Stratford Pines Nursing And Rehabilitation Center

Midland, MI · Midland County

CMS 2/5100 bedsFor-profitMedicaid
Nurse hours
4.15 /day
Staff turnover
49%
Serious cites
0

Stratford Pines runs on a for-profit limited liability company out of Midland, and the staffing numbers are its strongest card: 4.15 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average, with a four-star staffing rating to match. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops about 8% below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 49.1%, a bit worse than the 45.8% national figure, so the faces change fairly often. The health inspection side is the weak spot, 39 deficiencies on record, two of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, one fine of $16,801, and a two-star inspection rating. No abuse citations, though, and the last inspection was recent, in January 2025.

Huron Woods Nursing Center

Kawkawlin, MI · Bay County

Nurse hours
4.38 /day
Staff turnover
52%

0

Huron Woods runs a 60-bed for-profit home in Kawkawlin, and the staffing numbers are its clearest strength, 4.38 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13% above the national average, which earns a 4-star staffing rating. Weekends dip about 9% below weekdays, so coverage isn't perfectly even. Turnover sits at 51.6% against a national 45.8%, meaning a little over half the nursing staff leaves each year. The current inspection record shows 30 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none abuse-related. The most recent inspection was February 2026. Quality measures land at 3 stars, matching health inspections. Solid hands-on hours, but the churn and deficiency count are the parts worth asking about directly.

North Woods Nursing Center

Farwell, MI · Clare County

CMS 3/571 bedsFor-profitMedicaid
Nurse hours

Staff turnover
59%
Serious cites
0

North Woods Nursing Center runs 71 certified beds in Farwell under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.08 hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average of 3.86. That cushion shrinks on weekends, when coverage drops about 8% below the home's own weekday level, so the weekday numbers you might tour around aren't the whole picture. Annual staff turnover is 58.5%, well above the national 45.8%, which matters more than a single day's headcount because it affects who knows your family member's routine. The current inspection record shows 16 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but two tied to abuse; the last inspection was in April 2026.

Grand Oaks Nursing Center

Baldwin, MI · Lake County

CMS 4/579 bedsFor-profitMedicaid
Nurse hours
4.04 /day
Staff turnover
56%
Serious cites
0

Grand Oaks runs more nursing hours per resident than the typical American home, 4.04 a day against a national average of 3.86, and that's the main reason its staffing rating holds at 4 stars. But the floor gets thinner on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 12% below what the building staffs Monday through Friday. Turnover sits at 56%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so a lot of the hands on the floor are still new to the building. The current inspection record lists 33 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm level and 4 tied to abuse, from a survey completed in March 2025.

West Woods Of Niles

Niles, MI · Berrien County

CMS 1/5121 bedsFor-profitMedicaid
Nurse hours
3.92 /day
Staff turnover
38%
Serious cites
0

West Woods Of Niles runs 121 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing numbers are genuinely solid, 3.92 nurse hours per resident day, just above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping roughly 10% below weekdays. Turnover sits at 38.1%, better than the 45.8% national figure. The problem is everything else. That 1-out-of-5 inspection rating reflects 41 deficiencies on the current record, five of them at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. Two fines totaling $16,800 are on file, and the most recent inspection was February 2026. Good staffing hasn't translated into a clean building, that gap is what families should weigh.

West Woods Of Bridgman

Bridgman, MI · Berrien County

CMS 1/592 bedsFor-profitMedicaid
Nurse hours
3.96 /day
Staff turnover
48%
Serious cites
0

West Woods of Bridgman runs a for-profit operation with 92 certified beds, and its staffing sits close to the middle of the pack, about 3.96 nurse hours per resident day, just above the national average, though weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover is 47.6%, a bit higher than the national figure. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 41 deficiencies on file, four of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and a one-star health inspection rating. The most recent inspection was August 2025, so the findings are current. Quality and staffing measures both land at three stars, which keeps this from being a purely negative picture, but the inspection history weighs heavily.

Lake Woods Nursing & Rehabilitation Center

Muskegon, MI · Muskegon County

CMS 2/590 bedsFor-profitMedicaid
Nurse hours
3.87 /day
Staff turnover
58%
Serious cites
0

Lake Woods runs about 3.87 nurse hours per resident day, which lands essentially at the national average of 3.86, fine on paper, though weekend staffing drops roughly 10% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 43 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level and four abuse-related, with $67,541 in fines across two penalties. Staff turnover sits at 57.7% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. Ownership is for-profit corporate, and the last inspection was May 2025.

Gladwin Pines Nursing And Rehabilitation Center

Gladwin, MI · Gladwin County

CMS 2/584 bedsFor-profitMedicaid
Nurse hours

Staff turnover
46%
Serious cites
0

Gladwin Pines runs a for-profit limited liability operation with 84 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.33 hours per resident day, roughly 12% above the national average, which is why CMS gives it a 4-out-of-5 staffing star. That's a real strength. But the inspection record tells a harder story: 30 deficiencies on the current record, five of them at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. Three CMS fines total $144,208. Staff turnover sits at 45.5%, essentially the national average, and weekend staffing dips about 6% below weekday levels. The last inspection was September 11, 2025, so the record is recent.

West Hickory Haven

Milford, MI · Oakland County

Nurse hours

Staff turnover

West Hickory Haven runs 101 beds in Milford under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.97 hours per resident day, only about 3% above the national average of 3.86. That margin shrinks on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 12% below the home's own weekday level. The bigger concern is staff churn: 67.9% annual turnover against a national average of 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents are relatively new to the building. Inspectors have logged 50 deficiencies, including 8 at the harm or jeopardy level and 7 tied to abuse, with $54,304 in fines across two penalties. The most recent inspection was March 13, 2025.

Abuse icon on record

Maple Woods Manor runs 151 certified beds in Clio under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits right at the national average, 3.88 hours per resident day against 3.86, with weekends about 9% thinner than weekdays. Turnover of 43.5% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, but the inspection record is where the trouble shows: 31 deficiencies, five of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, one tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $58,583. The last inspection was April 2025, so that record is fairly current, not stale. Staffing looks adequate on paper; the survey history suggests the problems lie elsewhere.
