Marywood Nursing Care Center
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Marywood Nursing Care Center in Livonia, Michigan, has a Trust Grade of B+, indicating it is above average and generally recommended for families considering care options. It ranks #45 out of 422 facilities in Michigan, placing it in the top half, and #3 out of 63 in Wayne County, suggesting that only two local facilities perform better. The facility's trend is improving, with a significant drop in issues from seven in 2024 to just one in 2025. Staffing is a strong point, with a 4/5 star rating and a turnover rate of 23%, well below the state average, indicating that staff are likely to stay and build relationships with residents. While there are strengths, there are also areas of concern. For instance, there were multiple live flies observed in the kitchen, which raises food safety issues, and the facility struggled to maintain appropriate infection control during a COVID-19 outbreak, including improper storage of drinks on medication carts. However, it is worth noting that the facility has no fines on record, showing compliance with regulations. Overall, Marywood Nursing Care Center offers a generally positive environment, but families should be aware of the specific concerns regarding cleanliness and infection control practices.

Is Marywood Nursing Care Center Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, Marywood Nursing Care Center 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 5-star overall rating and ranks #1 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 Marywood Nursing Care Center Stick Around?
Staff at Marywood Nursing Care Center tend to stick around. With a turnover rate of 23%, the facility is 22 percentage points below the Michigan average of 46%. Low turnover is a positive sign.

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.
