Staff turnover
40%

0

Bronson Commons has real strengths in its staffing, and they're worth naming: 4.43 nurse hours per resident day puts it about 15% above the national average, and turnover at 40.3% is better than the 45.8% typical elsewhere. Weekend coverage dips roughly 11% below weekday levels, though, so care may feel thinner on Saturdays and Sundays. What pulls the picture down is the inspection record, 21 deficiencies currently on file, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in June 2025. Federal quality and inspection ratings both sit at 2 out of 5. Strong hands on staff, but a compliance history that needs watching.

Canal View runs on strong nurse staffing, 4.90 hours per resident day, about 27% above the national average, which earns it the top CMS staffing rating. That's real coverage for 197 beds, though weekends dip roughly 12% below its own weekday level, and turnover sits at 47%, slightly above the national 45.8%. The trouble is on the inspection side. Twenty-two deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling about $39,988. A 3/5 on health inspections and 3/5 on quality measures pull down what the staffing numbers build up. County-owned, last inspected January 28, 2026. Good hands on deck, but a record that needs watching.

Staff turnover

Arbor Manor runs 4.73 nurse hours per resident day, about 22% above the national average, and that shows up in its staffing star rating. The catch is who's providing that care: annual turnover sits at 51.6%, several points above the national figure, and weekends run roughly 6% thinner than weekdays. The inspection record is the bigger concern, 36 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and one tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in March 2025. A for-profit corporation operates the 122-bed home. Strong daily staffing numbers, but consistency and compliance are where this one struggles.

Great Lakes Rehabilitation Center runs 55 certified beds in Saginaw under individual for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing comes in at 4.42 hours per resident day, roughly 14% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 6% below its own weekday level, so the weekday numbers aren't quite what a family sees on a Saturday. The inspection record is the harder read: 39 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, and a $21,244 fine, with the most recent inspection on January 14, 2026. CMS rates health inspections 2 out of 5 and staffing 2 out of 5, even as quality measures score 4 out of 5. Ask about that gap.

Serious cites

Harold and Grace Upjohn Community Care Center runs 87 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its staffing sits just under the national average at 3.76 nurse hours per resident day. Weekends run about 7% thinner than weekdays, so coverage dips when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 40.7%, better than the 45.8% national figure, and CMS gives the home 4 stars each for staffing and quality measures. The trouble is the inspection record: 56 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 abuse-related, with $31,186 in fines across two penalties. The most recent inspection was March 2025, and CMS rates that inspection history 2 out of 5 stars. Strong quality scores don't cancel out that many serious findings.

Staff turnover

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.

Wellspring Lutheran Services in Frankenmuth runs on a nonprofit model with 83 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.96 hours per resident day, roughly 3% above the national average of 3.86. That margin is real but thin, and weekends dip about 7% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the weekday-to-weekend gap is worth asking about directly. Turnover lands at 47.7%, just above the national 45.8%, meaning nearly half the nursing staff turns over in a year. The current record shows 26 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, a volume that reflects paperwork and process issues rather than resident safety. The most recent inspection was August 2025, so the picture is current.

Aerius Health Center in Riverview is a for-profit, individually owned home with 78 certified beds, and its inspection record is genuinely strong, a 2025-08-06 survey, 16 total deficiencies, none of them causing harm or jeopardy, and none abuse-related. Where it gets shakier is staffing: 3.63 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average, with weekend coverage dropping about 13% below its own weekdays. Annual turnover sits at 61.9% against a national 45.8%, so the people around your family member change often enough that consistency is a fair question to raise. A low staffing score next to high inspection and quality scores usually means the home does well when it's watched closely and thins out between visits, worth asking about directly.

The Gilbert Residence is a 32-bed nonprofit home in Ypsilanti with a recent inspection on record and no deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level, a meaningful distinction, since most of its 18 citations are paperwork and process issues rather than resident injury. Two abuse-related deficiencies still stand out. Staffing sits at 3.72 hours per resident day, about 4% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 7% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is the bigger concern at 54.3%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which matters more in a building this small where residents see the same few aides every day.

Iron County Medical Care Facility runs on county money, and the staffing shows it: 4.20 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average, with a top federal staffing rating. That's the strongest thing here. Weekends drop about 17% below weekday coverage, though, and turnover sits at 46.2%, essentially the national rate, so the bench isn't especially stable. The current record carries 15 deficiencies, three of them abuse-related, none at harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection was April 2025. Quality measures score low despite the strong staffing. The county runs a well-covered building with a documentation problem worth asking about directly.

Norlite Nursing Center sits in Marquette with 99 certified beds and a for-profit corporate owner. The staffing numbers look decent on paper, 4.29 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average, but weekends run about 15% lighter than weekdays, and turnover hits 50.7% against a national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents keep changing. The inspection record is where things get harder to ignore: 28 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level, four tied to abuse, and a $113,129 fine. That combination explains the 2/5 health inspection rating even as quality measures score 5/5. The most recent inspection was January 28, 2026. Ask about weekend coverage and turnover directly before deciding.

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.

Healthsource Saginaw is county-owned and staffed better than most: 4.32 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. That staffing edge is real, and it's the main reason the quality measure rating comes in at 4 out of 5. But the inspection record is where this home gets into trouble, 57 deficiencies on file, six of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way and three tied to abuse. Five fines add up to just under $270,000. Staff turnover sits at 48.8%, a bit worse than the national 45.8%, and weekend coverage drops about 18% below weekday levels, so the weekday numbers overstate what families actually see on Saturdays. The most recent inspection was July 2025.

Iron River Care Center runs on 2.97 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 15% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 29.3%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people who stay tend to stay. The problem is what inspectors found: 43 deficiencies on the current record, four involving harm or jeopardy and five tied to abuse, plus a $42,575 fine. The last inspection was August 2025, so the record is recent. Corporate-owned, 69 beds. Low staffing plus that many serious citations is the story here.

Maple Manor runs a 59-bed for-profit home in Wayne, and the staffing numbers stand out: 5.34 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 38% above the national average, with weekends holding within about 4% of weekday coverage. The catch is retention, 66.7% annual turnover against a national average near 46%, meaning a lot of the people providing that care are new. Its last inspection was July 2025 and the current record shows 20 deficiencies, though none at the harm level and none abuse-related. Quality measure scores sit at 2 out of 5. Plenty of hands on deck, but a constantly changing crew.

Helen Newberry Joy Hltcu Golden Leaves Living Cent runs 39 certified beds in Newberry as a nonprofit corporation. Staff turnover sits at 34.5%, better than the national average of 45.8%, a real bright spot, since stable caregivers matter for daily consistency. Everything else on the record pulls the other way. CMS gives this home just 1 out of 5 stars for both staffing and quality measures, and 2 out of 5 for health inspections. The current deficiency record totals 35, including 5 at the harm or jeopardy level and 3 tied to abuse. One fine of $24,420 is on file, and the last inspection was recent, August 28, 2025. With that many serious citations, ask pointed questions before considering a move here.

Lapeer County Medical Care Facility runs on county government ownership, and the staffing numbers tell a mixed story. Total nurse coverage sits at 3.72 hours per resident day, a bit under the national average of 3.86, and weekend staffing drops roughly 16% below what the home delivers on weekdays, meaning care gets thinner exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover at 40.4% is better than the national 45.8%, though still means a lot of new faces. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 41 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus a $68,445 fine. The most recent inspection was April 1, 2026. Weigh the steady county operation and above-average staffing rating against that inspection history.

Iosco County Medical Care Facility has real staffing depth, 6.11 nurse hours per resident day, well above the national average, and that's the strongest thing on its record. But nearly every employee who was here a year ago is gone, with turnover at 96.1% against a national norm under 46%. State inspectors have logged 33 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, including one abuse finding, and the most recent inspection closed out just this January. County-owned and 78 beds, the home earns a 4 on staffing but only a 2 on health inspections. High turnover undercuts even good staffing numbers; aides who don't stay long can't learn residents' routines or catch subtle changes in condition.

Lynwood Manor runs 84 certified beds in Adrian under individual for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.36 hours per resident day, roughly 13 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekends thin out further, running about 12 percent below the home's own weekday coverage, so the hours when families tend to visit are often the leanest. Annual turnover lands at 44.8 percent, close to the national 45.8 percent, meaning the staff is fairly stable even if there aren't as many of them. The current record carries 34 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, plus a $23,761 fine. The most recent inspection was June 4, 2025.
