Overview of Teal Lake Senior Living Community
Teal Lake Senior Living Community is a 46-bed assisted living facility at 290 West Water Street in Negaunee, Marquette County, Michigan, operated by Teal Lake Senior Living Community. It provides assisted living, respite care, and memory care with homemade meals and Teal Lake views. Upcoming events programming is available. The location is moderately walkable, walk score 62.
The facility’s inspection record shows a facility that maintained compliance for nine years until late 2023, when substantive deficiencies emerged in resident safety planning and basic infection control procedures. Over eleven years since opening in 2015, it accumulated five total deficiencies at 0.5 annually, 29 percent below Michigan’s state average of 0.7. An original licensing study in 2015 and a license renewal in February 2023 both found the facility in compliance or substantial compliance. Yet within one year of the clean 2023 review, two inspections identified serious gaps.
A January 2024 complaint investigation substantiated that residents were eloping and that client service plans failed to reflect current elopement risk or monitoring needs.
The February 2024 renewal inspection identified four tuberculosis screening and risk assessment deficiencie: missing TB screening evidence was found for two residents; no facility-wide TB risk assessment existed for residents; three employees lacked initial TB screening documentation; and no facility-wide TB risk assessment existed for staff.
Neil Hinkson is administrator with Melissa Hinkson as authorized representative. Current occupancy is 7 residents in a 46-bed facility, representing 15.2 percent capacity. No fines, enforcement actions, or immediate jeopardy findings are recorded. The license.
The convergence of elopement failures and comprehensive TB screening gaps within one month is notable. The 2023 clean review apparently did not catch either issue, raising questions about inspection depth or consistency. The low occupancy may indicate difficulty attracting referrals following the complaint, or it may predate the complaint.
Families should ask about corrections for the elopement and service plan deficiencies from January 2024, and TB screening for all residents and staff.
