All 4 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Flint,
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.
Briarwood is a 117-bed for-profit home in Flint, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.66 hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average, and weekends run about 10% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover at 40.6% is actually better than the national 45.8%, which matters for consistency of care.
The inspection record is the weak spot: 42 deficiencies on file, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none abuse-related. The most recent inspection was April 2025, so the picture is current. Quality measures score well and staffing holds up, but 42 deficiencies is a lot to carry.
Willowbrook Manor runs on better-than-average nurse hours, 4.02 per resident day, roughly 4% above the national figure, and its staff turnover of 38.2% actually beats the 45.8% national rate, which matters because consistent caregivers know the residents. Weekends get thinner, though, running about 14% below weekday coverage. The trouble sits in its inspection record: 46 deficiencies, three serious enough to put residents in harm's way and two tied to abuse, with $89,021 in fines and a two-star health inspection rating. That combination, decent daily staffing, real quality concerns, is why the home lands where it does.
Kith Haven runs 159 beds in Flint under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing is genuinely a bright spot: 3.93 nurse hours per resident day, slightly above the national average, with a 33.3% turnover rate that's well below the 45.8% national figure. Weekends dip about 9% below weekday coverage, so plan visits accordingly. The trouble sits elsewhere. CMS gives the home 1 out of 5 stars on quality measures and 2 out of 5 on health inspections, and the current record carries 48 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, three tied to abuse, plus a $119,506 fine. The most recent inspection was March 2026, so the picture is current. Ask directly what's been fixed since.
Villa At Beecher Place runs 167 certified beds in Flint under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.16 hours per resident day, about 18% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 12% below the home's own weekday coverage, and annual turnover hits 53.7% against a national 45.8%. The inspection record is where the real trouble shows: 99 deficiencies, including 10 at the harm or jeopardy level and 7 tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $210,026. A May 2025 inspection is recent, and the quality measure score is strong, but staffing and compliance numbers tell a harder story.
