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.

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

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?

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.
