What to ask about before you visit

These are findings in the public CMS record for this home. They are not our opinion, each one comes straight from a federal inspection or enforcement file.

  • $67,985 in federal fines

  • Nursing staff turnover of 65%

Our read on Medilodge Of Grand Rapids

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.
