In the fourth quarter of 2023, Skilled Beltline stood out as the largest nursing home in Kent County, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

Data shows that the nursing center had a total of 182 beds available, 96 more than the average in Kent County as of the fourth quarter of 2023. They aided an average of 130 residents during that period.

Skilled Beltline had an overall rating of 1 from the CMS, which lags behind the average of 3.1 recorded for nursing homes in Michigan.

During the quarter, Corewell Health Rehabilitation and Nursing Center - Kentridge stood out as the second largest nursing home in Kent County, with 165 beds available. Laurels of Kent came in third place, with 153 beds available.

As of the fourth quarter of 2023, Skilled Beltline has already spent a total of $371,731 in nine fines and suffered 13 penalties.

In total, there were 13 for-profit nursing homes in Kent County, Michigan.

According to US Census data, in 2020, nearly 1 in 6 Americans were aged 65 years or older. Since 1920, the older population skyrocketed from 4.9 million to 55.8 million, reflecting a growth rate of roughly 1,000%, five times higher than the average growth for the overall U.S. population.

A 2021 study suggests that nearly half of this age group, roughly 28 million individuals, may require long-term services and support. Additionally, the study projects that over a third of them may eventually need nursing home care.

“Living a long life is something that many of us want and could get,” said Jesse Slome, executive director of the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance, an insurance education group. “But when we live a long life, the chances of us needing long-term care increase exponentially. But when you need that type of care, there are limited options.”
