CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the federal agency that regulates nursing homes) Overall 5-star rating — a composite of Health Inspection, Staffing, and Quality Measures scores. 5 stars = top 10% nationally. 1 star = bottom 10%. The single most important number to start with when comparing facilities.
Care Types in This Table NH (Nursing Home): 24/7 skilled nursing care for residents with complex, ongoing medical needs. SNF (Skilled Nursing Facility): Round-the-clock nursing care, often for recovery after surgery, injury, or illness.
Neighborhood or city area where the facility is located. Proximity to family, hospitals, and green space matters for both quality of life and ease of visitation. Consider drive time and transit access when evaluating location.
Licensed bed capacity. Larger facilities (300+ beds) often have more specialized programs but can feel institutional. Smaller homes (under 150 beds) tend to deliver more personalized care. Compare with Avg Res/Day to understand how full the facility typically runs.
Percentage of licensed beds filled on an average day. Color indicates financial health: green (90%+) = operationally strong, typically profitable. Amber (80–89%) = stable but leaving revenue on the table. Orange (70–79%) = financial strain likely, may struggle with fixed costs. Red (<70%) = significant distress, closure or ownership change risk increases sharply.
This facility's occupancy rate compared to the statewide average for similar facilities. A positive number means above-average demand. Facilities running 5%+ above the state average are typically the most sought-after in their market — a strong proxy for reputation.
CMS-adjusted total nurse hours per resident per day (RN + LPN + CNA combined). The national average is approximately 3.5 hrs. Higher is better — more direct care time per resident. Below 3.0 is a red flag. CMS weights RN hours more heavily because RNs handle complex clinical decisions that CNAs cannot.
A 0–100 score of a facility's regulatory inspection record, shown as a letter and compared with other facilities of the same kind in the same state. This is a proprietary Assisted Living Magazine score. It is not a government rating. A dash means we do not publish a grade for that facility: either its public record is too thin to be fair, or we hold nothing for it at all.
CMS Health Inspection star rating (1–5 stars), based on the 3 most recent annual state surveys plus any complaint investigations. This is the hardest rating to manipulate — it reflects real surveyor findings on-site. 5 stars = fewest deficiencies found. 1 star = most. It carries the heaviest weight in the Overall CMS rating.
CMS Staffing star rating (1–5 stars), based on daily nurse staffing hours submitted to CMS via verified payroll data. Compares RN, LPN, and CNA coverage relative to resident acuity level. 5 stars = well above expected staffing. Weekend staffing is evaluated separately, as that's where many facilities quietly reduce coverage.
CMS Quality Measures star rating (1–5 stars), based on 15 clinical outcome metrics including fall rates, pressure ulcers, antipsychotic drug use, and hospital readmissions. Captures actual resident health outcomes, not just compliance. High QM combined with low Health Inspection scores can indicate a facility with strong care but weak documentation practices.
Registered Nurse hours per resident/day compared to the statewide average. RNs are the highest-skilled nursing staff — they assess residents, manage medications, and respond to emergencies. A value of +50% means RN coverage is 50% above the state norm. Negative values are a concern for residents with complex or acute medical needs.
Total nursing staff hours (RN + LPN + CNA combined) per resident/day vs. the statewide average. A broader measure than RN vs State — it captures the entire care team. A facility can have high total staffing but low RN hours, meaning more aides and fewer nurses. Read both columns together for the full picture.
Total dollar amount of federal monetary fines (civil money penalties) issued by CMS in the past 3 years. Fines are only levied for serious violations — typically actual harm to residents, repeated uncorrected deficiencies, or systemic non-compliance. Even a single fine is noteworthy. Multiple fines strongly suggest a pattern, not isolated incidents.
Total health deficiency citations from the most recent standard inspection cycle. Minor citations (scope A–C) are common and often administrative in nature. Higher counts aren't always disqualifying, but should be read alongside Severe Citations to understand actual harm levels. Under 10 is strong for a large facility; 30+ warrants a closer look.
Average deficiency citations per CMS inspection (survey) in the reporting window — total citations divided by the number of inspections. Lower is better; compare alongside total Citations and Severe Citations for context.
Citations at CMS scope/severity level G or higher — G–I means actual harm occurred; J–L means residents were placed in immediate jeopardy. (D–F is potential for harm only). Examples include unaddressed falls, medication errors causing injury, neglect, or abuse.
Average number of residents in the building on any given day, derived from annual census data. Reflects true operating scale — a 400-bed facility running 200 residents/day operates very differently from one at 390. Higher resident counts generally mean more funded staffing hours.
Better Business Bureau rating (A+ to F). Reflects complaint history, business transparency, and how family disputes were resolved. A+ means no significant unresolved complaints. A blank (—) means the facility isn't BBB-accredited, which is common for healthcare providers and not necessarily a negative signal.
Walk Score® (0–100). Measures walkability of the surrounding area. 90–100 = Walker's Paradise. 70–89 = Very Walkable. 50–69 = Somewhat Walkable. Below 50 = Car-Dependent. Higher scores benefit family visitors, resident outings, and staff commuting.
The licensed owner or operator of record filed with CMS — the individual or organization legally accountable for the facility. Searching the operator name across other facilities can reveal chain or multi-site ownership, which matters: chain-operated homes tend to have more variable quality outcomes than independently run facilities.
What the home actually collects for resident care, after contractual allowances, bad debt and discounts — not gross billings. Taken from the latest complete annual cost report, so it is comparable across homes reporting the same period. Revenue alone doesn't indicate care quality, but it funds staffing and capital reinvestment. Pair with Payroll %. Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.
Staff salaries plus wage-related benefits from the latest complete annual cost report. Contract and agency labour is counted separately, under other operating costs, so a home leaning on agency staff can show a low figure here. Payroll is the cost most directly tied to care quality — compare with Payroll % for full context. Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.
Payroll as a share of NET PATIENT REVENUE (not gross revenue). Both figures come from the same cost-report year. A higher figure means more of each revenue dollar goes to staff pay. Read with the Staffing star rating to judge whether spend translates into coverage — and note that homes whose patient revenue covers only part of their operation can read implausibly high. The Michigan average is: 59.2% Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.

Regency at Grand Blanc

1330 Grand Pointe Court, Grand Blanc, MI 48439
Overview of Regency at Grand Blanc

Thirty-five days. That’s the average length of stay at Regency at Grand Blanc, which puts it at the acute end of post-acute care. People arrive from a hospital, recover, and leave. The neighborhood has a Walk Score of 20, car-dependent in all directions, which matters less when the stay is measured in weeks rather than months. Medicare and private pay are accepted.

The clinical infrastructure here goes well past standard short-term rehab. Cardiac rehabilitation, bariatric care, tracheostomy care, IV therapy, total parenteral nutrition, a sepsis program, and substance abuse management services are all confirmed. Pharmacy, laboratory, and radiology are on-site rather than referred out. Telemedicine access is available.

Outpatient therapy extends the facility’s services beyond discharge for patients who need continuity. A physician is on staff. Case management, discharge planning, and social work are built into the model rather than bolted on.

That breadth of clinical programming makes sense when the average stay is five weeks. Regency is handling patients who need medically complex recovery support in a concentrated window, not people settling in for a longer arc of residential care.

Staffing reflects the clinical orientation. Total nursing care runs 3 hours and 46 minutes per resident daily. RNs hold 1 hour and 8 minutes of that, which is notably high relative to other facilities in this region. Nurse aides carry 1 hour and 51 minutes, and LPNs and LVNs add 53 minutes. Activities include life enrichment classes, barbecues, puzzles, and crafts. A courtyard is on-site.

Regency at Grand Blanc operates as a medically intensive short-stay facility built for patients who need more than standard post-acute rehab in a concentrated five-week window.

Kith Haven

G-1069 Ballenger Highway, Flint, MI 48504
Overview of Kith Haven

Kith Haven operates a residential nursing home in Flint, Michigan, under the direction of owner Monica Alexander. The property accommodates short-term post-acute rehabilitation patients and long-term nursing residents, with an average length of stay hovering around 161 days. The local neighborhood has a walk score of 61, meaning the area is moderately walkable, and visitors can complete a few minor errands on foot, though most regional travel requires a vehicle.

The nursing department provides an average of four hours and five minutes of daily care to each resident, utilizing a continuous shift rotation of registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nurse aides. On-site clinical programs feature dedicated medical suites for dentistry, podiatry, and internal medicine, which cuts down on the need to schedule outside medical appointments.

Caregivers are equipped to handle bariatric care, IV therapy, tube feeding, and orthopedic rehabilitation, alongside managing a secured dementia unit and on-site psychiatric counseling services. For daily comfort, the home offers open visiting hours, an outdoor courtyard, an on-site beauty shop, and custom daily meals.

The Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs monitors nursing homes through routine field evaluations to confirm that physical property safety and clinical staffing ratios align with state laws.

Individuals can call the admissions desk to check on current bed vacancies or to verify clinical entry requirements. The business office can outline how they process invoices through Medicare or out-of-pocket private payments, explain their intake paperwork, and set up an in-person appointment to show you the rehabilitation spaces.

Overview of Mission Point Nursing & Physical Rehabilitation Center

Mission Point Nursing & Physical Rehabilitation Center is located in Flint, Michigan, and offers both nursing home and assisted living care. If you’re scoping out the area, the neighborhood has a Walk Score of 44, so you’ll definitely need a car or ride to handle most of your daily errands. It’s not exactly the kind of place where you can just walk to grab groceries or run quick tasks.

When you’re breaking down the logistics of care, the staffing numbers provide a useful, quantitative baseline. You’re looking at about 36 minutes of registered nurse coverage per resident, per day. LPN/LVNs add another 1 hour and 6 minutes, and nurse aides cover the bulk of the direct daily contact with 2 hours and 2 minutes. For anyone trying to analyze the quality of care or compare options, these hours are a helpful, concrete way to see how the clinical support is distributed.

The facility’s name highlights its rehabilitation focus, and since they handle both nursing home and assisted living, it’s a versatile option if you’re navigating the Flint area and need a facility that can bridge skilled nursing with post-acute recovery. It’s a pragmatic choice if you need that specific range of services under one roof.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Flint, 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 5 nursing homes in Flint, MI. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right nursing home in Flint, 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 Flint, 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 Flint, 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.
