Nursing homes across Washtenaw County, Michigan, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Chelsea Retirement Community runs on more nursing hours than most places, 4.44 per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, with weekend coverage dipping about 11% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 37.4%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The home's last inspection was in August 2025 and turned up 13 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, the kind of paperwork and process findings that show up at many otherwise well-run buildings. Its inspection and staffing ratings both come in at the top of CMS's scale, backed by nonprofit ownership.
Glacier Hills runs on more nursing hours than most homes in the country, 4.71 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and that gap shows up where it matters, since the place hasn't logged a single deficiency tied to harm or abuse. The catch is weekends, when staffing drops roughly 17 percent below its own weekday level, so the coverage your family sees on a Tuesday isn't quite what shows up on a Sunday. Thirteen deficiencies sit on the record, none serious, and the last full inspection was recent enough to trust. It's a nonprofit with steady numbers across staffing and quality measures, and 105 beds is small enough that you're not a room number.
Evangelical Home - Saline is a church-affiliated nonprofit with 143 certified beds, and its nurse staffing runs about 20% above the national average at 4.63 hours per resident day. That's a real margin in a field where most homes sit closer to 3.86. The catch is consistency: weekend staffing drops roughly 11% below its own weekday level, so coverage isn't the same on a Saturday as a Tuesday. Annual turnover sits at 51.2%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, and the current record shows 35 deficiencies, none at the harm level, though two are abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. The last inspection was recent, January 2026.
The Villa At Parkridge runs 144 certified beds in Ypsilanti under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing numbers tell the clearest story: 3.27 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 5% below its own weekdays. That thin coverage helps explain a 50.5% annual turnover rate, which sits above the 45.8% national figure and means the people caring for residents are frequently new to the building. The inspection record carries 49 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, and the last inspection was March 10, 2026. Quality measure scores run high, but staffing and inspection ratings both sit at 2 out of 5.
Regency At Bluffs Park runs 71 certified beds in Ann Arbor under corporate, for-profit ownership, and its staffing is the bright spot: 4.35 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13% above the national average, though weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday levels. The trouble sits elsewhere. Its inspection record shows 50 deficiencies, including six at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, with one fine of $26,852 and a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating. Staff turnover lands at 48.7%, slightly above the national 45.8%. The most recent inspection was April 23, 2025. Good daily staffing can't offset a citation history that serious.
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.
Regency At Whitmore Lake runs 131 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its last inspection came in March 2025. The record behind that visit is heavy: 85 deficiencies total, 7 of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, 10 tied to abuse. Fines add up to $235,995 across three penalties. Staffing sits at 3.58 nurse hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run roughly 13% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is 42.7%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The quality star rating is strong, but inspection history and thin weekend coverage are what families should weigh first.
Villa At Willow Place runs 94 beds in Ypsilanti under for-profit partnership ownership, and its staffing is the number to sit with: 3.46 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dropping roughly another 10% below its own weekday levels. That thin coverage shows up in a 55.7% annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8% national figure, and a 2/5 CMS staffing rating. The inspection record carries 60 deficiencies, five tied to abuse, though none at the harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was February 2026. Its 5/5 quality measure rating stands out, but that's self-reported data, the hands-on care numbers tell a different story.
Optalis Health And Rehabilitation Of Ann Arbor runs 180 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to look at: 3.71 nurse hours per resident day, about 4% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends running roughly 14% below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 50.3% against a national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents change often.
The inspection record is heavier than that staffing gap suggests, 51 deficiencies on the current record, four at harm or jeopardy level and four abuse-related, with one fine totaling $15,593 and a survey as recent as April 2025. Quality measures score well, but the health inspection side is where the trouble concentrates.
