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so leadership isn't churning staff the way many for-profit homes do. Its last inspection was February 2026, so the record is current.
The Laurels of Kent runs on 3.09 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 6% below its own weekday levels, meaning the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 41.1%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers know these residents. What pulls the record down is the inspection side: 38 deficiencies, including 3 at the harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, plus a $62,010 fine. The most recent inspection was February 2026, so the picture is current. Ask about those harm-level findings specifically.
Harbor Post Acute Center runs 65 beds in Kent County under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.75 hours per resident day, roughly 23% above the national average. That's real coverage, though weekends run about 15% lighter than weekdays, and annual turnover of 58.9% means the faces around a resident change often. The inspection record is where the picture darkens: 42 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus 23 fines totaling $135,131. The most recent inspection was in December 2025. Strong staffing and a five-star quality measure score coexist here with a two-star inspection history, which is worth weighing carefully.
Optalis Health & Rehabilitation At Leonard runs 69 certified beds in Grand Rapids under corporate for-profit ownership, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.39 hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 8% thinner than weekdays, so coverage is lightest exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover at 61.5% is well above the 45.8% national figure, which means caregivers are cycling through faster than residents can build familiarity with them.
The inspection record shows 27 deficiencies with none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related, and the last inspection was April 2026. Ownership changed within the past year, so this is a home still settling into new management.
Mission Point runs 4.20 nurse hours per resident day, about 9% above the national average, and its quality measure and staffing stars both sit at 4 out of 5. But weekend staffing drops roughly 18% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover is 57.3% against a national 45.8%, meaning the people around your relative are changing constantly. The inspection record is where it gets harder to wave off: 50 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, three tied to abuse, and a $48,868 fine. The last inspection was June 2025. Corporate-owned, 58 beds. Solid numbers on paper, but a paper record with that many harm-level findings needs a visit, not a brochure.
Optalis Health & Rehabilitation Of Wyoming runs 92 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth noticing: 3.32 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14 percent under the national average, with weekends about 12 percent thinner than weekdays. Turnover sits at 40.3 percent, which is actually better than the 45.8 percent national figure, so the problem isn't retention so much as how few hours reach the floor. The inspection record is where things get serious, 40 deficiencies on file, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in January 2026. That combination of thin daily coverage and repeated serious findings is what a family should weigh before deciding.
Medilodge Of Grand Rapids runs 55 beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits just above the national average at 3.97 hours per resident day. That margin is thin, and weekends drop about 13% below the home's own weekday level. More telling is the 64.7% annual turnover, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the people caring for residents are frequently new or on their way out.
The inspection record carries 68 deficiencies, including 6 at the harm or jeopardy level and 3 tied to abuse. Three fines total $57,658. The most recent inspection was June 4, 2025. Quality measure scores look strong, but that strength sits on top of a staffing and compliance picture that raises real questions.
Optalis Health & Rehabilitation at Kent-Crossing runs 182 certified beds on Grand Rapids' southeast side, and the numbers tell two different stories. Nurse staffing sits at 3.75 hours per resident day, just under the national average, but weekends drop about 9% below the home's own weekday level, and turnover runs 56.1% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves within a year. Then there's the inspection record: 69 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 9 abuse-related, with ownership changing hands in the past year. That combination of high turnover and recent turnover in ownership is worth asking about directly when you visit.
Valley View Care Center runs 139 beds in Grand Rapids under corporate ownership, and the numbers pull in two directions. Nurse staffing sits at 3.65 hours per resident day, about 5% under the national figure, and weekend coverage drops roughly 11% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so the hours your family member gets depend partly on which day it is. Staff turnover of 43.5% is slightly better than average, which helps.
The trouble is the inspection record: 48 deficiencies, five of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, five tied to abuse, and three fines totaling $57,896. A health inspection rating of 1 out of 5 against decent quality and staffing scores is the tension worth asking about directly.
Mission Point in Grandville runs on a for-profit LLC structure with 114 certified beds, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.53 hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average, and weekends drop about 18% below the home's own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the real concern: 69 deficiencies, six at harm or jeopardy level, five abuse-related, and a single $198,188 fine, with the most recent inspection in May 2025. Staff turnover of 46.7% edges just above the national rate of 45.8%.
Optalis Health And Rehabilitation Of Grand Rapids runs 120 beds as a for-profit, individually owned home, and the numbers behind its record are hard to dress up. Nurse staffing sits at 3.39 hours per resident day, about 12 percent under the national average, with weekends roughly 10 percent below its own weekday coverage, and annual turnover hits 64.7 percent against a national 45.8. Its current inspection record carries 101 deficiencies, 12 at the harm or jeopardy level and 13 tied to abuse, along with two fines totaling $136,785, and CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of serious problems.
