Nursing Homes That Accept Medicaid in Michigan

418 of the 422 CMS-certified nursing homes in Michigan meet this rule: CMS lists the home as certified for Medicaid (or for both Medicare and Medicaid). Certification means the home can bill Medicaid; ask whether a Medicaid bed is open.

By CMS's overall rating, then its inspection rating, Aerius Health Center in Riverview (5 stars), Allegan County Medical Care Facility in Allegan (5 stars) and Bellbrook in Rochester Hills (5 stars) rank highest. Visit and check the latest inspection report before you decide.

Michigan lists an income limit of Extended Care/Waiver income limit $2982 (3 x the Federal SSI Benefit Rate $994, effective January 1, 2026) and an asset limit of $9,950 (asset group of one) or $14,910 (asset group of two), effective January 1, 2026, for the SSI-related categories that cover nursing home and waiver care, including Extended-Care (BEM 164) and Group 2 Aged, Blind and Disabled (BEM 166); other SSI-related categories keep $2,000 / $3,000 for 2026. A Medicaid-certified home can still have no Medicaid bed open, so ask when you call.

Read its Care Compare page for the full inspection reports, visit at different times, and ask about staffing and openings. Michigan's Michigan Long Term Care Ombudsman Program (MLTCOP) can answer questions about residents' rights.
