About Nursing Home Care in Baldwin
Baldwin, MI, is not an ideal market for nursing home care. The standout is Grand Oaks Nursing Center, but it unfortunately has a Grade D rating, indicating significant concerns. With a city average of only 3.0 stars, the options are limited and concerning for families seeking quality care for their loved ones. While there are no major red flags reported, the lack of high-quality facilities means families should consider looking in neighboring cities for better alternatives.
Currently, there are no recommended facilities in Baldwin worth visiting. The only option, Grand Oaks Nursing Center, does not meet the standards families should seek. With no non-profit facilities and a complete absence of well-staffed options, the best course of action is to explore nursing homes in nearby towns like White Cloud or Fremont, where you may find better care alternatives.
Skip Grand Oaks Nursing Center altogether due to its Grade D rating, which raises serious concerns about the quality of care provided. This facility has not demonstrated a commitment to excellence, leaving families with fewer choices in Baldwin. When visiting any facility, always ask to speak with current residents and their families to get firsthand insights into the care and environment.

Understanding Our Trust Score System
The Trust Score is a 0-100 rating calculated from CMS's official nursing home database. The score combines five data categories:
- Health Inspection Results — Recent deficiencies, their severity, and patterns over time
- Staffing Levels — RN hours, total nursing hours, and weekend staffing
- Quality Measures — Clinical outcomes like falls, pressure ulcers, and rehospitalizations
- Penalties — Fines, payment denials, and enforcement actions
- Complaints — Substantiated complaints and their severity
In Baldwin, 0 facilities score a B grade or better, indicating they meet quality benchmarks across these categories. We recommend families prioritize these facilities and carefully research any facility rated C or below before visiting.
Staffing: A Significant Concern in Baldwin
Staffing levels are among the most important predictors of nursing home quality. Research consistently shows that facilities with more nursing staff—especially registered nurses—have better outcomes for residents.
Baldwin facilities average 0.49 RN hours per resident day, which falls below the CMS-recommended threshold of 0.75 hours. The typical Baldwin resident receives approximately 29 minutes of RN attention daily—compared to the 45 minutes experts recommend.
0 Baldwin facilities exceed CMS staffing recommendations. Families prioritizing staffing should look for facilities with the "Top Staffing" badge and ask specifically about RN hours during facility visits.
Ownership: An All For-Profit Market
Baldwin has no non-profit nursing homes—all 1 facility with reported ownership data are for-profit operations. 1 of 1 facility is chain-owned, meaning these facilities are part of larger corporate systems rather than independently operated.
Research suggests non-profit facilities often have higher staffing levels and fewer deficiencies on average. The absence of non-profit options in Baldwin may be worth noting. Families seeking non-profit care should consider facilities in surrounding areas.
Ownership type alone does not guarantee quality. Several for-profit facilities in Baldwin perform well. Families should evaluate each facility individually using inspection data, staffing levels, and recent deficiency reports rather than ownership type alone.
