Westwood Nursing Center

Westwood Nursing Center is a skilled nursing facility located on Schaefer Highway in Detroit's 48235 zip code, embedded in the northwest Detroit community it has served for years. Situated in an area anchored by the residential character of Palmer Woods, Bagley, and the Midwest-Livernois neighborhoods, Westwood offers seniors and families a familiar, community-rooted setting for skilled nursing care. Schaefer Highway serves as a central north-south artery through northwest Detroit, connecting the facility to the broader metro area with ease. Families traveling from the northern suburbs of Ferndale or Southfield, as well as those from inner Detroit neighborhoods, will find Westwood accessible by multiple routes. The facility's northwest Detroit location keeps it close to the cultural and civic institutions that longtime Detroiters know well, including the Fisher Building and New Center area, which anchor the neighborhood's identity as a hub of Detroit history and community. For healthcare coordination, Henry Ford Hospital — one of Michigan's preeminent academic medical centers on West Grand Boulevard — is among the most prominent nearby facilities, supporting care transitions and specialist follow-up. Sinai-Grace Hospital on West Outer Drive is also nearby, providing emergency and inpatient services. Families looking for outdoor space will appreciate Palmer Park, one of northwest Detroit's most beloved green spaces, featuring walking paths, a historic clubhouse, and a pond that make it an ideal spot for family outings during visits. Westwood Nursing Center is independently operated, reflecting a direct ownership model that allows for focused, community-level accountability in care delivery. Staff at Westwood take pride in knowing residents by name and building genuine relationships with families throughout a loved one's stay.
