Overview of Ridgeway

Ridgeway is a 31-bed adult congregate facility at 72188 Russ Road in Richmond, Macomb County, Michigan, operated by Haven Adult Foster Care Limited, offering assisted living and memory care with respite care. The facility’s license status is “1st Provisional” and. Walk score is 62, moderately walkable. Current occupancy is 81 percent, approximately 25 residents in 31 beds, indicating declining demand.

Over 12 years since original licensing in April 2014, the facility accumulated 21 deficiencies at 1.8 per year, 157 percent worse than Michigan’s state average. This is not a facility with isolated lapses but rather systemic compliance failures across resident safety, medication management, environmental conditions, and guardian notification. The pattern has persisted across multiple complaint investigations without demonstrating sustained improvement.

The July 2, 2025, incident exemplifies the underlying problem. Resident A suffered severe facial burns from a firework while sitting outside alone wearing supplemental oxygen. The facility failed to immediately notify the resident’s legal guardian or seek medical care, and investigation substantiated these violations. The resident was eventually hospitalized.

June 2024 found seven deficiencies including unlicensed staff without background checks, medication errors with incomplete logs, failure to notify guardians of hospitalizations and deaths, inadequate temperature control, mismanagement of resident funds, and insufficient bathrooms for capacity. April 2024 identified incomplete medication logs, phone restrictions preventing resident contact with guardians, and lack of nutritious food. April 2025 found water system deficiencies and unpaid regulatory fees. Earlier investigations in 2023 and 2022 documented unsecured medications in common areas and broken bathrooms.

The provisional license status reflects regulatory judgment that the facility has not demonstrated sustained compliance. The inspection record shows foundational problems have not been corrected despite 21 documented deficiencies. Do not place a vulnerable resident in this facility.

Families should know the serious incident involving severe burns and failure to notify a guardian is evidence of ongoing systemic failure.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care in Michigan

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Michigan?

Assisted living in Michigan supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

Does Michigan Medicaid cover memory care?

Michigan Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, but most states (including Michigan) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is memory care?

Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, with secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and routines built to reduce confusion and wandering.

How many memory care communities are listed on this page?

This page features 376 memory care communities in Michigan. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right memory care community in Michigan?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Michigan, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting memory care communities in Michigan?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
