Nursing homes across Jackson County, Michigan, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Vista Grande Villa runs 60 beds as a nonprofit, and its record is a mixed bag worth reading carefully. The clinical numbers look strong, with top marks on quality measures, but nurse staffing sits at 3.64 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 16% thinner than weekdays, which is when families tend to visit and notice. Inspections since February 2026 turned up 27 deficiencies, five of them abuse-related, though none rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy. A recent inspection plus that many findings means the survey history is doing more work here than the quality scores suggest.
Cascade Senior Care Center in Jackson runs 4.27 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average of 3.86, which is the strongest thing in its file. Weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday staffing, so coverage thins out on Saturdays and Sundays. The current record carries 34 deficiencies, three of them at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was June 4, 2025. CMS gives it middling marks for health inspections and staffing, with quality measures scoring better. For-profit individual ownership, 108 certified beds. The staffing is real, but so are those deficiencies.
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.
Mission Point Health Campus Of Jackson runs 50 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.17 hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average of 3.86. That cushion thins on weekends, when coverage drops about 10% below the home's own weekday level, and turnover runs 61.9% against a national 45.8%, so the faces change often. The inspection record is the harder read: 47 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection dated March 4, 2026. Quality measures score well, but a one-star health inspection rating against that deficiency history is what a family should weigh first.
Jackson County Medical Care Facility runs a county-owned home of 194 beds where the bedside math is genuinely strong: 5.37 nurse hours per resident day, about 39% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping roughly 9% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 23.5%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters for residents who want to see the same faces. The trouble is inspection history, 20 deficiencies on the current record, two at harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a single $68,744 fine, with the last inspection dated April 2026. Strong hands-on care and a troubled survey record can coexist, and here they do.
Faith Haven runs on thinner staffing than most homes, 3.46 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 8% below what the building manages Monday through Friday. That gap matters, because aides and nurses are the people who notice when a resident is declining or hasn't been turned. Annual turnover sits at 51.6%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, so the staff who do show up are often new to the floor.
The inspection record is heavier: 37 deficiencies, five tied to abuse and four serious enough to put residents in harm's way. One fine of $15,872 has been levied. Even with a recent inspection in March 2026, that record under a for-profit corporate owner is what a family should be asking about directly.
Regency At Jackson runs on 2.84 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 14% below its own weekday staffing, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 79 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level, and 14 tied to abuse. A single fine of $15,593 and a 1-out-of-5 inspection rating sit alongside 1 out of 5 for staffing, even as quality measures rate 3. That gap matters, the care processes may look average on paper, but the hands available to deliver them and the survey history tell a different story.
