Services include assisted living, independent living, memory care, light assisted living, specialized care, and short-term stay with respite care. Administrator David J. Bos leads operations.
The facility has operated for 42 years, ranked 9th statewide for longevity. Walk score is 91, ranked 9th statewide. BBB rating is A+ accredited. License.
The inspection record spans 21 years and shows exceptional compliance.
Original licensing in 2005 found substantial compliance. The facility managed multiple capacity expansions in 2011, 2014, and later reductions in 2022 without deficiencies documented at those transitions.
March 2023 renewal found zero deficiencies.
April 2024 renewal documented two deficiencies. An unlocked medication cart posed risk to residents with cognitive impairment. Food items lacked open dates, rendering safety for consumption undeterminable.
October 2024 inspection approving a capacity reduction from 155 to 135 beds found zero deficiencies, suggesting corrective action occurred.
Religious services and faith-based programming are central to the facility’s identity and operation. Daily devotions and Sunday worship services are offered. Prayer network programming, volunteer opportunities, and community giving programs are available. Daily activity events and programs are structured around resident interests and engagement.
The physical setting is exceptional. Walk score of 91 places the facility in Kalamazoo’s central business district where daily errands require no car and essential services are within walking distance. This is material for residents valuing community access and independence.

Overview of Medilodge of Mt Pleasant
Medilodge of Mt Pleasant is a 132-bed skilled nursing community in Mount Pleasant, Michigan, operated as a privately owned facility since 1980 and currently administered by Mrs. Bobby Sherlock. Located at 1524 Portabella Trail in Isabella County, the nursing home serves a mixed population of short-term rehabilitation and long-term care residents, with current occupancy at 47%, notably below state levels.
Staffing includes 126 total personnel covering 24-hour skilled nursing, rehabilitation, respite care, specialized services in palliative and hospice care, wound management, IV therapy, fall prevention programming, and secure memory care. On-site clinicians span medical directors, licensed practitioners, and specialists, including an on-site podiatrist, dentist, salon services, and religious services. The community emphasizes fine dining, rehabilitation facilities, and amenities including pet therapy, WiFi, private rooms, gardens, and courtyard spaces.
Average resident stay runs 74 days overall, with Medicare admissions typically staying 28 days and Medicaid residents remaining 8 to 9 months.
The facility holds 4-star CMS ratings for overall performance and health inspection (20.1% above state average), suggesting strong baseline compliance. Yet across five inspections in three years, inspectors documented 16 deficiencies; double the state average.
Most recent findings identified eight compliance gaps: inaccessible call lights for dependent residents, failure to notify family of a fall-related injury, unimplemented fall-prevention interventions, tube-feeding labeling errors, missed nebulizer treatments with inadequate equipment cleaning, narcotic documentation inaccuracies, kitchen sanitation failures, and absence of plumbing-system legionella risk management.
Prior surveys in 2024 and 2023 uncovered similar patterns in medication administration oversight, infection control precautions, tube-feeding protocols, and vaccination compliance.
Two substantiated complaints were documented concerning gaps: December 2023 investigation revealed Resident #5 developed unstageable pressure ulcers from prolonged bedpan exposure; wounds were documented on October 2, but treatment was delayed, and the care plan omitted interventions addressing the identified cause. February 2023 investigation found that a CNA failed to follow a resident’s documented two-person transfer requirement. Staff education was provided following both incidents.
Nursing hours run 3 hours 50 minutes per resident per day, 10% below the state average, with registered nurse hours notably 50% above average, but licensed practical nurse hours 87% below state norms.
Pressure ulcer rates (4.2%) and antipsychotic medication use (0.9%) significantly outperform state benchmarks, as do hospitalization rates and vaccine administration above 97%. Weight loss, falls with major injury, and emergency department visits all exceed state averages negatively.
No federal penalties or payment denials were imposed in three years.
Walk Score 28 reflects a car-dependent neighborhood; the facility sits 0.27 miles from the nearest hospital.
Medilodge serves residents across short-term post-acute care and longer-term skilled nursing needs. However, the pattern of recurrent deficiencies across care coordination, medication administration, and facility maintenance indicates the presence of systemic challenges related to operational improvements and staff oversight protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions
What government services provide money for senior housing?
Several government programs offer financial assistance for senior housing in various countries, focusing on the United States for a broad overview:
- Medicaid: Medicaid is a state and federally funded program that can cover the costs of nursing home care for those who meet eligibility criteria, including income and asset limits. Some states also offer Medicaid waivers that help pay for home and community-based services to prevent or delay nursing home placement.
- Medicare: Medicare, primarily a health insurance program for people aged 65 and over, does not cover long-term housing costs. However, it can cover short-term stays in a skilled nursing facility under specific conditions following a hospital stay.
- Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly Program: This program provides housing for low-income seniors. It offers rental assistance and access to supportive services, such as cleaning, cooking, and transportation.
- Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) Properties: While not a direct subsidy, LIHTC encourages developers to create affordable housing. Seniors with low incomes can find reduced-rent apartments through this program.
- State and Local Programs: Many states, counties, and cities offer their own programs to assist seniors with housing costs. These can include property tax relief programs, rental assistance programs, and programs that offer affordable senior housing options.
- Veterans Affairs (VA): The VA offers several programs for veterans, including the Aid and Attendance benefit, which provides monthly payments to veterans who require the aid of another person, or are housebound, to help cover the cost of care in homes, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities.
- Social Security: While Social Security primarily provides retirement income, for many seniors, these benefits are a crucial part of their budget, including housing costs.
How do you pick the homes you recommend?
Before recommending homes, we conduct a thorough evaluation on crucial factors that define a senior home such as the quality of care they provide, the reputation of the organization, and a comprehensive review of community testimonials as well. Every detail is assessed to assure that seniors are offered not just senior care options, but trustworthy homes where they can experience the care that they deserve.
Do you help families that need Medicaid?
Yes. Assisting families who need Medicaid is important to us as it plays a crucial role in offering financial support to seniors confronting economic challenges. We would like to keep essential healthcare services accessible to all community members, irrespective of one’s financial circumstances.
How much does this service cost?
We extend our services at no cost, ensuring that families and seniors can benefit from tailored assistance in their search for care and home options. Our ability to offer personalized guidance without charge to families and seniors is made possible through the support and funding from the communities with which we team up.
