Open the list →Why does every listing come from state and federal records?
Because ratings invented by a referral site are worth nothing. We publish only what Michigan LARA and CMS publish -- license, capacity, status, inspection and investigation history, and Care Compare stars -- and link to the original record.
We do not copy marketing claims, prices or amenities from facility websites, and we do not rank homes by who pays us. Profile pages exist for the 392 homes whose public record is detailed enough to say something useful; every other licensed home still appears as a row in the lists, with its license data.
How current is this data?
The LARA file and report index were read on October 30, 2026; LARA updates its statewide file daily. The CMS nursing home file is dated October 1, 2026.
Licenses change. Before you sign anything, open the home's LARA profile from our page and confirm the license is still active and the newest report is the one you read.
How are licensed homes spread across the five counties?
Kent County holds most of the region's licensed capacity: 199 of the 343 LARA-licensed homes and 27 of the 49 nursing homes.
