Bronson Commons is a Medicare- and Medicaid-certified skilled nursing facility in Mattawan, Michigan, operating under CMS Certification Number (CCN) 235434. 100-bed facility. Non Profit - Corporation. Independent (not part of a multi-facility chain). The facility is required to comply with the Requirements for Long-Term Care Facilities at 42 CFR Part 483.
Bronson Commons has held its Medicare/Medicaid certification for approximately 41 years (certification date on file: 1984-08-15). Long-tenured facilities (15+ years) often have established F-tag remediation playbooks and a deeper standard-survey trail; newly-certified facilities (under 3 years) are subject to a different initial survey cadence under 42 CFR 488.308.
Local market context (Van Buren County): Bronson Commons is the only Medicare-certified skilled nursing facility in the same-county sample for Michigan. Sole-provider counties concentrate post-acute placement decisions into a single facility, which can either be operational leverage or a regulatory-visibility risk depending on quality trajectory.
CMS publishes Five-Star ratings for nursing homes monthly, drawn from the most recent three years of standard surveys, complaint surveys, and Minimum Data Set (MDS) submissions.
Long-Stay Quality Measure rating: ★★★☆☆ (3 of 5). Long-stay measures cover residents in the facility 100+ days and include indicators like residents experiencing one or more falls with major injury, residents whose ability to move independently worsened, and residents with a urinary tract infection.
Short-Stay Quality Measure rating: ★★★☆☆ (3 of 5). Short-stay measures cover post-acute residents discharged within 100 days and include rehospitalization within 30 days, successful return to community, and improvement in function.
Differentiating long-stay from short-stay QMs matters for placement decisions — a facility with strong short-stay QMs may still underperform on long-stay metrics, and vice versa.
Bronson Commons has none of the four CMS-published red-flag indicators active at the most recent publish: not on the Special Focus Facility list, no Abuse Icon on Care Compare, no overdue inspection flag, and no recent change-of-ownership flag. Absence of these flags does not mean the facility is deficiency-free — see the survey history below.
Recent health deficiencies cited at last standard survey: 11. National average for facilities of this size is approximately 8 deficiencies per cycle. Bronson Commons has no CMS fines in its most recent reporting cycle. Last documented standard health survey: 2025-06-12. CMS conducts standard surveys at most every 15 months for SNFs, with substandard-quality findings triggering more frequent revisits.
CMS health survey weighted score: 49. The weighted score multiplies deficiency severity (A-L) by scope (isolated, pattern, widespread); higher weighted scores translate directly into the Health Inspection star rating tier breakpoints CMS publishes monthly.
Payment denials for new admissions in the most recent CMS reporting window: 1. Denial-of-payment-for-new-admissions (DPNA) is one of the enforcement remedies CMS uses under 42 CFR 488.417. It is typically imposed when a facility has been cited at scope and severity levels of F or higher and fails to substantially comply by the date specified in the certification notice.
Total enforcement penalties assessed in the most recent reporting window: $1. This figure aggregates Civil Money Penalties (CMPs), DPNA-equivalent revenue impacts, and other monetary remedies under 42 CFR Part 488 Subpart F.
Bronson Commons already meets the cadre-specific minimums scheduled to take effect on the May 2029 timeline under 89 FR 40876 (RN 1.404 HPRD vs the 0.55 floor; nurse-aide 2.51 HPRD vs the 2.45 floor). The constraint going forward is sustaining these levels under turnover pressure.
Total nurse staffing: 4.329 hours per resident day (HPRD), which is 0.85 hours above the 3.48 total HPRD floor that the CMS Minimum Staffing Standards rule (89 FR 40876, May 2024) phases in for rural-facility facilities by May 2029.
Staffing mix: RN 1.404 HPRD, LPN 0.415 HPRD, CNA 2.51 HPRD. The same CMS final rule also phases in cadre-specific minimums of 0.55 RN HPRD and 2.45 nurse aide HPRD on the 2029 timeline; RN-specific shortfalls have historically been the most common single-facility staffing deficiency at standard surveys.
Weekend RN staffing: 0.998 HPRD. Weekend RN coverage is a separately reported CMS measure; facilities with low weekend RN HPRD frequently see resident-acuity-driven adverse events spike on the weekend shift.
Total nurse staff turnover: 39.8% annualized — moderate.
RN-specific turnover: 11.1% annualized. RN turnover above 50% is the single strongest correlate with QM rating decline in CMS's own internal analyses.
Bronson Commons is independently operated (not part of a multi-facility chain). Independent SNFs typically rely on internal compliance staff or contracted consultants rather than corporate-level survey-prep teams; this affects both how quickly Plans of Correction are produced and how F-tag remediation is documented across multiple shifts.
Provider type designation: Medicare And Medicaid.
The facility is classified by CMS as rural (outside metropolitan statistical areas). Rural SNFs face different challenges — referral pipeline depth, RN availability, ambulance distance for transfers — and CMS applies certain modifiers to the staffing minimums under hardship exemption pathways for rural facilities.
Peer comparisons use a same-state cohort of 200 Medicare-certified SNFs, pulled live from CMS Provider Data. The cohort excludes terminated and surrendered certifications.
FileFlo's compliance indicator for Bronson Commons is 74/100 (Minor Gaps). The score is derived from publicly published health-deficiency counts, weighted survey scores, infection-control citations, fines, and staffing hours per resident day. It is not a CMS rating. The full survey-readiness audit (covering F-tags from the most recently cited deficiencies, infection control, staffing minimums, MDS accuracy) is at /tools/cms-survey-readiness-score.
FileFlo publishes a profile for every Medicare-certified nursing home so administrators, DONs, and family members can find the same publicly-published quality data without bouncing between Care Compare, the SFF list, and the CMS Provider Data Catalog.
