In Michigan, the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) conducts unannounced inspections and investigations to ensure long-term care facilities comply with state health codes.
The data displayed corresponds to the last 11 years.
Inspections are mandatory, regular evaluations conducted by state health departments or regulatory agencies. They ensure the community provides safe, compliant care, covering areas like resident health, staff and management.
Michigan average: 5 visits/inspections
Deficiencies indicate regulatory issues. A higher number implies the facility had several areas requiring improvement.
Michigan average: 8 deficiencies
0.3 deficiencies per inspection
Michigan average: 1.6 deficiencies per inspection
The most recent inspection on August 27, 2024, found the facility to be in substantial compliance with licensing requirements and recommended renewal of its license without deficiencies. Prior inspections generally showed compliance, with one complaint investigation on November 4, 2022, identifying deficiencies related to a resident not receiving required showers and the use of an unauthorized bedrail without proper documentation. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. Most complaints were unsubstantiated except for the shower and bedrail issues noted in 2022. The inspection history suggests the facility has maintained compliance with some isolated issues that were addressed over time.
