Who We Are
The Manistee County Medical Care Facility (MCMCF) is a county-owned not-for-profit skilled nursing facility located on US-31 on the north side of Manistee, Michigan next door to the Munson Healthcare Manistee Hospital. The facility has 100 licensed beds and provides complete skilled nursing care, including comprehensive short-term rehabilitation services. Established in 1868 as the County Farm and Hospital, it has evolved into the MCMCF. The building was constructed in 1959 and expanded in 2004 when additional resident rooms in the Dena wing were added.

The MCMCF staff is dedicated to providing the best possible care to the residents. They are constantly undergoing training and listen to the residents and families to determine how they can improve their services.
The Tunnel
The tunnel connects us to the hospital next door, In the past, it was used to provide heat and laundry to the hospital as well as to transport residents/patients between the two facilities. Is is currently only used to transport our residents for services provided at the hospital or to bring their patients here to be admitted. Between 2010 and 2014, local art students painted murals in the tunnel to brighten it up and give people something nice to look at while they travel between the two buildings.
