Overview of Allegria Village

Allegria Village sits at 15101 Ford Rd in Dearborn, Michigan, a mid-rise community operated by Firo Operator LLC with 132 beds spread across studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom floor plans. The building opened four years ago. The neighborhood is moderately walkable, with a Walk Score of 52.

The numbers here tell a specific story. Seventy of 132 beds are occupied, and the average resident stays 31 days. This is not primarily a long-term placement facility. It runs like a post-acute hub, with short-term rehab, rehabilitation services, and respite care as the core offerings, backed by a doctor on staff and 24-hour staffing.

Total nursing care reaches 4 hours and 43 minutes per resident per day, with nurse aides covering 2 hours and 26 minutes of that. For families navigating a discharge from the hospital, these figures tell them what they’re getting.

Allegria Village carries four care tracks: nursing home, assisted living, independent living, and memory care, which means residents who start with short-term rehab have the option to transition rather than relocate. The community has a 55+ Living program and an active resident council. Recreational activities and beauty services are on-site.

State inspections have tended to center on medication management, care planning and documentation, staffing and staff credentials, and environmental safety. The facility accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.

For a family looking at post-acute rehab in the western Detroit metro, Allegria Village offers a multi-care-track setting where a short stay and a longer one can happen under the same roof.
