All 4 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Lansing,
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.
Medilodge Of Lansing runs 85 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing lands at 3.86 hours per resident day, essentially identical to the national average, not above it. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops roughly 19% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Annual turnover sits at 48.6%, a bit worse than the 45.8% national figure, so familiar faces may be hard to count on. The current record carries 33 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level but three tied to abuse. Inspectors last visited in December 2025, and the 3/5 health inspection rating reflects that mixed record against stronger marks for quality measures and staffing.
Regency At Lansing West sits in Eaton County with 120 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership. Its nurse staffing runs 3.74 hours per resident day, a bit under the 3.86 national average, and weekends dip roughly 11% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so the coverage your family member gets on a Saturday looks lighter than a Tuesday. Turnover lands at 44.3%, essentially matching the national 45.8%, which means it isn't bleeding caregivers faster than most places.
The current inspection record shows 23 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse. Its last full inspection came in August 2025. Federal ratings put inspections, quality measures, and staffing all at four out of five stars, so the routine survey picture is solid even with those serious citations on file.
Aria Nursing and Rehabilitation runs 110 certified beds in Lansing, and the staffing numbers are thinner than they look at first glance. Total nurse staffing sits at 3.63 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 17% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the days families visit most are the days with the least staff on hand. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 63 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level, seven tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $75,834, with the most recent inspection in May 2025. Corporate ownership and a one-star health inspection rating round out a picture where the quality measure score doesn't tell the whole story.
Medilodge of Capital Area runs 120 beds in Lansing under corporate ownership, and its last inspection was recent enough that the record should reflect current conditions. What that record shows is a long list: 51 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and seven tied to abuse. Staffing sits at 3.82 nurse hours per resident day, just under the national figure, and weekends drop roughly 14% below the home's own weekday coverage. Annual turnover of 58.1% is well above the 45.8% national average, which matters more than the staffing star suggests, consistent caregivers know residents. One fine totaling $22,710 is on file.
