Michigan: CMS Rating Breakdown
Michigan operates 423 CMS-certified nursing homes, according to current federal data. The state's nursing home landscape is dominated by for-profit operators, which account for 326 facilities, while 59 are nonprofit and 38 are government-run. Across the state, facilities have an average Five-Star overall rating of 3.17 out of 5.
The Five-Star rating system serves as a broad indicator of facility performance but carries documented limitations. State-level averages should not be interpreted as definitive assessments of individual facilities or as substitutes for detailed facility-specific evaluation. When making decisions about nursing home care, families and individuals should consult each facility's dedicated Care Compare profile and per-facility pages on the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services website to obtain current, detailed information about staffing, citations, complaints, and other quality metrics specific to the facility under consideration. This information is not medical, financial, or legal advice.
How to read this. The star ratings here are official CMS Five-Star Quality figures, shown as the rating as of May2026 — a relative quality measure with documented limits, not a recommendation, guarantee, or medical/financial/legal advice. Always confirm the current rating and details on the facility’s live Medicare Care Compare profile, and involve the resident and their clinicians in any decision.

Informational only — not medical, financial, or legal advice. Senior Care by State reports official CMS Five-Star Quality data, which is a relative measure with documented limitations — not a recommendation or a guarantee that any facility is right for you. Choosing care is a personal medical and financial decision: confirm the current details with the facility directly, talk with the resident’s physician and care team, and verify ratings and coverage on Medicare.gov or with your state’s long-term-care or health agency before relying on anything here. For medical, financial, or legal questions, consult a qualified professional.
