Assisted Living, Memory Care & Respite Care · Chesaning, MI
Union Court of Chesaning is a 62-bed nonprofit assisted living facility at 244 Elwyn Drive in Chesaning, Saginaw County, Michigan, operated by Baruch SLS, Inc. It provides supportive care, memory care, and respite services with 24-hour staffing and rehabilitation options including short-term rehabilitation. Seven amenities include housekeeping and laundry, ADL assistance, religious services, social and recreational activities, medication assistance, and care coordination with outside agencies. Residents receive three daily meals with snacks and special diets.
Regulatory performance substantially exceeds state averages. Over six years since 2018, the facility accumulated six deficiencies at 0.8 annually, 20 percent below Michigan’s average of 1 per year.
Recent inspection history shows variable compliance. The May 2024 renewal inspection cited four deficiencies, a significant departure from the prior year. Resident A’s medication administration record lacked essential behavioral detail and documentation of nonpharmaceutical anxiety interventions; admission contracts for four residents incorrectly identified the facility licensee, rendering them invalid. Memory care unit cleaning products were accessible rather than stored securely, creating hazard for residents with cognitive impairment; oxygen tanks placed unsecured in resident rooms posed potential injury risk.
This inspection followed a June 2023 administrative review that found substantial regulatory compliance and resulted in license renewal. The original January 2018 licensing study similarly found substantial compliance. The contrast between the clean 2023 review and the four deficiencies identified in 2024 suggests either deterioration in compliance management or increased inspection scrutiny; the available record does not clarify which. Documentation errors and safety storage lapses indicate lapses in operational oversight rather than acute crises, but they represent genuine regulatory violations.
No complaint investigations or enforcement actions are recorded. The license.
If possible, request clarification on corrective actions taken, current medication documentation procedures ensuring behavioral and intervention detail, processes for maintaining valid admission contracts with current licensee information, and current safety protocols for hazardous materials storage in the memory care unit. Likewise, verify storage security procedures for oxygen tanks and medical supplies before making a placement decision.
Families should ask administrators directly about the four deficiencies identified in the May 2024 inspection, particularly the contrasting finding from June 2023.
