SKLD Leonard

1700 Leonard St Ne, Grand Rapids, MI 49505
Overview of Skld Leonard

On Leonard Street NE in Grand Rapids, roughly 3.7 miles from downtown and about a mile and a half from the nearest hospital, Skld Leonard is a 69-bed nursing home offering nursing care, hospice care, and respite stays. The Walk Score is 45. Most errands will need a car, but the location is manageable for families spread across the metro area.

The facility has been open for about 7 years. Sixty of its 69 beds are occupied, an 87% occupancy rate. The average stay runs 98 days, which places most residents somewhere in the middle territory between a short rehab course and a longer nursing arrangement. Total nursing care is 4 hours and 5 minutes per resident per day, with RNs accounting for 33 minutes of that directly.

For a 69-bed facility, the clinical range is wide. Specialty programs cover oncology, memory care, tracheostomy care, IV therapy, pulmonary care, and orthopedic rehabilitation. Therapy services on-site include physical, occupational, speech, respiratory, and neurological disciplines, backed by a therapy gym and adaptive equipment. Hospice and respite care are also part of the mix.

Nutrition-supervised dining is available, and an Active Resident Council gives residents a structured voice in how the facility operates. State inspections have tended to center on infection prevention and control, fall and injury prevention, and care planning and documentation. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted.

For residents whose recovery or care needs cut across multiple clinical areas, Skld Leonard offers a concentrated set of specialty tracks in a mid-sized Grand Rapids nursing home.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Grand Rapids, MI

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 nursing home care?

Yes — Michigan Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.

What is nursing home care?

Nursing homes (also called skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses, rehabilitation services, and long-term custodial care for residents with significant health or functional needs.

How many nursing homes are listed on this page?

This page features 13 nursing homes in Grand Rapids, MI. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right nursing home in Grand Rapids, MI?

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 Grand Rapids, MI, 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 nursing homes in Grand Rapids, MI?

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.
