About Nursing Home Care in Jackson
The nursing home landscape in Jackson, MI, is concerning for families seeking care options. While the city has a few facilities that are worth considering, the overall market is limited. The standout is Vista Grande Villa, which boasts a solid 4-star CMS rating and a Grade B designation with a score of 70. However, families should be cautious, as the majority of facilities do not meet acceptable standards.
When exploring nursing homes in Jackson, consider visiting Vista Grande Villa for its commendable reputation and care quality. Additionally, Jackson County Medical Care Facility has a clean record with zero fines in the last three years, making it a reliable option. Lastly, Spring Arbor Assisted Living is worth a look for its well-staffed environment, which is crucial for resident care. However, if you're not satisfied with these options, consider looking at nearby cities for better facilities.
Families should be aware of facilities to avoid, including Faith Haven Senior Care Centre, which has serious abuse citations and a Grade F rating. Cascade Senior Care Center has faced hefty fines totaling $83K and also carries a Grade F. Lastly, Regency at Jackson is another facility to skip due to its similar failing grade. Always visit in person to assess the environment and speak with staff and residents, as this can provide invaluable insights into the care your loved one will receive.

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 Jackson, 1 facility scores 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 Jackson
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.
Jackson facilities average 0.70 RN hours per resident day, which falls below the CMS-recommended threshold of 0.75 hours. The typical Jackson resident receives approximately 42 minutes of RN attention daily—compared to the 45 minutes experts recommend.
3 Jackson 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: Mix of For-Profit and Non-Profit
Jackson has 1 non-profit nursing homes and 4 for-profit facilities. 4 of 6 facilities are chain-owned, with the remainder independently operated.
Research suggests non-profit facilities often have higher staffing levels and fewer deficiencies on average, though ownership type alone does not guarantee quality. Families should evaluate each facility individually using inspection data, staffing levels, and recent deficiency reports.
