All 23 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Detroit,
side by side on the things that separate them: how many nursing hours each resident gets, how much of the
staff leaves each year, and what inspectors found on their last visit.
Regency At Chene runs 160 beds in Detroit under individual for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits just above the national average, 3.94 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86, though weekends drop about 10% below its own weekday levels. Turnover is 30.8%, notably better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests workers tend to stick around. The concerning part is the inspection record: 49 deficiencies, three of them at harm or jeopardy level, plus one fine of $15,593, with the last inspection in May 2025. Quality measures score well, but that health inspection rating of 2 out of 5 is where the real story lives.
The numbers here are better than the staffing figure alone suggests. Nurse coverage sits about 4% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 11% thinner than weekdays, a gap worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. Turnover, though, is 43.2%, slightly better than the 45.8% national rate, meaning the aides and nurses you meet are a bit more likely to still be there next year than elsewhere.
The inspection record is the real story: 39 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and four tied to abuse. That's a meaningful count, and it's recent, the last inspection was January 2026. The four- and five-star inspection and quality ratings don't erase those findings. Ask specifically what changed since that inspection.
Hartford Nursing & Rehabilitation Center runs 188 certified beds on Detroit's west side, and the staffing picture is mixed. Nurses provide about 4.04 hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average, though weekends run about 12% thinner than weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits Saturday or Sunday. Annual turnover sits at 42.5%, a little better than the 45.8% national figure. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 30 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and a two-out-of-five health inspection rating. That's the number to press the administrator on. The quality measure rating of five suggests clinical outcomes look good on paper, but paper and daily care aren't always the same thing.
Mission Point runs 129 certified beds in Detroit under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.50 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 21% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the quietest shifts are also the thinnest. Turnover lands at 41.3%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, but the inspection record carries 30 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with the last survey in March 2025. The 5/5 quality measure rating stands out against a 2/5 inspection rating, which tells you the clinical metrics and the survey history are measuring different things.
Oakpointe runs on thinner nurse coverage than most homes, 3.00 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 14% below its own weekday levels, so the gaps tend to show up when families visit. What offsets that is stability: turnover of 30.3% sits well under the 45.8% national figure, and its last inspection in June 2025 produced 14 deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level and none tied to abuse. State surveyors rate the home's inspection record and quality measures at the top of the scale even as staffing lands in the middle. For-profit, limited liability ownership, 106 beds.
Qualicare runs 3.24 nursing hours per resident day, about 16 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 12 percent below its own weekday numbers, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 32.6 percent, well under the 45.8 percent national figure, which matters for consistency of care. Against that, the current record shows 17 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related. The last inspection was February 2026, so the picture is recent. A corporation owns the 96-bed home.
Fairlane runs on leaner nursing hours than most homes, 3.56 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends get thinner still, dropping about 11% below what the building staffs Monday through Friday. The trade-off shows up elsewhere: staff turnover sits at 40.8%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests people stick around longer here than at the typical for-profit Detroit home. Fifteen deficiencies on the current record sounds like a lot until you see none reached harm or jeopardy level, and none involved abuse. The last full inspection was in September 2025, so the picture is current. What you're looking at is a corporate-owned building that's recently been surveyed, keeps its problems minor, and retains workers slightly better than average, but runs short-staffed, especially on weekends. Ask about weekend coverage specifically.
Mission Point on Detroit's east side runs 59 beds under individual for-profit ownership, and its inspection record is the strongest part of the story: a recent January 2026 survey, 21 total deficiencies with none rising to actual harm or jeopardy. The two abuse-related citations are worth asking about directly, since that category covers a range of incidents and the paperwork won't tell you which. Nurse staffing sits at 3.66 hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average, and weekends run about 9% thinner than weekdays, a gap families feel on Saturday afternoons. Turnover at 44.8% is basically the national rate, neither a red flag nor a selling point.
Mission Point runs a 120-bed for-profit home in Detroit, and its staffing story cuts both ways. Nurses provide 3.52 hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average, and weekends drop about 21% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays, so care thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 30.6%, well better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency.
The inspection record is the harder read: 39 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, plus a $43,924 fine and a recent August 2025 inspection. Quality measures score near the bottom. Ask about weekend coverage and how the home corrected those abuse-related findings before deciding.
Hamilton Nursing Home runs on leaner staffing than most places, about 3.02 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 10% below what the building manages on weekdays. Annual turnover sits at 51.7%, above the 45.8% national figure, which means the aides and nurses your family member sees may change often. The good news is real: a recent inspection in September 2025, 18 deficiencies on record but none at the harm level and none abuse-related, plus strong marks on quality measures. For-profit, individually owned, 64 beds. The care outcomes look solid; the question is whether thin weekend coverage works for your situation.
West Oaks passed its most recent inspection in June 2025 with a clean health inspection record, five out of five stars, 15 deficiencies on file and none at the harm or jeopardy level. That matters, and it's the strongest thing going for this place. The staffing picture is less reassuring. At 3.70 nurse hours per resident day, it runs slightly under the national average, weekends drop about 8% below its own weekday numbers, and 55.3% annual turnover means the aides and nurses your family member sees are changing often. One abuse-related deficiency also appears on the record. A for-profit limited liability company operates its 102 beds. Good oversight, thin and shifting coverage.
Regency Heights runs 168 beds on Detroit's west side, owned by an individual for-profit operator. Daily nursing hours land at 3.76 per resident, just under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 14% leaner than weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 35.1%, notably better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests some stability in the workforce. The trouble is the inspection record: 29 deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, two tied to abuse, plus a $19,321 fine. The most recent inspection was May 30, 2025, so that record is current, not stale. Ask about those abuse citations specifically before deciding.
Omni Continuing Care runs 136 beds in Detroit under corporate ownership, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.74 hours per resident day, a bit under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 15% below the home's own weekday coverage, worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. What stands out is staff retention: turnover of 18.7% is well under half the national rate of 45.8%, which usually means consistent caregivers who know the residents. The inspection record backs that up, 12 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, no abuse citations, and a survey as recent as July 2025.
The Villa At Great Lakes Crossing runs 96 beds as a for-profit, individually owned home, and its staffing is the weak spot: 3.44 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11 percent under the national average, with weekends running about 15 percent thinner than weekdays. Annual turnover sits at 50 percent, above the 45.8 percent national figure, so the people providing that care keep changing. The current record shows 26 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, though the most recent inspection was in February 2026. On the plus side, the quality measure rating is strong and the health inspection score is decent, it's the day-to-day staffing consistency that pulls this one down.
Riverview runs 203 beds in Detroit under limited-liability, for-profit ownership, and its recent inspection history is mostly clean, 19 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. A 4-out-of-5 inspection rating and an April 2025 visit mean the state's picture of the place is fairly current, and staffing sits well above average at 5.26 nurse hours per resident day, with weekend coverage dipping about 13% below weekdays. Where the numbers get harder to read is quality: 1 out of 5 stars on CMS quality measures, against 3 for staffing. Turnover at 42.5% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, but at that rate, aides still cycle through regularly enough that families should ask who's actually on the floor.
Westwood Nursing Center runs lighter on nursing hours than most homes, 3.44 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends are thinner still, about 18% below what the building staffs Monday through Friday. That matters for a 108-bed for-profit home, because care doesn't pause on Saturdays. Turnover sits at 49%, a few points above the national rate, and the record shows 25 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $22,936. No deficiency rose to the harm level, and the last inspection was recent, in December 2025. The quality measure score of 2 out of 5 is the weakest mark in the file.
The Orchards At Northwest runs 154 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.62 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 12% thinner than its own weekdays. The inspection record is where the real weight sits: 43 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to put residents at risk of harm, plus three abuse-related findings and a $15,889 fine. Its last inspection was March 2026, so the record is current, not stale. Quality measures score well, but that's a narrow slice of the picture. A single star on both inspections and staffing tells you more about daily life here than the quality score does.
Riverview Health and Rehab Center North runs 180 beds under corporate ownership, and the staffing picture is thinner than it looks. Total nurse coverage sits at 3.76 hours per resident day, under the national average, and it drops further on weekends, roughly 13% below the home's own weekday level. That matters when you consider turnover: 59.4% of staff left over the past year, against a national rate near 46%. Inspectors have logged 40 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and three tied to abuse, plus $38,471 in fines across four penalties. The most recent inspection was April 2025. High turnover and thin weekend coverage together are the kind of thing families notice on a Sunday visit.
Heritage Manor runs 122 beds in Detroit under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.55 hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average, with weekends dropping about 14% below its own weekday levels. Annual turnover of 53.6% means more than half the nursing staff leaves each year, well above the 45.8% national figure. The current inspection record carries 44 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and eight tied to abuse. A recent inspection date helps, and resident quality measures score well, but the inspection history and thin weekend coverage are what a family should weigh when deciding.
Sheffield Manor runs 106 beds in Detroit under corporate for-profit ownership, and its inspection record is the harder story here: 17 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse. That's a lot to carry for a building this size, and it's the main reason the health inspection rating sits low. Staffing lands at 3.47 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 10% lighter than weekdays. Turnover is 38.9%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure. The quality measure score is high, but those measures lean on self-reported data. Ask about the abuse citations directly before touring.
