Overview of Clark Retirement at Franklin

The breadth of care types at Clark Retirement at Franklin is the first thing worth sitting with. This is a continuing care retirement community on Franklin Street in Grand Rapids’ Eastown neighborhood, and it holds nursing home, assisted living, independent living, memory care, and skilled nursing under one roof across 107 beds in a 3-story building. Residents who enter at one level of need can remain as that need changes. The average stay is 424 days, and Corewell Health Blodgett Hospital is 0.43 miles away.

Thirty-six of those 107 beds are currently occupied. Staffing runs 24 hours a day. Total nursing time is 3 hours and 28 minutes per resident per day: registered nurses at 26 minutes, LPNs at 26 minutes, nurse aides at 2 hours and 4 minutes. Rehabilitation services and respite care are offered on-site, and primary care is available without leaving the building.

The amenities here are genuinely atypical for a nursing-level community. A swimming pool and spa, art gallery, resident art studio, woodworking shop, and greenhouse sit alongside the more standard offerings of a wellness center, salon and barbershop, library, and chapel. Multiple dining venues serve chef-prepared meals. Outdoor space includes a rose garden, walking paths, and pet-friendly grounds.

An active resident council meets regularly. Rachel Romero is the Executive Director; Clark Retirement Community Inc. operates the facility. The facility accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. State inspections have historically focused on themes of care planning and documentation.

For families evaluating a community where a single move can accommodate a wide arc of care needs, the multi-level structure here is the defining feature. The amenity depth is an added argument for the long-stay resident the 424-day average describes.

5 of 6 metrics below state avg

Standout metric LPN / LVN is +13% above state avg

Staff type	Hours / Day / Resident	vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.	26m per day	▼ 43% State avg: 46m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.	1h 0m per day	▲ 13% State avg: 53m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.	2h 4m per day	▼ 11% State avg: 2h 20m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.	3h 21m per day	▼ 5% State avg: 3h 31m per day · National avg: 3h 27m per day
Physical Therapist Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.	3m per day	▼ 32% State avg: 4m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.	20m per day	▼ 32% State avg: 29m per day · National avg: 29m per day
