Michigan: CMS Rating Breakdown
Michigan has 423 CMS-certified nursing homes, according to current figures from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The state's nursing homes average a Five-Star overall rating of 3.17 out of 5. By ownership structure, the facilities break down into 326 for-profit homes, 59 nonprofit homes, and 38 government-operated homes.
The Five-Star rating system carries documented limitations as a measurement tool, and state-level averages serve as broad indicators rather than definitive assessments of individual facilities. When evaluating specific nursing homes for care decisions, prospective residents and families should consult the per-facility pages and each facility's live Care Compare profile maintained by CMS. These resources provide facility-specific data and performance metrics that are more relevant to individual circumstances than statewide averages alone.
How to read this. The star ratings here are official CMS Five-Star Quality figures, shown as the rating as of May2026 — a relative quality measure with documented limits, not a recommendation, guarantee, or medical/financial/legal advice. Always confirm the current rating and details on the facility’s live Medicare Care Compare profile, and involve the resident and their clinicians in any decision.
