- While Michigan’s overall nursing home ranking inched higher since the last report card, the unfortunate news for residents is that the state maintained its woeful failing grade.
- Despite scoring passing marks in all staffing measures, this still wasn’t enough to offset Michigan’s failing grades in every enforcement and advocacy category.
- Michigan nursing homes continued their streak of dangerous care, scoring the nation’s second highest percentage of nursing homes with one or more severe deficiencies.
- Fewer than 4 percent of Michigan’s nursing homes had a deficiency-free inspection.
- Michigan’s ombudsmen verified 9 of 10 nursing home complaints, indicating widespread concerns from residents about their lack of quality care.
- Michigan remained anchored near the bottom of the Great Lakes Region in nursing home quality.
