CMS (the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) is the federal agency that rates nursing home quality. Its Overall Rating runs from 1 to 5 stars, combining health inspections, staffing, and quality measures, with inspections weighted most heavily.
Beaconshire Nursing Center sits at 21630 Hessel Ave in Detroit, in a neighborhood that scores a 63 on walkability; it’s enough to handle some errands on foot. The 103-bed nursing home accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.
The numbers tell you what kind of place this is pretty quickly. Average length of stay is 864 days, and 83.7% of beds are filled. This is a long-term care home, not a short-stay rehab stop, and families should go in with that understanding.
Staffing runs on LPNs and aides as the primary hands-on caregivers. Registered nurses are on the schedule for 12 minutes of direct care per resident per day. LPNs cover 1 hour and 34 minutes, and nurse aides cover 2 hours and 3 minutes. The building is staffed around the clock. That breakdown is worth sitting with when you’re thinking about what a specific person’s care needs actually require day to day.
On the clinical side, the facility offers physical, occupational, and speech therapy, plus podiatry, dental, mental health services, ophthalmology, an on-site physician, clinical lab, pharmacy, and X-ray. There’s a secured dementia unit for residents with memory care needs. Meals are prepared on-site daily, with fine dining options available. Transportation, housekeeping, laundry, beauty and barber services, and recreational activities are also part of the picture.
At an 864-day average stay and 83.7% occupancy, Beaconshire is built for the long haul; a Detroit nursing home with a wide range of on-site clinical services and a dedicated dementia unit, suited to residents with complex, ongoing care needs.
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.
Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.
| Staff type | Hours / Day / Resident | vs state avg |
|---|---|---|
|
Registered Nurse (RN)
RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.
| 12m per day | ▼ 74% State avg: 46m per day · National avg: 41m per day |
|
LPN / LVN
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.
| 1h 34m per day | ▲ 77% State avg: 53m per day · National avg: 52m per day |
|
Nurse Aide
Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.
| 2h 3m per day | ▼ 14% State avg: 2h 23m per day · National avg: 2h 21m per day |
|
Weekend Total Nursing
Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.
| 3h 7m per day | ▼ 11% State avg: 3h 31m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day |
|
Physical Therapist
Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.
| 0m per day | ▼ 100% State avg: 4m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
Weekend RN
Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.
| 4m per day | ▼ 85% State avg: 29m per day · National avg: 29m per day |

Net patient revenue — what the home actually collects for resident care, after contractual allowances, bad debt and discounts are subtracted from its gross charges (CMS cost report, Worksheet G-3). It covers resident care only; money the home earns from other sources is shown separately as "Other income."
Net patient income: net patient revenue minus the home's total operating expenses. A positive figure means it earns more from resident care than it spends to deliver it; a negative figure means the opposite. It excludes non-operating "other income."
