Schnepp Senior Care And Rehabilitation Center in St. Louis grades highest at A (96 out of 100).
How for-profit homes in Michigan compare
This group set against every nursing home in Michigan, from the current CMS release.
Court Manor in Bad Axe runs on thin nursing coverage, 2.69 hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 19% below what the home already provides on weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 50.7%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents are changing often. That shows up in the inspection record: 34 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and a two-star health inspection rating. Quality measures score well at four stars, but staffing earns one. For-profit, individually owned, recently inspected in January 2026.
Medilodge Of Westwood runs 97 beds in Kalamazoo under for-profit LLC ownership, and its current inspection record is the number that stands out: 86 deficiencies, seven of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way and nine tied to abuse. Staffing sits at 3.64 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average, and weekends drop about 17% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays. Annual turnover is 52.3%, well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning the people caring for residents are constantly changing. The last inspection was June 2025, and CMS has fined the home $65,535 across two actions. Quality measures score better than its inspection history does, but the gap between them is worth asking about directly.
Mission Point Nursing in Hancock runs a 39-bed for-profit home where the bedside staffing numbers look decent on paper, 3.99 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, but weekends drop about 16% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover hits 62.7% against a national 45.8%. Those two facts together mean the person caring for your relative on a Sunday is often new and still learning the building. The inspection record is the bigger problem: 52 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus a $180,775 fine. The most recent inspection was July 2025. Quality measure scores look strong; the direct-care and oversight record does not.
Pine Creek Manor runs 49 certified beds in Wayne under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing is the first thing to notice: 2.80 total nurse hours per resident day, roughly 28 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 8 percent below its own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 48.7 percent, modestly above the 45.8 percent national figure. The March 2025 inspection earned a 4-star health inspection rating, and none of the 19 deficiencies on record reached harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related and quality measures score just 2 stars.
Caretel Inns of Tri-Cities runs 60 beds in Bay City under corporate for-profit ownership, and the numbers tell a story worth hearing before you tour. Nurse staffing sits at 3.81 hours per resident day, roughly a percent under the national average, and weekends dip about 10% below what the home staffs on weekdays, which matters if your family visits on Saturdays. Annual turnover hits 63% against a national 45.8%, so the aide who knows your mother in March may be gone by fall. The inspection record is the harder part: 43 deficiencies, 8 of them at harm or jeopardy level, and $222,512 in fines across four penalties. The last inspection was August 2025.
Optalis Health & Rehabilitation of Bloomfield Hills runs 159 certified beds as a for-profit partnership, and the numbers behind its record deserve a close look. Nurse staffing sits at 3.58 hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average, and weekends run about 10% thinner than weekdays, so coverage tightens exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is the bigger problem: 91.2%, double the national rate. Inspectors have cited 79 deficiencies, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and five abuse-related, with one fine of $45,935 on record. If you're considering this home, ask how they're holding onto caregivers.
Optalis Health And Rehabilitation Of Kingsford runs 107 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and nurse staffing sits at 3.24 hours per resident day, roughly 16% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 11% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage thins exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is 45.5%, essentially matching the national 45.8%, so that's not the issue here. The inspection record is: 58 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, and $130,734 in fines across four penalties, with the most recent inspection in June 2025. Quality measures score well, but the health inspection side is where the trouble concentrates.
The Villa At Silverbell Estates runs 3.37 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13% under the national average, and weekend coverage slips about 9% below its own weekday levels. Annual staff turnover sits at 57.4% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. Its inspection record carries 46 deficiencies, including four at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, with one fine of $36,030 and a most recent inspection on May 5, 2026. The quality measure stars look strong, but those reflect resident assessments, not the staffing and inspection problems underneath.
Woodward Hills runs 190 beds as a for-profit corporation, and its nurse staffing sits right at the national average, 3.87 hours per resident day against 3.86, with weekends about 14% thinner than weekdays. The bigger concern is its inspection record: 63 deficiencies, five at the harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $56,072 and a one-out-of-five health inspection rating. Staff turnover is 55.9%, well above the 45.8% national average, though its quality measure rating is a perfect five. That gap between how residents' care is measured and how the building is actually run is worth asking about directly.
The Orchards At Warren runs on 3.35 nursing hours per resident per day, about 13 percent under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 8 percent below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage tracks with a one-star CMS staffing rating. The home's current record carries 36 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus one fine of $21,273; its last inspection was in December 2025. State surveyors rated health inspections and quality measures two stars each, so the weak spots aren't isolated to staffing. Corporate for-profit ownership of this 134-bed Macomb County home rounds out the picture.
Majestic Care of Battle Creek runs on 3.00 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average, and the weekend gap makes that thinner still, about 6% less coverage than weekdays. That low staffing number is the real story behind its C grade, and it's the same number driving a 2-out-of-5 staffing star. Turnover sits at 62.5%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people providing that care keep changing. The current record shows 38 deficiencies, one abuse-related, though none reached harm or jeopardy level. It's corporate-owned and was last inspected in January 2026, so that record is recent.
Chesaning Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs 51 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.57 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average. Weekends drop about 15% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the bigger issue: 40 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to indicate harm or jeopardy, plus $41,898 in fines across two penalties. Turnover at 43.9% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, and there are no abuse-related citations. A December 2025 inspection is recent, but the health and quality ratings sit at 2 out of 5 stars each.
The Orchards At Big Rapids runs a 100-bed for-profit building, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.31 hours per resident day, roughly 14% under the national average of 3.86, with weekend coverage about 13% below what it manages on weekdays. That thin margin shows up in a 2-out-of-5 staffing rating. The inspection record is heavier than the star ratings suggest: 33 deficiencies on file, five of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, three tied to abuse, and one fine totaling $55,711. Its last inspection was March 13, 2025, so the picture is current. For-profit corporate ownership, mid-range quality and health inspection scores, and below-average staffing together explain the C.
Maple Valley Nursing Home runs a small 25-bed operation in Leelanau County, and the numbers pull in different directions. Nurse staffing sits slightly above the national average at 3.96 hours per resident day, but weekends run about 16% thinner than weekdays, and more than half the staff turns over each year, 55.2% against a national 45.8%. The inspection record is where the trouble concentrates: 63 deficiencies, eight serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy, eight tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $119,265. That April 2025 inspection is recent, so the picture is current, not stale. For-profit corporate ownership, high turnover, and a thin weekend crew are the context behind a one-star health inspection rating.
Royalton Manor runs on 3.29 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average, and weekends drop about 16% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 44.6%, basically in line with the national figure, so the problem here isn't churn, it's raw coverage, especially on Saturdays and Sundays.
The inspection record is the heavier issue: 56 deficiencies currently on file, three at harm or jeopardy level, four tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $173,966. A 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating against a 3-out-of-5 quality measure rating tells you the clinical metrics look steadier than the survey history does. The most recent inspection was April 2025, so that record is current, not stale.
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.
Harmony Village of Clawson runs a 120-bed for-profit operation where the staffing numbers look decent on paper, 4.23 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average, but that average hides a 57% annual turnover rate, well past the national 45.8%, and weekends run about 15% thinner than weekdays. The inspection record is where things fall apart: 114 deficiencies on the current record, 11 of them at harm or jeopardy level and 29 abuse-related, plus two fines totaling $193,106. CMS has placed the home in its Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for the most persistently troubled nursing homes in the country. The most recent inspection was March 20, 2025.
Heritage Manor runs 122 beds in Detroit under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.55 hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average, with weekends dropping about 14% below its own weekday levels. Annual turnover of 53.6% means more than half the nursing staff leaves each year, well above the 45.8% national figure. The current inspection record carries 44 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and eight tied to abuse. A recent inspection date helps, and resident quality measures score well, but the inspection history and thin weekend coverage are what a family should weigh when deciding.
Christian Park Health Care Center runs 99 certified beds in Escanaba under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth knowing. Nurse coverage sits at 3.38 hours per resident day, about 12% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 8% below the home's own weekday level, so the thinnest shifts come when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 54.5% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing team turns over in a year. The current record carries 20 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with one fine of $36,651. The last inspection was January 23, 2025. Ask about weekend coverage and how they've addressed those harm-level findings.
Brittany Manor runs 138 beds in Midland under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing is the genuine bright spot: 4.06 nurse hours per resident day, about 5% above the national average, with a five-star CMS staffing rating. Turnover sits at 45.9%, essentially identical to the national 45.8%, no better, no worse. Weekend coverage dips roughly 11% below weekday levels, so care thins out when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the problem. Twenty-two deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level, two abuse-related, and a two-star health inspection rating, with the last inspection in March 2025. Strong staffing is doing a lot of work holding up a record that otherwise looks shaky.
