LakeHouse Three Rivers
LakeHouse Three Rivers is a 61-bed assisted living community at 1215 N. Elm Street, Three Rivers, St. Joseph County, MI, operated by Three Rivers AL LLC and licensed as a Home for the Aged. The community is located within the Three Rivers city center.
The facility provides apartment-style living with one-bedroom and suite options, supporting residents seeking residential care with independence. Memory care and respite care are available. The neighborhood is very walkable, scoring 71 on accessibility metrics and ranking 67th of 702 Michigan communities in this category.
Amenities include activity room, lounges, hair salon, weekly housekeeping and laundry services, social and recreational programming, wellness programming, community outings, and assistance with transportation scheduling. Residents receive chef-prepared meals daily. Safety infrastructure includes illuminated apartment entry ways, smoke detectors, and sprinkler systems throughout.
Starting monthly rates are $3,595 and $4,495.
Originally licensed as Bowman Place in 2017, the facility maintained a clean compliance record. In August 2023, ownership and management changed, with the name altered to LakeHouse Three Rivers. Within weeks, several investigations and a renewal inspection documented serious deficiencies.
A July 2023 complaint investigation identified incomplete medication administration records. An August 2023 complaint investigation substantiated that residents were left wet and unattended and employees were sleeping while on duty. The September 2023 renewal inspection found five deficiencies: missing tuberculosis screening for residents and employees, incomplete medication administration documentation for narcotic medications, no food usage records for the preceding three-month period, and hazardous materials stored in locations accessible to residents. At the September 2023 renewal, the facility housed 23 residents in a 61-bed facility, representing 38% occupancy.
No enforcement actions or fines appear in available records. The pattern of escalating deficiencies suggests operational challenges emerged after the management transition.
LakeHouse Three Rivers offers apartment-style assisted living in a very walkable location, though recent inspections have documented significant compliance challenges affecting resident care and operational safety.
