Every Medicaid-certified nursing home in Wayne County, Michigan
Aberdeen runs lean on nursing hours, 3.42 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 8% below its own weekday level, which is when families tend to visit and notice. The bigger number is turnover: 68.2% of staff leaving in a year, well above the 45.8% norm. That churn matters because 36 deficiencies sit on the current record, three tied to abuse, though none reached the harm or jeopardy level. State inspectors were last in on September 11, 2025. It's a 120-bed for-profit home owned by an individual, and the staffing and quality ratings of 1 and 2 reflect what the numbers already say.
Beaconshire runs 99 certified beds in Detroit under individual for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to notice. Nurses give residents 3.38 hours of care per day against a national average of 3.86, roughly 13% less, and weekends drop about 12% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays. Annual turnover sits at 46.7%, a touch above the national rate, so the people providing that thinner coverage keep changing. The inspection record shows 49 deficiencies, including 3 at the harm or jeopardy level and 7 tied to abuse, with $23,994 in fines across three penalties. A January 2025 inspection is recent enough to reflect current conditions.
Optalis Health And Rehabilitation Of Canton runs 150 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers explain a lot. Nurses provide 3.44 hours per resident day, roughly 11 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 16 percent below the home's own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover sits at 73.4 percent against a national 45.8, meaning most of the people caring for your relative are new to the building. The inspection record backs this up: 74 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, eleven abuse-related, and one fine of $140,322. Quality measures score well, but that sits on top of a staffing and compliance picture that isn't reassuring.
