Overview of Medilodge of Sterling Heights

Facebook

Medilodge of Sterling Heights is a nursing home in Sterling Heights, MI, offering skilled nursing, palliative care, respite care, and short and long term care. Skilled nursing includes licensed nursing care on site around the clock. Palliative care supports residents receiving services focused on comfort and symptom management, while short term rehabilitation supports recovery after an illness, injury, or hospital stay.

Respite care provides a short stay when a resident’s usual caregiver needs time away. The Rehabilitation / Therapy Center provides therapy services on site, so residents can receive rehabilitation without arranging transportation elsewhere. On site hemodialysis gives residents who need that treatment access within the facility, and physician coverage seven days a week, an on site medical director, a podiatrist, and a dentist provide several medical services on site.

There are also salon and spa services, religious services, manicured gardens, and an outdoor courtyard for time outside. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted, giving families several payment routes based on eligibility and available resources. Patient and family education, dysphagia training, and a fall management program address specific care and safety needs, making the community a potential fit for someone who needs skilled nursing, short term rehabilitation, or a temporary respite stay.

Hours per resident per day vs Michigan averages

Rank #52 / 128Nurse hours — State benchmarked This nursing home is ranked 52nd out of 128 nursing homes we track in Michigan for nurse hours. Shows adjusted nurse hours per resident per day benchmarked to the Michigan average, with a ranking across 128 Michigan facilities. More hours mean more direct care. The national average is about 3.5 hrs; below 3.0 is a red flag. Communities with the same value for a metric share the same rank. Rankings compare like with like: every nursing home we track in Michigan that reports data for that category. Nursing homes without available data are excluded, so the pool size varies from metric to metric.

Total nursing care Info This nursing home is ranked 52nd out of 128 nursing homes we track in Michigan for nurse hours. Total adjusted nursing hours per resident per day, combining RN, LPN, and aide time. CMS adjusts this for case-mix so facilities can be fairly compared.

Staff type
Hours / day / resident
vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.
27m
−47% State avg: 50m per day · National avg: 42m per day
LPN / LVN Info Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.
1h 7m
+18% State avg: 57m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.
2h 32m
Avg State avg: 2h 32m per day · National avg: 2h 24m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Info Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.
3h 28m
−9% State avg: 3h 48m per day · National avg: 3h 31m per day
Physical Therapist Info Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.
2m
−59% State avg: 4m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Info Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.
