3 Michigan nursing homes report more than 100 coronavirus cases. See newly released data

New answers about which nursing homes have been most severely impacted by COVID-19 came Friday when Michigan officials released cumulative case data on facilities that house the state’s most vulnerable population.

But the accuracy of some of the numbers has been called into question by previous Free Press reporting. After the state's release, some said they don't trust the counts. 

The data released Friday shows nursing homes statewide have had about 5,000 coronavirus cases among residents with about 90% of the facilities reporting. Three homes in metro Detroit have had more than 100 cases and another five reported more than 80 cases, according to the state's data.

Friday was the first time since the start of the pandemic that the state has provided cumulative coronavirus cases broken down by nursing home. No death data was provided online Friday, but officials previously said more than 1,200 nursing homes residents have died.

According to the state's data, nursing homes reporting the highest total number of cases among residents include:

• Westland Convalescent & Rehab Center (Westland, a Villa Center) in Westland with 127 cases.
• Autumn Woods Residential Health in Warren with 111 cases.
• Fairlane Senior Care and Rehab Center in Detroit with 101 cases.

The Free Press left messages Friday with the facilities that had the highest number of cumulative cases and did not hear back from two of them.  (Click to continue)
