Why is this number different on other sites? Other sites may use a different survey year, an average instead of a median, or a narrower sample of providers. Every figure on this page states its source and period so you can compare like with like. We don't yet publish a room-type/care-level breakdown for Michigan; our cost model currently reports a single blended range.
