With a population of 162,150 residents, Lansing, Michigan is among is relatively large city. Surprisingly, there are just 4 nursing homes in the city, which is fewer than we expected in a city of this size. The small number of nursing homes here received a city grade of C, which is not a strong score at the city level. This score unfortunately is on the wrong side of the national average. In particular, we wanted to point out that there is one above average facility in the city. This is probably where we would begin our search in this city.
This city's nursing homes' most impressive category grade was in the area of short-term care. In this area, we gave Lansing a grade of B+. High end short-term care grades generally mean a city's nursing homes have impressive physical therapy staffing levels. The city also earned one of our better scores in our nursing category, with a grade of B. Finally, this place received grades of B- and F for our inspections and long-term care categories respectively. As you can see, this city's long-term care grade really dragged down its overall grade.
