Overview of Allegria Village

Allegria Village sits at 15101 Ford Rd in Dearborn, Michigan, a mid-rise community operated by Firo Operator LLC with 132 beds spread across studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom floor plans. The building opened four years ago. The neighborhood is moderately walkable, with a Walk Score of 52.

The numbers here tell a specific story. Seventy of 132 beds are occupied, and the average resident stays 31 days. This is not primarily a long-term placement facility. It runs like a post-acute hub, with short-term rehab, rehabilitation services, and respite care as the core offerings, backed by a doctor on staff and 24-hour staffing.

Total nursing care reaches 4 hours and 43 minutes per resident per day, with nurse aides covering 2 hours and 26 minutes of that. For families navigating a discharge from the hospital, these figures tell them what they’re getting.

Allegria Village carries four care tracks: nursing home, assisted living, independent living, and memory care, which means residents who start with short-term rehab have the option to transition rather than relocate. The community has a 55+ Living program and an active resident council. Recreational activities and beauty services are on-site.

State inspections have tended to center on medication management, care planning and documentation, staffing and staff credentials, and environmental safety. The facility accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.

For a family looking at post-acute rehab in the western Detroit metro, Allegria Village offers a multi-care-track setting where a short stay and a longer one can happen under the same roof.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Michigan

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 132 nursing homes in Michigan. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right nursing home 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 nursing homes 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.
