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.
Boulevard Temple Care Center runs 124 certified beds in Detroit under individual for-profit ownership, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.64 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 12% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot at 28.3%, well below the 45.8% national figure, which suggests less churn than most homes. Against that, the current record carries 24 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and four tied to abuse. Inspectors were last on site in May 2025, so the picture is recent.
The Orchards at Samaritan runs 120 certified beds in Detroit under individual for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits about 8% under the national average, thin enough on its own, but weekends drop roughly 13% below what the home staffs on weekdays. That pattern matters in a building with 32 deficiencies on its current record, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse. The last inspection was March 2025, so the record is recent, not stale. Quality measures score well, but quality scores come largely from resident assessments the home reports itself; inspections and staffing are measured independently, and those are where this home struggles.
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.
