Overview of The Willows at Howell

The Willows at Howell is a 39-bed skilled nursing facility that provides short-term rehabilitation, memory care, independent living, and assisted living services. Located in a walkable urban neighborhood, the property handles brief post-acute recovery stays, resulting in a 46-day average length of stay. Admissions primarily focus on a mix of Medicare (46%) and private-pay (43%) clients. Business records indicate strong financial health, with the operation posting a $1.4 million profit and a 9.8% margin while routing 52.7% of its revenue into payroll to support on-site amenities like a courtyard, library, resident garden, and private dining rooms.

Public health tracking logs confirm an exceptional regulatory history paired with top-tier clinical outcomes despite a low local occupancy rate of 26%. Direct nursing care averages 3 hours and 44 minutes per resident daily, highlighted by weekend registered nurse coverage that runs 152% ahead of the Michigan state average, alongside physical therapy volumes that track 125% above the state baseline.

On the compliance side, the property has compiled just three total deficiencies since 2015, which sits 85% better than the state average, and carries zero history of federal financial penalties. Its most recent standard inspection in April 2024 flagged three minor, subsequently resolved documentation gaps regarding hospice roles and medication service plans. Clinical charts demonstrate high performance across both long-term and short-term metrics, documenting a zero percent rate for permanent resident pressure ulcers and a short-term community discharge success rate that beats the state norm by 36%.

Prospective representatives looking into premium post-acute physical rehabilitation or short-term recovery placements can analyze these public health profiles to evaluate the home’s baseline. Since the official tracking records low physical utilization alongside heavy weekend nurse staffing, high rehabilitation discharge numbers, and a near-flawless decade-long inspection track record, the documentation describes a highly capable and organized clinical environment.

Overview of The Oaks at Belmont

The Oaks at Belmont is a 41-bed facility that provides short-term rehabilitation, memory care, independent living, and assisted living services. Operating with a focus on quick post-acute recovery, the property logs a brief 30-day average length of stay. Admissions lean heavily toward private-pay individuals, who account for 71% of the resident population. Business summaries track an improving commercial trajectory, with local occupancy jumping up to 71% to help correct a $610.9 thousand historical operating loss while routing 55.2% of general revenue straight into personnel payroll.

A look at state healthcare databases shows top-tier personnel depth paired with a spotless inspection history. Direct nursing hours average 3 hours and 32 minutes per resident daily, backed by a staff-to-resident ratio that beats the state average by 24% and registered nurse coverage running 54% ahead of standard benchmarks.

This clinical focus matches excellent short-term health charts, which document zero cases of major injury falls and a community discharge success rate 39% higher than the state baseline. Permanent resident profiles show similarly high marks, reporting zero prescriptions for antipsychotic medications and zero cases of pressure ulcers. On the regulatory side, the building holds a perfect multi-year record, clearing its standard state licensing and renewal inspections through 2024 with zero deficiencies and zero federal financial fines.

Prospective residents seeking a resource-heavy rehabilitation stay or a multi-level retirement campus can review these public health filings to analyze the provider’s track record. Since the official logs verify expanding occupancy, exceptional front-line nursing hours, and strong post-acute recovery scores alongside a completely flawless multi-year inspection profile, the data highlights a highly reliable care environment.

Overview of The Oaks at Woodfield

The Oaks at Woodfield is a 38-bed skilled nursing facility that operates as part of a campus providing assisted living, memory care, and short-term rehabilitation. The property primarily caters to brief, post-acute recovery needs, resulting in a 38-day average length of stay. Admissions focus heavily on a payer mix of private pay (56%) and Medicare (40%). Daily operations are financially structured to assign 49.1% of overall revenue to payroll, which supports on-site features like a courtyard, pet-friendly living areas, a salon, and a resident garden in a walkable neighborhood layout.

State files reveal a solid compliance background alongside strong weekend nurse coverage, though day-to-day physical safety metrics show some mixed numbers. Direct nursing care averages 3 hours and 56 minutes per resident daily, highlighted by weekend registered nurse hours that beat Michigan averages by 79%. On the licensing side, the facility tracks well ahead of the state standard with a low long-term average of 0.5 citations per year, carrying zero federal fines or financial penalties over the past three years. Its standard September 2024 licensing review came back with zero deficiencies, while a June 2024 complaint check turned up one minor documentation note to update a resident care plan.

Clinical tracking shows zero percent rates for depression and solid scores for keeping long-term residents mobile, though unexpected weight loss and serious falls track above state averages. Conversely, short-stay charts reflect high-performing physical recovery, with 66.8% of rehab residents successfully returning straight home to the community.

Representatives researching local post-acute physical therapy or multi-level senior care options can use these state summaries to evaluate the building’s operations. Because the public records verify excellent short-term discharge success scores and a minimal citation history alongside heavy weekend nurse coverage and some long-stay physical safety risks, the data outline a stable rehabilitation setting.

Overview of The Oaks at Byron Center

The Oaks at Byron Center is a 41-bed skilled nursing facility that operates alongside independent living, assisted living, and memory care services. The building functions with a clear emphasis on short-term recovery, generating an average length of stay of 48 days. Admissions lean heavily toward private-pay individuals, who account for 72% of the resident census, while local utilization stands at a 51% occupancy rate. Business logs highlight a steady financial turnaround, with the operation posting a $410.5 thousand profit and a 3.1% margin while channeling 52.2% of its revenue into payroll to support on-site spaces like a movie theater, fitness center, and private dining rooms.

Files from state health departments show excellent clinical outcome metrics and a low historical citation count. Registered nurse care averages 1 hour and 1 minute per resident daily, running 33% ahead of the Michigan baseline, while total combined nursing hours settle at 3 hours and 41 minutes. This clinical focus aligns with strong short-term recovery tracking, noting zero reported major injury falls and a community discharge success rate that beats the state norm by 53%. Permanent resident charts reveal similarly high marks, documenting zero cases of urinary tract infections alongside above-average scores for physical mobility preservation.

On the regulatory side, the property compiled seven total deficiencies since 2020, tracking 65% better than the state average, with zero federal financial penalties on record. Its most recent inspection in May 2025 flagged six minor administrative and physical plant issues involving food labeling, dishwasher logs, linen storage, unlocked chemical cabinets, and employee tuberculosis screening paperwork.

Interested individuals researching regional post-acute physical therapy or multi-level senior living options can consult these public health registries to verify the facility’s baseline. Since the state paperwork documents open building capacity, heavy daily registered nurse oversight, and top-tier physical rehabilitation metrics alongside a low historical citation count, the data points to a highly organized recovery environment.

Overview of Allegria Village

Allegria Village is a 55+ community in Dearborn, Michigan, for residents age 55 and older, offering independent living, assisted living, memory care, nursing home care and skilled nursing. Independent living combines private housing with community services but no daily care, while assisted living provides help with dressing, bathing and medication in the resident’s own apartment. Memory care offers a secured, supervised setting for someone at risk of wandering, and nursing home and skilled nursing services provide licensed nursing care on site around the clock. This range may be a good fit for someone whose support needs may increase, since residents can move between care levels without leaving the community or starting over socially.

Payment options include Medicare, Medicaid and private pay. Medicare can cover eligible short-term skilled care after a hospital stay rather than long-term residence, while Medicaid can help an eligible resident whose savings may not cover a long stay; private pay uses the resident’s or family’s own funds. Staffing is available 24 hours a day, including overnight, and total nurse staffing is 4 hours 16 minutes per resident daily, with 1 hour 32 minutes provided by licensed RNs and LPNs. Those figures represent daily hands-on nursing time and the share delivered by licensed nurses, while a doctor on staff gives residents access to physician services within the community.

Housing choices include studios and apartments with one or two bedrooms. A studio gives one resident a single private space, a one-bedroom separates the sleeping and living areas, and a two-bedroom can suit a couple moving together. Rehabilitation services support recovery after an illness or injury, with short-term rehabilitation available for a time-limited recovery stay. Respite care provides a temporary place to stay when a usual caregiver is traveling or recovering.

Allegria Village has 132 beds and was at 53% occupancy when that percentage was calculated, meaning the community was not full at that time. Families will still want to ask whether space is currently available at the particular care level they need. Its Walk Score is 52 out of 100, so the area is somewhat walkable and some errands can be completed on foot, giving a resident who no longer drives some ability to reach everyday destinations independently. HFV Opco, LLC operates the community.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Michigan

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Michigan?

Assisted living in Michigan supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Michigan?

Assisted living in Michigan is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Michigan Medicaid cover assisted living?

Michigan Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Michigan) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 436 assisted living facilities in Michigan. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Michigan?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Michigan, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Michigan?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
