Porter Hills Health Center runs on numbers that hold up. Nurse staffing sits at 4.58 hours per resident day, roughly 19 percent above the national average, and turnover is 30 percent against a national 45.8, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stick around. The home carries nine deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related. Its last inspection was in July 2025, and it earned five stars for both health inspections and staffing, four for quality measures. Weekend staffing dips only about 4 percent below its own weekday level. Ownership is nonprofit. For 39 beds, that's a stable, well-staffed operation.

Serious cites
0

Thornapple Manor is county-owned, and its staffing reflects that public backing: 4.95 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 28% above the national average, which is why CMS gives it 5 out of 5 stars on staffing. Turnover sits at 39.7%, better than the 45.8% national figure, though weekend coverage drops about 18% below weekday levels. The trade-off shows up in its record: 21 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection dated April 2026. Strong day-to-day staffing and a solid four-star inspection rating, but those harm-level and abuse findings are worth asking about directly before you decide.

Serious cites
0

Newaygo County's county-owned home in Fremont runs on 4.74 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter above the national average, and weekend staffing dips only about 6% from weekday levels, a smaller drop than many homes show. Staff turnover sits at 30.5%, well under the national 45.8%, which matters for residents who need consistent caregivers. The inspection record shows seven deficiencies with none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was in May 2025, so the findings are current. Quality measures land mid-range at three stars while staffing and inspections each earn five. For a 116-bed nonprofit, the pattern is steady hands and clean surveys rather than standout clinical scores.

Argentine Care Center runs on unusually thick nurse coverage: 5.01 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and that shows up as a five-star staffing rating. The catch is weekends, when hours drop roughly 13% below the home's own weekday level, so the care you'd see on a Tuesday isn't quite what a Saturday looks like. Staff turnover sits at 46.8%, basically the national rate, meaning nearly half the workforce turns over each year. Inspections turned up 25 deficiencies with none at harm or jeopardy level, but one is abuse-related, and the last full inspection was March 2026. Corporate for-profit ownership, 60 beds.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Maple Manor Rehab Center Of Novi runs 72 certified beds in Oakland County under corporate, for-profit ownership. The staffing numbers are the strongest part of the picture: 5.84 nurse hours per resident day, roughly half again the national average, and weekend coverage barely dips below weekdays. Turnover sits at 41%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. Inspections tell a more mixed story, 32 deficiencies on the current record, including one at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with the most recent visit in March 2025. Michigan survey averages run high, so 32 isn't unusual for a building this size, but the abuse citations are worth asking about directly before you decide.

Bishop Noa Home runs on strong staffing for a nonprofit in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, 5.05 nurse hours per resident day, about a third more than the national average, though weekends dip roughly 12% below its own weekday pace. The tradeoff sits in its inspection history: 23 deficiencies on record, including two tied to abuse, none rising to actual harm or jeopardy. Inspectors were last in on April 29, 2026, so the record is current rather than stale. CMS gives it middle marks for health inspections and better ones for quality measures and staffing. What you're weighing is a well-staffed building with a longer-than-ideal citation list, not a clean slate.

Hillsdale Hospital Mcguire & Macritchie Long Term runs 38 certified beds under nonprofit ownership, and the nurse staffing here sits well above what most homes provide, 5.70 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover of 51.5% edges past the national 45.8%, so continuity of caregivers is worth asking about directly. The inspection record shows nine deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, which matters more than any star rating. The last inspection was recent, December 2025, so that picture is current rather than stale.

The inspection record shows 26 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, though the most recent inspection was June 2025, so that picture is fairly current. Staff turnover is 31.6%, better than the 45.8% national average. Quality measures score well, staffing is decent, and inspections land in the middle.

Weekend coverage dips about 8% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 28.2%, noticeably better than the 45.8% national figure, and the most recent inspection closed in September 2025.

Manistee County Medical Care Facility runs on unusually heavy staffing for a county-owned home, 6.28 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 63% above the national figure, with weekend coverage dipping about 22% below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 30.9%, well under the 45.8% national average, and the most recent inspection in December 2025 produced 13 deficiencies, none at the harm level, one abuse-related. Quality measures score 2 out of 5 stars even as inspections and staffing both hit 5, so the sharpest split here is between what the state found on site and what the federal quality data shows. Ask to see the plan of correction for that abuse citation.
