Deficiencies indicate regulatory issues. A higher number implies the facility had several areas requiring improvement.
Michigan average: 8 deficiencies
The most recent inspection on October 4, 2024, found deficiencies related to physician orders and monitoring for bedside assistive devices, tuberculosis screening for a new employee, incomplete staff training records, and sanitation logs. Earlier inspections showed mostly compliance, with a substantiated complaint investigation in June 2024 involving a resident fall due to staff leaving the resident unattended against her service plan. The main issues across reports involved resident safety, staff training and documentation, and infection control procedures. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. The inspection history indicates ongoing challenges with documentation and staff compliance, with no clear trend of improvement or worsening.
