Willowbrook Manor
Inspected within the last 6 months. Data reflects current conditions.
Willowbrook Manor in Flint, Michigan has a Trust Grade of F, indicating significant concerns about the care quality and overall environment. With a state rank of #355 out of 422 facilities, they fall in the bottom half of Michigan nursing homes, and their county rank of #12 out of 15 suggests that only a few local options are better. Despite these challenges, the staffing rating is a relative strength at 4 out of 5 stars, with a turnover rate of 41%, which is better than the state average. However, the facility has a concerning $147,365 in fines, which is higher than 89% of Michigan facilities, reflecting repeated compliance issues. Recent inspections revealed serious incidents, including failures to manage pressure ulcers and monitor a resident’s blood glucose, which led to severe health complications. While there are some positive aspects, such as good staffing levels, families should be aware of the significant issues affecting resident care.

About This Facility
What is Willowbrook Manor's CMS Rating?
CMS assigns Willowbrook Manor an overall rating of 2 out of 5 stars, which is considered below average nationally. Within Michigan, this rating places the facility higher than 0% of the state's 100 nursing homes. A rating at this level reflects concerns identified through health inspections, staffing assessments, or quality measures that families should carefully consider.
How is Willowbrook Manor Staffed?
CMS rates Willowbrook Manor's staffing level at 4 out of 5 stars, which is above average compared to other nursing homes. Staff turnover is 41%, compared to the Michigan average of 46%. This relatively stable workforce can support continuity of care.
What Have Inspectors Found at Willowbrook Manor?
State health inspectors documented 48 deficiencies at Willowbrook Manor during 2022 to 2025. These included: 3 that caused actual resident harm and 45 with potential for harm. Deficiencies causing actual harm indicate documented cases where residents experienced negative health consequences.
Who Owns and Operates Willowbrook Manor?
Willowbrook Manor is owned by a for-profit company. For-profit facilities operate as businesses with obligations to shareholders or private owners. The facility is operated by CIENA HEALTHCARE/LAUREL HEALTH CARE, a chain that manages multiple nursing homes. With 130 certified beds and approximately 116 residents (about 89% occupancy), it is a mid-sized facility located in Flint, Michigan.
How Does Willowbrook Manor Compare to Other Michigan Nursing Homes?
Compared to the 100 nursing homes in Michigan, Willowbrook Manor's overall rating (2 stars) is below the state average of 3.1, staff turnover (41%) is near the state average of 46%, and health inspection rating (2 stars) is below the national benchmark.
What Should Families Ask When Visiting Willowbrook Manor?
Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "Can I visit during a mealtime to observe dining assistance and food quality?" "How do you handle medical emergencies, and what is your hospital transfer rate?" "Can I speak with family members of current residents about their experience?"
Is Willowbrook Manor Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, Willowbrook Manor has a clean safety record: no substantiated abuse findings (meaning no confirmed cases of resident harm), no Immediate Jeopardy citations (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death), and is not on the Special Focus Facility watch list (a federal program monitoring the lowest-performing 1% of nursing homes). The facility has a 2-star overall rating and ranks #100 of 100 nursing homes in Michigan. While no facility is perfect, families should still ask about staff-to-resident ratios and recent inspection results during their visit.
Do Nurses at Willowbrook Manor Stick Around?
Willowbrook Manor has a staff turnover rate of 41%, which is about average for Michigan nursing homes (state average: 46%). Moderate turnover is common in nursing homes, but families should still ask about staff tenure and how the facility maintains care continuity when employees leave.
Was Willowbrook Manor Ever Fined?
Willowbrook Manor has been fined $147,365 across 3 penalty actions. This is 4.3x the Michigan average of $34,553. Fines at this level are uncommon and typically indicate a pattern of serious deficiencies, repeated violations, or failure to correct problems promptly. CMS reserves penalties of this magnitude for facilities that pose significant, documented risk to resident health or safety. Families should request specific documentation of what issues led to these fines and what systemic changes have been implemented.
Is Willowbrook Manor on Any Federal Watch List?
Willowbrook Manor is not on any federal watch list. The most significant is the Special Focus Facility (SFF) program, which identifies the bottom 1% of nursing homes nationally based on persistent, serious quality problems. Not being on this list means the facility has avoided the pattern of deficiencies that triggers enhanced federal oversight. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
