Data insights
Quality ratings
CMS's most recent Care Compare release (data as of April 2026) puts Oakview Medical Care Facility's overall quality rating at 5 out of 5 stars, a composite of three sub-ratings: health inspection (4/5), staffing (5/5), and quality measures (3/5).
What each sub-rating measures

The staffing rating compares case-mix-adjusted nurse hours per resident day to national benchmarks, and quality measures aggregate 15 clinical indicators including pressure ulcers, falls with injury, and long-stay antipsychotic use.
Size and setting
Located in Ludington, Michigan, this facility operates 96 certified beds with an average daily census of roughly 74 residents - an occupancy rate of about 77%. The facility is classified under government - county ownership, a designation that can influence staffing patterns, reinvestment decisions, and admissions policy. At roughly 77% occupancy, this facility has meaningful open capacity relative to its certified bed count.
Same-ownership peers
Within Michigan, Oakview Medical Care Facility is one of 33 government - county nursing homes CMS rates. Its 5-star overall rating sits above the government - county-segment average of 3.8 stars, ahead of roughly 61% of same-ownership peers in the state. Comparing a facility against its own ownership segment holds the business model roughly constant, which helps isolate facility-level performance from the staffing and reinvestment patterns that differ across for-profit, non-profit, and government operators.
Inspection record
On the regulatory side, federal and state surveyors have documented a moderate number of deficiencies at this facility (8 total). CMS has levied no enforcement penalties over the equivalent window. This volume of findings is worth reading past the count: CMS's F-tag scale separates isolated, low-harm citations from widespread or immediate-jeopardy ones, and only the full report shows which this facility has.
Where these figures come from
The figures above come directly from the U.S. Centers for Medicare \& Medicaid Services Nursing Home Compare dataset for federal quality ratings, combined with the CareScout 2025 Cost of Care Survey of more than 15,000 elder-care providers nationwide and U.S. Census American Community Survey income data. Cost figures are monthly medians, refreshed annually with each new CareScout release; quality ratings are refreshed quarterly from the CMS Provider Information File. Read these state and county medians as benchmarks, then verify current rates with individual providers and consult care managers before making placement decisions.
