Every Medicare-certified nursing home in Michigan, graded on inspections, staffing, turnover
and enforcement history.
12 homes in the state sit in the federal Special Focus programme.
Jackson County Medical Care Facility runs a county-owned home of 194 beds where the bedside math is genuinely strong: 5.37 nurse hours per resident day, about 39% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping roughly 9% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 23.5%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters for residents who want to see the same faces. The trouble is inspection history, 20 deficiencies on the current record, two at harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a single $68,744 fine, with the last inspection dated April 2026. Strong hands-on care and a troubled survey record can coexist, and here they do.
Meadow Brook Medical Care Facility is county-owned, with 133 certified beds in Bellaire. Three out of four caregivers left their jobs last year, 75.7% turnover against a national average of 45.8%, and CMS gives the home its lowest staffing rating, one star out of five. That instability shows up in the inspection record too: nine deficiencies currently on file, including two serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy and two tied to abuse. Health inspection and quality measure ratings each sit at two stars. State surveyors were last in the building in September 2025, so the picture is recent. For a family weighing this home, the turnover number and the abuse-related findings are the two things worth asking about directly before a tour.
Bay County Medical Care Facility runs on 6.39 total nurse hours per resident day, roughly two and a half hours more than the national average, and that staffing shows in a four-star CMS staffing rating. Weekends dip about 16 percent below weekday coverage, though, and annual turnover sits at 53.9 percent, higher than the 45.8 percent national figure, so the people delivering those hours keep changing. The county-owned home holds 31 deficiencies on its current record, seven at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with $165,536 in fines and a two-star inspection rating from its April 2025 survey. Strong hands-on coverage, uneven consistency, and a recent inspection record that's the real concern here.
Grandvue runs a county-owned home in East Jordan with 113 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are its clearest strength, 4.39 total nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14% above the national average. Weekend coverage dips about 6% below its own weekday level, though staff turnover at 42.7% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure.
The trouble sits on the inspection side. The current record shows 17 deficiencies, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. That combination, strong daily staffing beside serious cited problems, is why the two-star health inspection rating pulls the overall picture down despite the five-star staffing mark.
Grand Traverse Pavilions is county-owned and large, 240 beds, and its inspection record is the first thing to know. Sixty-five deficiencies on the current record, seven of them serious enough to involve actual harm or jeopardy, plus eight tied to abuse. Three fines totaling about $158,000. The last inspection was June 2025, so this isn't stale paperwork.
Staffing is the other problem. CMS rates it at the bottom of the scale, meaning residents here get fewer direct care hours than most homes nationally. The quality measure score looks better, but that number reflects clinical outcomes like rehospitalization rates, not whether someone answers the call light.
For a family weighing this placement, ask about direct-care hours per resident per day and how the last inspection's abuse findings were resolved.
Optalis Health & Rehabilitation at Kent-Crossing runs 182 certified beds on Grand Rapids' southeast side, and the numbers tell two different stories. Nurse staffing sits at 3.75 hours per resident day, just under the national average, but weekends drop about 9% below the home's own weekday level, and turnover runs 56.1% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves within a year. Then there's the inspection record: 69 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 9 abuse-related, with ownership changing hands in the past year. That combination of high turnover and recent turnover in ownership is worth asking about directly when you visit.
Hillsdale County Medical Care Facility runs on county government ownership and 170 certified beds, and its staffing is genuinely heavy, 5.38 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 13% below weekday levels, and turnover sits at 34%, better than the 45.8% national figure. The trouble is the inspection record: 25 deficiencies, including 5 at harm or jeopardy level and 8 tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $314,537. The most recent inspection was February 26, 2026. Strong staffing and quality scores don't cancel out that many serious findings, read the actual inspection reports before deciding.
Harmony Village of Clawson runs a 120-bed for-profit operation where the staffing numbers look decent on paper, 4.23 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average, but that average hides a 57% annual turnover rate, well past the national 45.8%, and weekends run about 15% thinner than weekdays. The inspection record is where things fall apart: 114 deficiencies on the current record, 11 of them at harm or jeopardy level and 29 abuse-related, plus two fines totaling $193,106. CMS has placed the home in its Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for the most persistently troubled nursing homes in the country. The most recent inspection was March 20, 2025.
Lenawee Medical Care Facility has the staffing most families are looking for, 5.33 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 38% above the national average, and that holds up even with weekends running about 13% thinner than weekdays. The county runs it, so there's no corporate owner to answer to. What pulls the grade down is the inspection record: 24 deficiencies, including 5 at the harm level and 9 tied to abuse, plus a 2-star health inspection rating. Staff turnover sits at 50.5%, a bit above the national 45.8%, so the people delivering that generous staffing keep changing. Strong care hours, a troubling paper trail, worth a visit and hard questions before deciding.
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.
Calhoun County Medical Care Facility is county-owned, with 120 beds in Battle Creek. Its 4.26 nurse hours per resident day sit about 10% above the national average of 3.86, and turnover at 41.8% is a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, but weekend staffing drops roughly 10% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. The current inspection record carries 12 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related. With an April 2026 inspection and a 2/5 health inspection rating alongside a 3/5 quality measure rating, the recent survey history is the part worth asking about directly.
Christian Park Health Care Center runs 99 certified beds in Escanaba under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth knowing. Nurse coverage sits at 3.38 hours per resident day, about 12% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 8% below the home's own weekday level, so the thinnest shifts come when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 54.5% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing team turns over in a year. The current record carries 20 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with one fine of $36,651. The last inspection was January 23, 2025. Ask about weekend coverage and how they've addressed those harm-level findings.
Brittany Manor runs 138 beds in Midland under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing is the genuine bright spot: 4.06 nurse hours per resident day, about 5% above the national average, with a five-star CMS staffing rating. Turnover sits at 45.9%, essentially identical to the national 45.8%, no better, no worse. Weekend coverage dips roughly 11% below weekday levels, so care thins out when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the problem. Twenty-two deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level, two abuse-related, and a two-star health inspection rating, with the last inspection in March 2025. Strong staffing is doing a lot of work holding up a record that otherwise looks shaky.
Ely Manor runs 3.35 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13% under the national average, and weekends drop another 7% below its own weekday staffing. The 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating reflects a record of 67 deficiencies, including six at the harm or jeopardy level and eight tied to abuse, plus $174,559 in fines across six penalties. That combination has placed the home in CMS's Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the country's most persistently troubled nursing homes. Staff turnover sits at 49.4%, above the national figure, so even the direct-care hours that exist are often delivered by people who haven't been there long.
Clearstream Rehabilitation and Nursing Center runs 98 beds in Hastings under individual for-profit ownership, and its inspection record is the part that should worry you: 47 deficiencies on the current record, including 4 at the harm or jeopardy level and 10 tied to abuse. Federal inspectors were last in the building on May 5, 2026, and the health inspection rating came back 1 out of 5. Staffing sits at 3.35 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13 percent under the national average, and weekends run about 12 percent thinner than weekdays. Annual turnover is 53.8 percent, well above the 45.8 percent national figure, meaning the people caring for residents keep changing. Two fines totaling $35,416 are on file. The quality measure rating, 4 out of 5, reflects chart-based numbers, not the day-to-day supervision those other figures describe.
Medilodge of Southfield holds 182 certified beds and runs on a for-profit corporate model, and the inspection record is where the trouble sits. CMS has flagged it as a Special Focus Facility, a designation reserved for homes with a pattern of persistent problems, and the current record shows 98 deficiencies, including 7 at the harm or jeopardy level and 16 tied to abuse. Four fines total $330,727. Staffing looks better on paper at 4.23 nurse hours per resident day, about 10% above the national average, but weekend coverage drops roughly 18% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover hits 53% against a 45.8% national average. The most recent inspection was August 2025.
The Laurels of Sandy Creek runs on 3.06 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips about 5% below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 46.5%, slightly above the national 45.8%. The inspection record is the heavier issue: 34 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 7 tied to abuse, with one $14,020 fine and a most recent inspection on May 21, 2025. The 5/5 quality measure score reflects charted care indicators, but it sits alongside a 2/5 inspection rating. This is an individually owned, for-profit home where the paperwork scores well and the on-the-ground record is rougher.
Westland's 230-bed home is owned by a for-profit limited liability company and carries 63 deficiencies on its current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse. Its last inspection was in March 2025, and CMS gives the place one star for health inspections. Nurse staffing sits at 3.53 hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average, and weekends run about 10% thinner than weekdays, so the coverage gap tends to land when families visit. Annual turnover is 46.2%, essentially the national rate. The four-star quality measure score is the bright spot, but inspections and staffing are where the problems live.
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.
Mission Point in Belding runs 128 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.65 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 13% below the home's own weekday coverage, which matters if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover is genuinely better than most: 35.3% against a national 45.8%, so aides and nurses tend to stick around longer here than at the typical home.
The harder question is the inspection record. Forty deficiencies are on file, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and seven tied to abuse. CMS gave the home 2 out of 5 stars on health inspections, though its quality measure and staffing ratings both came back at 5. The most recent inspection was June 1, 2026. Read those deficiencies yourself before deciding.
