Overview of Mill Creek Memory Care Community

Mill Creek Memory Care Community is a 36-bed memory care facility at Suite B 1600 Mill Creek Court in Marquette, Marquette County, Michigan, operated by Mill Creek Memory Care Community, Inc. The neighborhood ranks sixth statewide for walkability, with a Walk Score of 92. The facility offers memory care, assisted living, and respite care services.

Over 13 years, the regulatory record documents steady compliance. Original licensing in August 2011 found the facility in substantial compliance with zero deficiencies. The February 2023 renewal produced the same result. In May 2024, the most recent renewal inspection identified one deficiency: kitchen staff not wearing hair nets or hats during food preparation, a food-safety violation with no evidence of actual resident harm.

That single deficiency marks the facility’s only documented regulatory violation since opening. Averaged across the 13-year window, the facility has accumulated 0.3 deficiencies per year, 94 percent better than Michigan’s average of 5.2 per year. No complaint investigations, fines, or enforcement actions appear in the record.

The May 2024 deficiency is administrative and confined to dietary practices, not direct care failure. The facility’s compliance posture reflects generally disciplined attention to operational requirements, interrupted by a specific lapse in one protocol.

At the time of the May 2024 inspection, the facility was operating at seven residents against its 36-bed capacity, representing 19 percent occupancy. The facility offers Health & Wellness programming alongside memory care and respite services. Its position in a highly walkable neighborhood means families and staff can manage daily errands on foot.

The May 2024 deficiency warrants direct inquiry to ensure that the facility has implemented substantive corrections and that no more serious deficiencies have developed.

Families should verify corrections to food-service protocols, particularly given the facility’s limited recent inspection record and low current census in a memory care setting.
